Mangrove forests occur throughout the coastlines of Arabia, one of the most environmentally
extreme regions of their global distribution. The gray mangrove [Avicennia marina (Forsk.) …

The dietary importance of mangroves for fish production often seems to be minor. However,
robust comparisons of fish food webs at mangrove vs. non-mangrove sites are largely …

Mangrove forest productivity is normally sustained by nutrients from terrestrial runoff, with
freshwater inputs driving the resulting outwelling of production, but arid mangroves lack this …

The Arabian Gulf represents one of the more northerly extremes of mangrove distribution in
the Indo-Pacific, and is populated only by Avicennia marina, due to its tolerance of high …

Abstract Mudskippers (Gobiidae: Oxudercinae), are air-breathing fish, that play important
roles in the structuring of benthic communities in mangrove habitats, serving as important …

Extensive aquaculture in coastal and estuarine wetlands can support both increased food
production and wider ecosystem services when underpinned by effective management to …

Crabs of the family Camptandriidae are the most dominant burrowing crabs inhabiting arid
mangrove forests of the Persian Gulf. They play important roles in the structuring and …

Seagrass beds form an important part of the coastal ecosystem in many parts of the world
but are very sensitive to anthropogenic nutrient increases. In the last decades, stable …

This study assessed the enrichment of mercury in the food web from the different community
habitats in a zinc-smelting area of China. We used a nitrogen stable isotope technique to …

The outwelling paradigm argues that mangrove and saltmarsh wetlands export much excess
production to downstream marine systems. However, outwelling is difficult to quantify and …
