Drifting algal mats as an alternative habitat for benthic invertebrates:: Species specific responses to a transient resource
Patchy occurrences of benthic drift algae (ie loose lying macroalgal mats) may increase
habitat complexity on normally bare soft bottoms, but at the same time, extensive amounts of …

Macrofauna communities across a seascape of seagrass meadows: environmental drivers, biodiversity patterns and conservation implications
Similar to other coastal biogenic habitats (eg tidal marshes, kelp forests, mangroves and
coral reefs), a key function of seagrass meadows is the enhancement of biodiversity …

Abundance and species richness as a function of food resources and vegetation structure: juvenile fish assemblages in rivers
G Grenouillet, D Pont, KL Seip - Ecography, 2002 - Wiley Online Library
Availability of food and habitat complexity are two factors generally invoked to explain the
high density of fish in vegetated habitats. The role of food resources (zooplankton) and …

Effect of patch size and in-patch location on the infaunal macroinvertebrate assemblages of Zostera marina seagrass beds
Much recent work on patch-occupancy dynamics has been concentrated in terrestrial
ecosystems, with few examples evident from soft-sediment marine habitats. Seagrass …
