• ANTHROPOGENIC ENRICHMENT ALTERS A MARINE BENTHIC FOOD WEB (2005, background): “…diversity by suppressing autochthonous primary producers through heavy grazing pressure and competitive consumers and predators through a combination of resource depletion and consumption of new recruits (Polis et al. 1989, Polis and Strong 1996, Rose et al. 1999, Alcoverro and Mariani 2002).”
• Seasonal and small-scale spatial variability of herbivory pressure on the temperate seagrass Posidonia oceanica (2005, background): “As in the case of many other marine herbivores (e.g. Odgen et al. 1973, Bjorndal 1980, Hay 1984, Alcoverro & Mariani 2002, Kirsch et al. 2002), our study shows that Sarpa salpa does not graze uniformly, either temporally or spatially.”
• Effects of herbivores on a Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow: importance of epiphytes (2005, background): “…a number of studies have reported considerable effects of grazers on seagrass biomass and production (see review by Valentine & Heck 1999) and cases of overgrazing have been repeatedly described (Camp et al. 1973, Odgen et al. 1973, Maciá & Lirman 1999, Rose et al. 1999, Alcoverro & Mariani 2002).”
• The effects of predator abundance and habitat structural complexity on survival of juvenile sea urchins (2005, background): “…in many systems, such as algal communities (e.g. Lawrence 1975; Andrew and Choat 1982; Himmelman et al. 1983), seagrass beds (e.g. Camp et al. 1973; Maciá and Lirman 1999; Alcoverro and Mariani 2002) and coral reefs (e.g. Hughes et al. 1987; Carpenter 1990; McClanahan and Shafir 1990).”
