- Herbivory on freshwater and marine macrophytes: A review and perspective (2016, methodology): “…of macrophyte abundance, including biomass, two-dimensional cover, volume, and individual density (Kirsch et al., 2002; Marklund et al., 2002; Tomas et al., 2005; Prado et al., 2007; Christianen et al., 2012; Pages et al., 2012; Wood et al., 2012a; Kelkar et al., 2013b, a; Christianen et…”
- Extensive direct measurements of Posidonia oceanica defoliation confirm the importance of herbivory in temperate seagrass meadows (2007, methodology): “…Herbivory in Mediterranean seagrass meadows Indeed, this species was consistently responsible for the majority of the removed leaf material at all study sites and during most of the year, confirming the preeminence of fish in Posidonia oceanica herbivory (Cebrián et al. 1996, Tomas et al. 2005).”
- Do we protect biological originality in protected areas? A new index and an application to the Bonifacio Strait Natural Reserve (2008, background): “Any change in the abundance of this species would have a strong impact on ecosystem functioning through grazing activity (Tomas et al., 2005).”
- Role of fish herbivory in structuring the vertical distribution of canopy algae Cystoseira spp. in the Mediterranean Sea (2009, background): “This lack of evidence is particularly surprising as both fish and urchin herbivory varies bathymetrically in a highly predictable manner, with maximum values occurring in shallow waters (Verlaque 1990, Chelazzi et al. 1997, Tomas et al. 2005).”
