• Revisiting the catastrophic die-off of the urchin Diadema antillarum on Caribbean coral reefs: Fresh insights on resilience from a simulation model (2006, background): “Furthermore, one of us (PJM) has documented a numerical response in parrotfish at Long Cay in the 4 years since the reefs were struck by Hurricane Mitch in 1998 (Mumby et al., 2005).”
• Complex reef architecture supports more small‐bodied fishes and longer food chains on Caribbean reefs (2011, background): “The relationship between herbivorous fishes and Montastraea cover is more 9  complex; the complex structures and ramets of Montastraea may support greater algal 10  diversity and biomass (Mumby et al. 2005, Piñón-Gimate and Collado-Vides 2008), and thus 11  be attractive to herbivorous fishes.”
• 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): “…algal assemblages in a cropped state, they are unable to maintain all areas of reef substratum in that condition, particularly in areas of low coral cover, high nutrients and where the urchin Diadema antillarum remains scarce (Williams et al 2001, Mumby 2006, Mumby et al 2005, Paddack et al 2006).”
• Phase shifts and the stability of macroalgal communities on Caribbean coral reefs (2009, methodology): “Macroalgal growth over dead coral (cropped algae) In addition to arising from cropped algae that are not grazed (above), established macroalgae also spread vegetatively over cropped algae (mostly Lobophora as Dictyota spread shows little pattern with grazing (Mumby et al. 2005)).”
• Coral–macroalgal phase shifts or reef resilience: links with diversity and functional roles of herbivorous fishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2010, background): “2001), particularly when large-scale macroalgal colonization occurs rapidly after extensive coral mortality (Mumby et al. 2005).”
• Effect of macroalgal competition on growth and survival of juvenile Caribbean corals (2007, background): “In reality, growth retardation may not be continuous because of fluctuations in algal cover (Mumby et al. 2005).”
• Fishing down a Caribbean food web relaxes trophic cascades (2012, unknown): “A marine reserve has been enforced on parts of Glover’s Reef since 1996 and parrotfish community structure has been monitored since 1998 at 2 comparable windward forereef sites to those found at South Water Caye (Mumby et al. 2005).”
• Connectivity, regime shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2009, unknown): “Nonetheless, Mumby’s earlier model serves as a useful starting point for this article because it and some variants have been extensively explained, parameterized, and analysed (Mumby et al. 2005; Mumby 2006; Box and Mumby 2007; Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007).”
