A study was undertaken within a sub‐tidal Zostera marina seagrass bed (Devon, UK), with
the aim of elucidating the relationship between seagrass structural complexity and the size …

The role of habitat structural complexity in shaping faunal communities has been of key
interest to marine ecologists for many years, principally due to the association between …

An examination of macrofaunal microhabitats within a seagrass meadow was conducted in
Apalachee Bay (north Florida). Core samples were taken from two substrata within the …

Two potential measures of habitat complexity, plant species number and aboveground plant
biomass, are considered in relation to the species richness and abundance of motile …

Seagrass habitats exhibit high structural variability at local (< 1 to 10s of m) and landscape
(100 to 1000s of m) scales, which is closely linked with physical setting. In this study, we …

Plant diversity is believed to govern animal community structure, yet few studies have tested
this relationship. We manipulated plant species diversity and composition (2 seagrasses …

The height and density of seagrass leaves were manipulated to about one-third normal
levels to test whether associated fish and decapods were affected. The experiments tested …

This study examines whether relationships between abundances of fishes and decapods
and the leaf height and density of seagrass determined from small scale field experiments …

The spatial arrangement of seagrass beds varies from scales of centimeters to meters
(rhizomes, shoot groups), meters to tens of meters (patches), to tens of meters to kilometers …

Thirteen seagrass beds located over a 80-km range in the brackish waters of SW, Finland,
northern Baltic Sea were investigated in order to determine the environmental variables …
