• Seasonal variation in movement, aggregation and destructive grazing of the green sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) in relation to wave action and sea temperature (2007, background): “Laboratory studies have found both positive ( Scheibling and Anthony 2001 ) and negative (Larson et al. 1980) eVects of temperature on feeding rate of S. droebachiensis, and temperature may be confounded with reproductive stage in feeding experiments (Scheibling and Hatcher 2001).”
• A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “…& Wright 2006a) Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides –, 0 Sea urchin grazing NW Atlantic (Prince & Leblanc 1992) – Sea urchin grazing, reproduction NW Atlantic (Scheibling & Anthony 2001) 0 Sea urchin growth + Sea slug metamorphosis, postlarval growth, development NE Atlantic (Trowbridge & Todd…”
• The genus Laminaria sensu lato : recent insights and developments (2008, background): “Furthermore, it is less preferred by herbivorous sea urchins than Laminaria (Scheibling & Anthony, 2001; Sumi & Scheibling, 2005).”
• Limited grazing pressure by native herbivores on the invasive seaweed Caulerpa taxifolia in a temperate Australian estuary (2006, background): “droebachiensis on a diet of native kelp (Scheibling and Anthony 2001).”
• Introduced Macroalgae – a Growing Concern (2006, background): “…grazing pressure is reduced by the decimation of the sea urchin Strongylocentrus droebachiensis from an amoebic disease, which presumably is also introduced (Harris & Tyrell, 2001; Chapman et al., 2002), and by avoidance of C. fragile ssp. tomentosoides by grazers (Scheibling & Anthony, 2001).”
• Stress tolerance of the invasive macroalgae Codium fragile and Gracilaria vermiculophylla in a soft-bottom turbid lagoon (2007, background): “The contrasting inhibition of C. fragile was surprising because (a) alien species often are successful due to grazer escape (Boudouresque and Verlaque 2002; Myers and Bazely 2003), (b) C. fragile is considered a poor food for generalist herbivores (Trowbridge 1998; Scheibling and Anthony 2001 ), (c”
• Impacts of introduced seaweeds (2007, background): “Sea urchins (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) prefer kelp as a food source, only consume C. fragile ssp. tomentosoides when no other seaweeds are available (Sumi and Scheibling 2005) and have impaired gonad development on a diet of only this species (Scheibling and Anthony 2001).”
• Competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides and native canopy-forming seaweeds in Nova Scotia (Canada) (2006, background): “Biotic interactions between native and introduced species are often inferred from correlational evidence (e.g. Lambert et al. 1992, Grosholz & Ruiz 1996, Chapman 1999, Scheibling & Anthony 2001).”
