Community structure and diet of roving herbivorous reef fishes in the Abrolhos Archipelago, south‐western Atlantic (2006, background): “While herbivorous fish diets have been extensively analysed in the IndoPacific (Crossman et al., 2001, 2005; Choat et al., 2002, 2004; Wilson et al., 2003), only a few studies have been conducted on south-western Atlantic reefs (Ferreira et al., 1998; Dias et al., 2001; Aragão, 2003; Bonaldo et…”
Size-dependent variation in the functional role of the parrotfish Scarus rivulatus on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia (2008, background): “The EAM is widely recognized as a substratum rich in sediment and detritus and is of high nutritional value (Crossman et al. 2001, Purcell & Bellwood 2001, Wilson et al. 2003).”
Geographical gradients of marine herbivorous fishes: patterns and processes (2005, unknown): “1996; Gatesoupe and Lesel 1998), and (2) Although traditionally viewed as ‘‘algae-eaters,’’ many nominally herbivorous species have diets that include a large proportion of organic detritus and sediments (Crossman et al. 2001; Choat el al. 2002; Wilson et al. 2003).”
Selective predation by parrotfishes on the reef coral Porites astreoides (2005, background): “However, recent work on IndoPacific parrotfishes suggests that certain herbivorous species might be more accurately classified as detritivores (Crossman et al. 2001, Choat et al. 2002,2004, Wilson et al. 2003).”
Feeding complementarity versus redundancy among herbivorous fishes on a Caribbean reef (2011, unknown): “Detritus is often targeted by both acanthurids and scarids as a source of nutrition (Crossman et al. 2001; Wilson et al. 2003; Ferreira and Goncalves 2006).”
Nutritional ecology of marine herbivorous fishes: ten years on (2009, background): “The view that detritus is a key dietary component for many of the grazing fishes on coral reefs is more widely accepted now than in 1998 (Crossman et al .”
Coral recruitment and early benthic community development on several materials used in the construction of artificial reefs and breakwaters (2009, background): “Given that the benthos provides food, shelter, and settlement habitat for a variety of reef-associated organisms, including fish (Crossman et al., 2001; Elliott et al., 1995; Hartney and Grorud, 2002; Nishizaki and Ackerman, 2004; Qian, 1999), construction material may have an impact on the reef com”
