• The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. III. Biogeographical and evolutionary consequences (2006, background): “Harrold & Lisin (1989), for example, observed that the majority of Macrocystis pyrifera rafts in Monterey Bay (California) remained within the bay as a consequence of local current and wind conditions.”
• Production and fate of kelp detritus (2012, unknown): “Kelp rafts accumulate diverse communities of invertebrates while drifting (Edgar 1987, Hobday 2000b, Thiel & Gutow 2005).”
• Processing of allochthonous macrophyte subsidies by sandy beach consumers: estimates of feeding rates and impacts on food resources (2008, background): “In regions where the production of reef macroalgae, such as kelps, is high (e.g., Kirkman 1984; Dayton 1985; Hobday 2000), inputs of drift macrophytes to beaches can be extensive.”
• GLOBAL ECOLOGY OF THE GIANT KELP MACROCYSTIS : FROM ECOTYPES TO ECOSYSTEMS (2007, background): “Holdfast, mid-water fronds and canopies can retain epifaunal fishes and mobile and sessile invertebrates even when drifting sporophytes travel long distances (Edgar 1987, Vásquez 1993, Helmuth et al. 1994, Hobday 2000a,b,c, Smith 2002, Macaya et al. 2005, Thiel & Gutow 2005a,b).”
• Annual cycle of wrack supply to sandy beaches: effect of the physical environment (2011, background): “In many coastal regions, beaches near areas with high production of macroalgae and/or seagrasses receive extensive wrack inputs (e.g. Stenton-Dozey & Griffiths 1983, Hobday 2000, Mateo 2010).”
• The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. I: The floating substrata (2004, methodology): “Floating items of biotic origin may provide food resources to rafting organisms: macroalgae and wood typically harbour a diverse fauna of grazing and boring invertebrates (Ingólfsson 1995, Hobday 2000a, Vishwakiran et al. 2001) that feed on their substrata.”
• PRESENCE OF SPOROPHYLLS IN FLOATING KELP RAFTS OF MACROCYSTIS SPP. (PHAEOPHYCEAE) ALONG THE CHILEAN PACIFIC COAST 1 (2005, background): “Some of these macroalgae, for example, the sporophytes of the giant kelp Macrocystis spp., possess special gas-filled structures or pneumatocysts that allow them to float freely on the sea surface after detachment (Hobday 2000a).”
• Hurricane-mediated defoliation of kelp beds and pulsed delivery of kelp detritus to offshore sedimentary habitats (2012, background): “As these canopy kelps break-up or are dislodged, they entangle other kelps (Dayton 1985) and create floating rafts of drift algae (Hobday 2000).”
