Modeling Habitat Suitability for Cerithidea rhizophorarum and Telescopium telescopium in Indo‐West Pacific Mangroves [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionMangroves provide habitat for a diverse array of marine species, especially snails. We used a MaxEnt model to predict potential global suitable habitat for Cerithidea rhizophorarum and Telescopium telescopium in the family Potamididae.

Are saltmarshes younger than mangrove swamps? [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Abstract Temperate saltmarshes and tropical mangrove swamps (mangals) are marine‐influenced, productive ecosystems that enhance nutrient transfers between land and sea and facilitate colonization of lineages between terrestrial and marine habitats. Mangals have existed since the late Cretaceous, but the time of origin of saltmarshes is less clear.

Functional and phylogenetic responses of motile cryptofauna to habitat degradation. [PDF]
J Anim Ecol, 2022 Uncovering the hidden biodiversity of coral reefs. Divers mostly see corals and fishes, but these authors have found increased numbers and diversity of tiny animals hidden in dead coral and rubble. Such animals are overlooked, but may help support food webs and functioning as the living coral structure degrades. Abstract Biodiversity of terrestrial and

Optimizing mangrove afforestation: Mollusc biodiversity comparisons reveal optimal mudflat-mangrove area ratio. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThe area of mangrove forest has been increased by mudflat afforestation worldwide, yet the problem of how to allocate the mudflat–mangrove area has been neglected. Mudflats had higher molluscs abundance and lower functional vulnerability, which were mainly affected by sediment properties, while mangroves hosted greater taxonomic and functional richness,

Comparison of the coexistence pattern of mangrove macrobenthos between natural and artificial reforestation. [PDF]
Ecol EvolThis study explored which method is more effective in restoring the biodiversity of mangrove macrobenthos in existing methods for abandoned pond‐to‐mangrove restoration including artificial and natural restorations. We found that similar species composition, lower biotic heterogeneity and species interaction among macrobenthos at artificial restoration

Zonation of mangrove flora and fauna in a subtropical estuarine wetland based on surface elevation. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2020 The spatial distributions of mangrove plants and molluscs showed obvious patterns of zonation correlating with surface elevation. Mangrove flora and fauna within each habitat niche occupied distinct vertical ranges along the elevation gradient, irrespective of season.

Dissolved iron elution from mangrove ecosystem associated with polyphenols and a herbivorous snail. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2019 The iron‐supply function of mangrove ecosystems to coastal sea: This paper indicated that iron solubilization in mangrove sediments will be promoted by interaction among (a) iron in the sediment, (b) phenolic compounds derived from mangroves, and (c) the consumption of leaves and deposition of feces by snails. Abstract Interest in the systems supplying
