- Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “On the local scale, preferential selection for enriched, fast-growing algae by herbivores may effectively mask the effects of enrichment in smallscale in situ experiments (Boyer et al. 2004; Fong et al. 2006).”
- Effects of herbivores, nutrient enrichment, and their interactions on macroalgal proliferation and coral growth (2009, background): “This likely occurs due to herbivores selectively targeting more nutritious individuals, as has been documented in other studies ( Boyer et al. 2004; Fong et al. 2006; Heck et al. 2006; Russell and Connell 2007).”
- Marine megaherbivore grazing may increase seagrass tolerance to high nutrient loads (2012, background): “These alleviating effects could include increased production and concomitant uptake and export of nutrients, but also reduction of harmful algal overgrowth as has been found for mesoherbivores (Boyer et al. 2004; Hays 2005).”
- Community structure and diet of roving herbivorous reef fishes in the Abrolhos Archipelago, south‐western Atlantic (2006, background): “Boyer et al. (2004) had also added evidence of fishes’ ability to respond to changes in food quality according to a differential gradient in nutrient input.”
- Nutrient versus herbivore control of macroalgal community development and coral growth on a Caribbean reef (2009, background): “…treatments is not surprising given that herbivores are commonly N- rather than energy-limited (Mattson 1980) and that other experiments with herbivorous fishes have shown more rapid feeding on macrophytes that have been nutrient-enriched (Boyer et al. 2004, Fong et al. 2006, Furman & Heck 2008).”
