Selective predation by parrotfishes on the reef coral Porites astreoides (2005, background): “Parrotfishes have generally been classified as herbivores (Randall 1967, Horn 1989, Choat 1991), which are likely to be nitrogen-limited (Mattson Jr 1980, Choat 1991, Bruggemann et al. 1994b,c, Choat & Clements 1998).”
Sediment‐mediated suppression of herbivory on coral reefs: Decreasing resilience to rising sea‐levels and climate change? (2008, methodology): “For coral reefs, this assumption is based largely on inferential data (Airoldi 2003), although the highest herbivorous and detritivorous fish densities are found on the reef crest, where sediment loads are lowest (Purcell and Bellwood 2001; Wilson et al. 2003; Fox and Bellwood 2007).”
Cross-shelf variation in the role of parrotfishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2008, methodology): “The sediment loads for each reef zone were taken from Purcell and Bellwood (2001).”
