• Introduced Macroalgae – a Growing Concern (2006, background): “less diverse algal turf assemblages and seagrass meadows can promote the establishment of introduced Caulerpa species (Cecherelli & Cinelli, 1998; Ceccherelli et al., 2002).”
• European seaweeds under pressure: Consequences for communities and ecosystem functioning (2015, background): “beds have been shown to be limited (Ceccherelli et al., 2002; Molenaar et al., 2009).”
• Phytotoxic activity of caulerpenyne from the Mediterranean invasive variety of Caulerpa racemosa: a potential allelochemical (2007, background): “However, the determinants of the observed structural and physiological changes induced in the benthic community have not been fully investigated, although Ceccherelli et al. (2002) have speculated on the possible occurrence of an allelopathic interaction by which the release of a phytotoxic compou”
• Marine Bioinvasions in the Mediterranean Sea – History, Distribution and Ecology (2009, background): “It outcompetes local floral species, mostly those that are low-laying, (i.e., encrusting or turf algal species), while erect species are less vulnerable ( Ceccherelli et al. 2002 ).”
• Alien species along the Italian coasts: an overview (2010, background): “A good deal of research has been devoted to investigating the interactions of invasive Caulerpa spp. with the native vegetation (Ceccherelli et al. 2002; Piazzi et al. 2003, 2007; Balata et al. 2004), including long term effects after removal (Piazzi and Ceccherelli 2006).”
• Invasion of alien macroalgae in different Mediterranean habitats (2009, background): “Another possible cause of matte vulnerability may be the generally lower complexity of the associated assemblages, as the spread of C. racemosa appeared inversely related with the complexity of native assemblages ( Ceccherelli et al. 2002 ).”
• A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “The siphonous green seaweeds (Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides, Caulerpa taxifolia, C. racemosa var. cylindracea) are strong interference (direct) competitors of seaweeds (Piazzi et al. 2001) and seagrasses (Ceccherelli & Cinelli 1997, Ceccherelli et al. 2002, Garbary et al. 2004).”
• Impacts of introduced seaweeds (2007, background): “Examples for facilitation of establishment and growth of one alien seaweed by another is the promotion of Caulerpa taxifolia in the Mediterranean Sea by invasive red turf algae (Ceccherelli et al. 2002), and in California by the disturbance of native eelgrass beds by the mussel Musculista senhousia ”
