Identifying the consequences of ocean sprawl for sedimentary habitats
Extensive development and construction in marine and coastal systems is driving a
phenomenon known as “ocean sprawl”. Ocean sprawl removes or transforms marine …

Increasing microhabitat complexity on seawalls can reduce fish predation on native oysters
Increasingly, urbanised coastlines are being armoured by shoreline protection structures,
such as seawalls. Seawalls typically lack the complex microhabitats and protective spaces …

Effects of shoreline armouring and overwater structures on coastal and estuarine fish: opportunities for habitat improvement
SH Munsch, JR Cordell, JD Toft - Journal of Applied Ecology, 2017 - Wiley Online Library
Nearshore ecosystems are increasingly recognized as critical habitats for fish of cultural,
ecological and economic significance. These ecosystems are often densely inhabited by …

Generalizing ecological effects of shoreline armoring across soft sediment environments
Despite its widespread use, the ecological effects of shoreline armoring are poorly
synthesized and difficult to generalize across soft sediment environments and structure …

Metrics matter: Multiple diversity metrics at different spatial scales are needed to understand species diversity in urban environments
Worldwide, natural habitats are being replaced by artificial structures due to urbanisation.
Planning of such modifications should strive for environmental net gain that benefits …

Fine-scale habitat use and behavior of a nearshore fish community: nursery functions, predation avoidance, and spatiotemporal habitat partitioning
SH Munsch, JR Cordell, JD Toft - Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2016 - int-res.com
We have a limited understanding of habitat use and behavior in nearshore fish communities
because they are rarely observed in situ. Consequently, ecologists recommend a process …
