- The shape of success in a turbulent world: wave exposure filtering of coral reef herbivory (2017, background): “…of species responsible for grazing algal turfs (Marshell & Mumby 2012), scraping and excavating the reef substra- tum (Hoey & Bellwood 2009), removing macroalgae (Bell- wood, Hughes & Hoey 2006; Mantyka & Bellwood 2007) and consuming detritus (Goatley & Bellwood 2010; Mar- shell & Mumby 2012).”
- Nutritional ecology of marine herbivorous fishes: ten years on (2009, background): “For example, Mantyka & Bellwood (2007) suggested that the macroalgal attributes that may explain patterns of consumption by herbivorous fishes include morphology, growth rates, competitive ability, and structural and chemical defences.”
- Cross-shelf variation in the role of parrotfishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “Recent evidence suggests that parrotfishes have only a limited role in controlling the proliferation of fleshy macroalgae as they display a limited capacity to graze larger, or established, macroalgae (Bellwood et al. 2006; Mantyka and Bellwood 2007).”
- Responses of reef fish communities to coral declines on the Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “However, herbivorous fishes are not all equally effective in enhancing reef resilience (Bellwood et al. 2006, Ledlie et al. 2007, Mantyka & Bellwood 2007).”
- Maintenance of fish diversity on disturbed coral reefs (2009, background): “…and subtle variation in the diet of EAM-feeders imply different ecological roles (Wilson et al. 2003; Bellwood et al. 2006a; Ledlie et al. 2007; Mantyka and Bellwood 2007), and the presence of a greater diversity of EAM-feeding species following disturbances suggests comprehensive maintenance…”
- Coral–macroalgal phase shifts or reef resilience: links with diversity and functional roles of herbivorous fishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2010, background): “Secondly, rabbitfishes are among the few common inshore GBR fishes that consume significant amounts of brown macroalgae (Mantyka and Bellwood 2007a).”
- Feeding complementarity versus redundancy among herbivorous fishes on a Caribbean reef (2011, unknown): “…Mumby and Steneck 2008; Hughes et al. 2010), but how herbivore diversity and the complementarity and redundancy among herbivores species affect reef function is only beginning to be understood (Mantyka and Bellwood 2007a, b; Burkepile and Hay 2008, 2010; Hoey and Bellwood 2009; Cheal et al. 2010).”
- Remote video bioassays reveal the potential feeding impact of the rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus (f: Siganidae) on an inner-shelf reef of the Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “However, the fact that other species of roving herbivore within Pioneer Bay were observed taking so few (or zero) bites from the macroalgal assays (although they can exhibit strong preferences for other macroalgal species; Mantyka and Bellwood 2007a, b) makes the latter explanation unlikely.”
- Limited Functional Redundancy in a High Diversity System: Single Species Dominates Key Ecological Process on Coral Reefs (2009, background): “Recent studies on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), one of the world’s most intact coral reef systems, have demonstrated that only a few species are responsible for the removal of erect brown macroalgae within this system (Bellwood and others 2006; Mantyka and Bellwood 2007; Fox and Bellwood 2008; Cvi”
- Macroalgal grazing selectivity among herbivorous coral reef fishes (2007, background): “…are primarily regarded as grazers of the epilithic algal matrix (Bellwood & Choat 1990, Bellwood 1994, Wilson et al. 2003, Choat et al. 2004, Fox & Bellwood 2007), all have previously been reported to feed on macroalgae under experimental conditions (Bellwood et al. 2006, Mantyka & Bellwood 2007).”
- Cross-shelf variation in browsing intensity on the Great Barrier Reef (2010, background): “…preference index (GPI) for each site (following Hoey and Bellwood 2009); GPI ¼ X pi ci; where pi is the proportion of biomass removed from the ith macroalgal species in a 3-h period (from Mantyka and Bellwood 2007) and ci is the proportional cover of the ith macroalgal species within each site.”
