El Niño, grazers and fisheries interact to greatly elevate extinction risk for Galapagos marine species (2010, background): “Although not found to be significant, the greatly increased cover of foliose green algal species in 1984 was also probably real given parallels with the massive increase in cover of Ulva (including Enteromorpha) that was documented in lower intertidal habitats during the transition into La Niña cond”
Feeding ecology of the green sea turtle (Chelonia mydas) in the Galapagos Islands (2010, background): “Although, biomass of Ulva reduces significantly during the warm season (Vinueza et al., 2006) no significant differences were found in its consumption proportion by the green turtle in both seasons, which suggest selection of this resource, yet when it is scarce.”
EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ON GLOBAL SEAWEED COMMUNITIES (2012, background): “As the environment changes, the times and places that seaweeds are most, or least, impacted by herbivory will change as well (see e.g., Vinueza et al. 2006).”
A boom–bust phylum? Ecological and evolutionary consequences of density variations in echinoderms (2009, background): “The reason for this was possibly a decline of its major barnacle prey (Vinueza et al. 2006).”
