Mangrove-microbe-soil relations
TL;DR: Close and highly efficient tree-microbe-soil interrelationships are a major factor in explaining why mangroves are highly productive forests in oligotrophic environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stand structure influences nekton community composition and provides protection from natural disturbance in Micronesian mangroves
TL;DR: Tidal creek nekton assemblages were compared among mangrove forests impacted by Typhoon Sudal and differing in stand structure to indicate that studies of structural complexity and neKton densities may be better served when individual species are compared and that diverse mangroves tree assemblage will support diverse nektons that may be more resilient to disturbance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Colonization and shift of mollusc assemblages as a restoration indicator in planted mangroves in the Philippines
TL;DR: There was a shift in species composition, abundance and biomass of mollusc assemblages for all faunal types (infauna, epifauna and arboreal fauna) as forest age increased, correlated with the changes in vegetation and above-ground biomass.

Spatial variability of macrozoobenthic diversity on tidal flats of the Niger Delta, Nigeria: the role of substratum
Nenibarini Zabbey,A. I. Hart +1 more
TL;DR: Baseline community assemblages and diversity of macrozoobenthic infauna in soft-bottomed intertidal flats at Bodo Creek on the upper reaches of the Andoni-Bonny estuarine system were determined spatially and in relation to sediment particle characteristics for two years from May 2006 to April 2008 as mentioned in this paper.

Mangrove habitat partitioning by Ucides cordatus (Ucididae): effects of the degree of tidal flooding and tree-species composition during its life cycle
TL;DR: It is suggested that tree-species composition and tidal flooding level can have a significant effect on the habitat partitioning of sexes and sizes of the mangrove crab U. cordatus both during and outside the breeding season.

The biology, ecology and functional aspects of the organs of feeding and digestion of the S.E. Asian mangrove bivalve, Enigmonia aenigmatica (Mollusca: Anomiacea)
TL;DR: The feeding and digestive cycle of Enigmonia has been described and found to be correlated with the rhythm of the tide; it is essentially similar to that described for some other littoral bivalves.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nitrogen-Fixing Bacteria from Warty Lenticellate Bark of a Mangrove Tree, Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (L.) Lamk
TL;DR: The results of this investigation suggest that the acetylene reduction activity of lenticellate wart of mangrove trunk bark is due to the presence in the warts of nitrogen-fixing bacteria belonging to the family Enterobacteriaceae.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Mineral Composition of Intracellular Inclusions in Nematodes From Thiobiotic Mangrove Mud-Flats
TL;DR: Energy dispersive analysis of secondary X-rays by scanning electron microscopy of thick epoxy sections shows concentrations of Si, P, S, K, Ca and Fe in their tissues and the physiological implications of these observations are discussed.
