• Global regime shift dynamics of catastrophic sea urchin overgrazing (2015, unknown): “[4,48–51]”
• 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): “during this period (Scheibling et al. 1999; Gagnon et al. 2004).”
• Sea urchin barrens as alternative stable states of collapsed kelp ecosystems (2014, unknown): “Sea urchin exclusion experiments in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, Canada, found that kelp recruitment was 100 times higher on barrens without urchins than on barrens with urchins (Gagnon et al. 2004).”
• Global patterns of kelp forest change over the past half-century (2016, background): “In some cases, global assessments have highlighted complex patterns of change (4, 5), which often reflect variable trajectories among regions (4).”
• Density-dependent sea urchin grazing: differential removal of species, changes in community composition and alternative community states (2005, background): “…of grazing sea urchins results in a switch from a foliose algaldominated to a crustose algal-dominated state (Dean et al. 1984, Ebeling et al. 1985, Fletcher 1987, Andrew 1993, Leinaas & Christie 1996, Benedetti-Cecchi et al. 1998, Shears & Babcock 2002, Konar & Estes 2003, Gagnon et al. 2004).”
• Competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides and native canopy-forming seaweeds in Nova Scotia (Canada) (2006, background): “…southern and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence), or biotic resistance of northern subtidal communities, which differ somewhat in structure and organization from communities in more southern regions, like Nova Scotia (Scheibling et al. 1999, Chapman et al. 2002, Gagnon et al. 2004, Gagnon et al. 2005).”
• Temperature-mediated outbreak dynamics of the invasive bryozoan Membranipora membranacea in Nova Scotian kelp beds (2009, background): “The destructive potential of Membranipora membranacea adds to that of sea urchin fronts that intensively graze kelp beds at rates of up to 4 m mo–1 (Scheibling et al. 1999, Gagnon et al. 2004, LauzonGuay & Scheibling 2007).”
