Impact of coral predators on tropical reefs (2008, background): “…& Bouchon-Navaro (1983) 73 Wrathall et al. (1992) 74 Alwany et al. (2003) 75 Righton et al. (1998) 76 Zekeria et al.

Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “Coral reef fishes have been classified into functional groups based on trophic level, ecological role, body size, home range, habitat associations, or a combination of these factors [25,29-31].”
Remote video bioassays reveal the potential feeding impact of the rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus (f: Siganidae) on an inner-shelf reef of the Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “This genus is not present in the Indo-Pacific (Bellwood 1994) and functional equivalents in terms of seagrass consumption (Calotomus and Leptoscarus) (Streelman et al. 2002) are relatively rare ( Hoey and Bellwood 2007 ).”
Sediment‐mediated suppression of herbivory on coral reefs: Decreasing resilience to rising sea‐levels and climate change? (2008, background): “Parrotfish grazing on the inner GBR can scrape the entire reef crest surface every 19 d (Fox and Bellwood 2007; Hoey and Bellwood 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): “Bioerosion plays a critical role in coral reef resilience by removing dead coral and cleaning areas of substratum for colonization by benthic organisms, facilitating the settlement, growth and survival of coralline algae and corals (Steneck 1988, Hoey and Bellwood 2008).”
The importance of structural complexity in coral reef ecosystems (2012, background): “of fish known to provide a range of critical functional roles regarding the removal of turf and/or macroalgae from reefs (Bellwood et al. 2004; Burkepile and Hay 2008; Hoey and Bellwood 2008; Mumby 2009).”
Limited Functional Redundancy in a High Diversity System: Single Species Dominates Key Ecological Process on Coral Reefs (2009, background): “Within the GBR, there is a marked separation of inshore reefs from mid- and outer-shelf reefs in benthic composition, herbivore community structure, environmental parameters, and ecosystem processes (Fabricius and De’ath 2001; Hoey and Bellwood 2008; Wismer and others 2009).”
Diversity and functional importance of coral‐feeding fishes on tropical coral reefs (2008, background): “However, a few studies have estimated the amount of material removed by corallivores who ingest skeletal material (Glynn et al. 1972; Glynn 1985; Cox 1986; Reyes-Bonilla and Calderon-Aguilera 1999; Bellwood et al. 2003; Hoey and Bellwood 2008).”
Cross-shelf benthic community structure on the Great Barrier Reef: relationships between macroalgal cover and herbivore biomass (2009, background): “However, Hoey & Bellwood (2008) estimated that scarid grazing rates were highest on inner-shelf reefs, which suggests that high sediment loads may be more important than grazing in limiting CCA in these locations.”
Cross-shelf variation in browsing intensity on the Great Barrier Reef (2010, methodology): “Within the GBR, there is a marked separation of inshore reefs (approximately 5–20 km offshore) from mid- (30– 60 km offshore) and outer-shelf (50–100 km offshore) reefs in benthic composition, herbivore community structure, environmental parameters and ecosystem processes (Fabricius and De’ath 2001;”
The status of coral reef ecology research in the Red Sea (2013, background): “…large variation in the abundance and community structure of herbivores across a range of spatial scales (e.g. latitude: Floeter et al. 2005; shelf position: Hoey and Bellwood 2008; habitat: Hay 1981) and related this to variation in algal communities across similar scales (e.g. Wismer et al. 2009).”
