   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish; functional group; food-web interactions; nursery; coral; seagrass; mangrove; landscape ecology; marin ekotoxikologi; Marine Ecotoxicology;

   Abstract : Coral reefs, seagrass beds and mangroves constitute a complex mosaic of habitats referred to as the tropical seascape. Great gaps exist in the knowledge of how these systems are interconnected. This thesis sets out to examine ecological connectivity, i.e. READ MORE

4. 2. Effects of Marine Protected Areas on Tropical Seagrass Ecosystems

   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; coastal ecosystems; seagrass; marine protected areas; management; conservation; fish; herbivory; Western Indian Ocean; East Africa; tropical; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

   Abstract : Seagrass beds are highly productive coastal ecosystems that sustain a rich and diverse associated fauna and flora. Increasing anthropogenic pressures threaten seagrass ecosystems and have already led to major seagrass losses across the world. READ MORE

5. 3. Identification and implications of fish nurseries in tropical and subtropical seascapes

   Author : Linda Eggertsen; Charlotte Berkström; Nils Kautsky; Johan Eklöf; Simon Pittman; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; marinbiologi; Marine Biology;

   Abstract : Many species of reef fish reside in specific nursery habitats as juveniles. Seagrass meadows, and mangroves are examples of well-recognized nursery habitats, but only recently canopy-forming seaweeds have been found to provide important habitats for some fish species in the tropics.
