1. Ecological connectivity in East African seascapes
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
2. Effects of Marine Protected Areas on Tropical Seagrass Ecosystems
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
3. Identification and implications of fish nurseries in tropical and subtropical seascapes
Sammanfattning : 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. LÄS MER
4. Introduced and indigenous macroalgae : Ecological effects, functions and regulating factors in tropical seascapes
Sammanfattning : Tropical marine shallow-water areas are highly productive systems that promote important ecological functions and biodiversity. Stressors on these systems are intensifying due to increasing anthropogenic disturbances on multiple scales. LÄS MER
