Rhodoliths and rhodolith beds (2013, background): “This preference likely contributes to high juvenile scallop densities (Kamenos et al., 2004a)h@ due to greater scallop selection, attachment, and growth (Kamenos et al., 2004b, 2004c).”
Reviews and syntheses: Calculating the global contribution of coralline algae to total carbon burial (2015, background): “The distribution and abundance of coralline algae is determined by ecological processes including growth, succession and competition (Steneck, 1986; McCoy and Kamenos, 2015) as well as by environmental conditions such as disturbance, temperature and irradiance (Adey and Macintyre, 1973; Kamenos et a”
Habitat structure and biological characteristics of a maerl bed off the northeastern coast of the Maltese Islands (central Mediterranean) (2009, unknown): “Rhodolith-forming algae have been described as ‘ecological engineers’ (Jones et al. 1994; Steller et al. 2003) as they provide a variety of ecological niches for a highly diverse suite of species, including epibenthic, epiphytic, cryptic, and infaunal species (Amado-Filho et al. 2007; De Grave 1999;”
