Causes and consequences of ontogenetic dietary shifts: a global synthesis using fish models
Ontogenetic dietary shifts (ODSs), the changes in diet utilisation occurring over the life span
of an individual consumer, are widespread in the animal kingdom. Understanding ODSs …

Quantifying the conservation value of seascape connectivity: a global synthesis
Aim Connectivity structures populations, communities and ecosystems in the sea. The extent
of connectivity is, therefore, predicted to also influence the outcomes of conservation …

Animal behaviour shapes the ecological effects of ocean acidification and warming: moving from individual to community‐level responses
I Nagelkerken, PL Munday - Global Change Biology, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Biological communities are shaped by complex interactions between organisms and their
environment as well as interactions with other species. Humans are rapidly changing the …

The seascape nursery: a novel spatial approach to identify and manage nurseries for coastal marine fauna
Coastal marine and estuarine ecosystems are highly productive and serve a nursery
function for important fisheries species. They also suffer some of the highest rates of …

Mangrove habitat use by juvenile reef fish: meta-analysis reveals that tidal regime matters more than biogeographic region
Identification of critical life-stage habitats is key to successful conservation efforts. Juveniles
of some species show great flexibility in habitat use while other species rely heavily on a …

Reassessing the nursery role of seagrass habitats from temperate to tropical regions: a meta-analysis
JM McDevitt-Irwin, JC Iacarella, JK Baum - Marine Ecology Progress …, 2016 - int-res.com
Identifying and protecting coastal nursery habitats is imperative as human impacts to these
areas accelerate. Nursery habitats support higher juvenile (1) density,(2) growth, or (3) …
