Animals are central to numerous ecological processes that shape the structure and function of ecosystems. It follows that species that are strongly linked to specific functions can represent these functions spatially and hence be useful in conservation planning. Here we test this notion of ‘functional species surrogacy’ for the conservation of seagrass meadows that have been impacted by stressors...
Variability in habitat positioning within seascapes (over kilometres) influences fauna assemblage composition, but the characteristics of a habitat patch (10–100s of metres) influence how species use that patch and how variable assemblages are within habitats. Understanding the relative influence of these two contrasting scales is crucial to improving the management of marine habitats. We used baited...
In theory, carbon is highly mobile in aquatic systems. Recent evidence from carbon stable isotopes of crabs (Parasesarma erythrodactyla and Australoplax tridentata), however, shows that in subtropical Australian waters, measurable carbon movement between adjacent mangrove and saltmarsh habitats is limited to no more than a few metres. We tested whether the pattern in crab δ13C values across mangrove...
