Ecosystem Engineering across Environmental Gradients: Implications for Conservation and Management (2006, background): “Competitive refuge can also be provided by organisms that generate alternative habitats where dominant competitors are absent, as do corals that form reefs where sponges that are competitively excluded from mangroves can persist in the absence of dominant competitors (Wulff 2005).”
The habitat function of mangroves for terrestrial and marine fauna: a review (2008, background): “…than abiotic factors in affecting mangrove sponge ecology, was based on transplantation experiments conducted in offshore mangrove habitats in Belize (Wulff, 2005), where Ellison and Farnsworth (1992) had previously found abiotic conditions were least stressful, and species richness was highest.”
The role of sponge competition on coral reef alternative steady states (2011, unknown): “Although predation has been shown to be an important structuring process for non-excavating sponges (Dunlap and Pawlik, 1996; Loh and Pawlik, 2009; Pawlik, 1998; Schönberg and Ortiz, 2009; Wulff, 2005), data on predation of tropical excavating sponges are lacking.”
