• Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “Many possible defensive functions for algal natural products (often called secondary metabolites) have been proposed including antimicrobial, antifouling, and antifeedant activities (Paul et al. 2001; Paul and Ritson-Williams 2008; Lane and Kubanek 2008).”
• Allelochemicals produced by Caribbean macroalgae and cyanobacteria have species-specific effects on reef coral microorganisms (2011, background): “A wellknown function of macroalgal compounds is to provide chemical protection from abundant and diverse herbivores (Paul and Hay 1986; Nagle and Paul 1999; Paul et al. 2001).”
• Macrophytes as habitat for fauna (2009, unknown): “…Norderhaug (2004) showed that kelp-associated amphipods selected habitat (red algal species) according to architectural structure and complexity and not according to food value, indicating that the habitat was mainly important for protection and not as a food source (see also Paul et al. 2001).”
• Feeding rates of common Antarctic gammarid amphipods on ecologically important sympatric macroalgae (2006, background): “A variety of macroalgae are known to harbor defensive secondary metabolites that are deterrent to grazers (Paul et al., 2001; Paul and Puglisi, 2004; Van Alstyne et al., 2001).”
• Effects of the benthic cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula on larval recruitment of the reef corals Acropora surculosa and Pocillopora damicornis (2004, background): “Many benthic species of algae (Hay et al. 1987; Schmitt et al. 1995) and cyanobacteria (Nagle and Paul 1998; 1999; Pennings et al. 1997) produce toxic secondary metabolites that act as anti-herbivory and anti-fouling agents (see Paul et al. 2001 for review).”
• Chemical effects of macroalgae on larval settlement of the broadcast spawning coral Acropora millepora (2008, background): “It remains unclear to what extent these variable results reflect experimental differences, or biological, geographic or other variations (e.g. Paul et al. 2001), but it seems probable that, overall, reef overgrowth by L. variegata has detrimental effects on coral populations.”
• Chemically mediated interactions between macroalgae Dictyota spp. and multiple life-history stages of the coral Porites astreoides (2011, background): “These results further support the hypothesis that chemical defenses of macroalgae such as Dictyota spp. can facilitate their perpetuation on reefs that have undergone phase shifts by inhibiting coral recruitment (Rogers et al. 1997, Paul et al. 2001, Kuffner et al. 2006).”
• Benthic cyanobacterial bloom impacts the reefs of South Florida (Broward County, USA) (2005, background): “…produce nitrogenous secondary metabolites that serve as chemical defenses against herbivores (Pennings et al. 1997; Nagle and Paul 1998, 1999; Paul et al. 2001), selective browsing by herbivorous fishes on macroalgae can remove potential competitors and favor the establishment of…”
