Seagrass selection by omnivorous and herbivorous consumers: determining factors (2011, methodology): “In macrograzers, such as fish and sea urchins, some studies have already highlighted the role of nutritional characteristics due to physiological constraints and/or the presence of toxins in food preferences and consumption rates (e.g. Lobel & Ogden 1981, Paul & Hay 1986, Goecker et al. 2005).”
Geographic and ontogenetic variation in the diet and daily ration of the bonnethead shark, Sphyrna tiburo, from the eastern Gulf of Mexico (2007, background): “For example, seagrass is common in the diet of parrotfish, Sparisoma radians (Lobel and Ogden 1981; Goecker et al. 2005), pinfish, Lagodon rhomboides, (Weinstein et al. 1982), and halfbeaks, Hyporhamphus sp. (Klumpp and Nichols 1983).”
Parrotfish abundance and selective corallivory on a Belizean coral reef (2006, background): “Parrotfish have been shown to prefer algal diets with higher nitrogen content (Bruggemann et al., 1994b; Goecker et al., 2005).”
Eutrophication in shallow coastal bays and lagoons: the role of plants in the coastal filter (2007, background): “…between high nutrient content of the primary producers and high consumption rates (Horn 1989, McGlathery 1995, Cebrián 1999 and references therein, Goecker et al. 2005); however, other factors such as herbivore abundance, per capita grazing rates of the dominant herbivores, and feeding…”
