• How an introduced seaweed can affect epibiota diversity in different coastal systems (2006, background): “muticum has been shown to displace indigenous macroalgal species by competition for hard substratum and light (Stæhr et al. 2000; Britton-Simmons 2004), and observations by Bartsch and Tittley (2004) suggest that competition for space between S.”
• Invasion of alien macroalgae in different Mediterranean habitats (2009, background): “The substitution of native organisms with alien macroalgae can modify the environmental conditions and the functioning of ecosystems, causing an impoverishment of littoral systems (Rueness 1989; Staehr et al. 2000; Wikstrom and Kautsky 2004; Sanchez et al. 2005).”
• A framework to study the context-dependent impacts of marine invasions (2011, background): “…can vary at small spatial scales (Ceccherelli and Campo, 2002; Thomsen and McGlathery, 2006), regional scales (Bulleri et al., 2010; Thomsen et al., 2010), between seasons (Scheibling and Gagnon, 2006; Thomsen et al., 2006a, 2006b; Heiman and Micheli, 2010) and across years (Staehr et al., 2000).”
• Direct and indirect effects of the introduced alga Sargassum muticum on benthic, subtidal communities of Washington State, USA (2004, unknown): “…emerges from a review: studies in the intertidal zone have found little or no impact of S. muticum (DeWreede 1983, DeWreede & Vandermeulen 1988, Viejo 1997, Wilson 2001), but studies in the subtidal zone indicate relatively strong effects (Ambrose & Nelson 1982, Staehr et al. 2000, present study).”
• Alginate from the macroalgae Sargassum sinicola as a novel source for microbial immobilization material in wastewater treatment and plant growth promotion (2007, background): “Bars represent standard error of major quantities, sometimes considered as a contamination of tourist beaches or a plague that limits growth of other marine resources of economic importance (Ochieng & Erftemeijer, 1999; Staehr et al., 2000; Boudouresque & Verlaque, 2002).”
• The genus Laminaria sensu lato : recent insights and developments (2008, background): “saccharina populations declined significantly during the establishment of the invasive Sargassum muticum (Staer et al , 2000 ).”
• A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “Major shifts in community structure can occur even if species richness and biodiversity remain unchanged (Sax et al. 2005), as has occurred where Sargassum muticum has invaded (Sánchez et al. 2005, Stæhr et al. 2000).”
• Effects of native and invasive macroalgal canopies on composition and abundance of mobile benthic macrofauna and turf-forming algae (2007, background): “, 1995; Meinesz, 1999); a large canopy-forming brown alga Sargassum muticum in Denmark (Stæhr et al., 2000) and Washington State, USA (Britton-Simmons, 2004); and the kelp Undaria pinnatifida in Tasmania (Valentine and Johnson, 2005) and Patagonia (Casas et al.”
• Epibiota communities of the introduced and indigenous macroalgal relatives Sargassum muticum and Halidrys siliquosa in Limfjorden (Denmark) (2004, background): “muticum on indigenous algal assemblages (Fletcher and Fletcher 1975; Ambrose and Nelson 1982; Viejo 1997; Cosson 1999; Staehr et al. 2000) but only a limited number of studies have addressed the possible consequences for macroalgal epibiota.”
• Competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides and native canopy-forming seaweeds in Nova Scotia (Canada) (2006, background): “This contrasts with the situation in Limfjorden (Denmark), where established stands of Codium were competitively displaced by expanding populations of S. muticum between 1990 and 1997 (Staehr et al. 2000).”
• Spatial and seasonal variation in density, reproductive status, length and phenolic content of the invasive brown macroalga Sargassum muticum (Yendo) Fensholt along the coast of Western Brittany (France) (2006, background): “movement, and the parallel availability of hard substrate (Staehr et al., 2000).”
