Cross-shelf variation in browsing intensity on the Great Barrier Reef (2010, methodology): “Recent studies using stationary underwater video cameras have highlighted the potential problems of using such correlative approaches, especially for browsers of Sargassum (Bellwood et al. 2006; Fox and Bellwood 2008; Cvitanovic and Bellwood 2009).”
Cross-shelf benthic community structure on the Great Barrier Reef: relationships between macroalgal cover and herbivore biomass (2009, background): “…N. lituratus, N. tonganus, N. unicornis, Siganus canaliculatus and Platax pinnatus were identified as macroalgal browsers (species known to feed on fleshy macroalgae, following Randall et al. 1997, Choat et al. 2002, Bellwood et al. 2006, Fox & Bellwood 2008, Cvitanovic & Bellwood 2009).”
Coral–macroalgal phase shifts or reef resilience: links with diversity and functional roles of herbivorous fishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2010, background): “The latter is becoming increasingly apparent in the Siganidae (Fox and Bellwood 2008b; Fox et al. 2009) that were all considered to be algal browsers in this study.”
The shape of success in a turbulent world: wave exposure filtering of coral reef herbivory (2017, background): “However, as the abundance of herbivorous fishes does not necessarily equate to their function (Fox & Bellwood 2008), herbivory is most effectively quantified through direct observations of their feeding frequency (Bellwood, Hughes & Hoey 2006; Fox & Bellwood 2007, 2008).”
Monitoring functional groups of herbivorous reef fishes as indicators of coral reef resilience : a practical guide for coral reef managers in the Asia Pacific region (2009, background): “One example is an IndoPacific rabbitfish species (Siganus canaliculatus), which is known to feed on Sargassum (Mantyka and Coral Reef Resilience 17 Bellwood 2007, Fox and Bellwood 2008).”
Gear-based fisheries management as a potential adaptive response to climate change and coral mortality (2009, background): “%) of key species that have been shown to play essential roles in herbivory and predation on sea urchins (e.g. Echinometra mathaei , McClanahan 1995) and crown-of-thorns starfish ( Acanthaster planci ) (Power et al. 1996; Bellwood et al. 2003, 2006; Fox & Bellwood 2008).”
Latitudinal variation in macroalgal consumption by fishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2011, background): “Furthermore, studies of browsers on inshore reefs have revealed high variability in the role of species within and between studies at a local scale (Fox & Bellwood 2008, Cvitanovic & Bellwood 2009).”
Feeding complementarity versus redundancy among herbivorous fishes on a Caribbean reef (2011, unknown): “Similar to parrotfish on the Great Barrier Reef (Bellwood 1995; Bellwood et al. 2003), these larger parrotfish species may play fundamentally different roles on Caribbean reefs that smaller species cannot perform.”
