Urban marine ecology in southern California: the ability of riprap structures to serve as rocky intertidal habitat (2009, background): “ Bulleri and Chapman 2004 Livorno, Italy Intertidal riprap breakwater Not tested Mixed, 3 of 9”
The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. III. Biogeographical and evolutionary consequences (2006, background): “For example, harbour basins often represent zones of reduced current velocities (Bulleri & Chapman 2004), where floating items might linger for longer time periods increasing the probability of successful disembarkation of associated rafters.”
Conservation challenges in urban seascapes: promoting the growth of threatened species on coastal infrastructures (2012, background): “Journal of Applied Ecology © 2012 British Ecological Society It is known that coastal infrastructures do not function as surrogates to natural habitats (Bulleri & Chapman 2004; Jackson, Chapman & Underwood 2008).”
Anthropogenic structures and the infiltration of natural benthos by invasive ascidians (2012, background): “These anthropogenic habitats, such as floating docks, pier pilings, breakwaters, and seawalls, provide novel substrata known to harbor marine communities that differ from surrounding natural substrata (Bulter & Connolly 1996; Glasby 1999a; Connell 2000; Chapman 2003; Bulleri & Chapman 2004).”
Seawalls do not sustain viable populations of limpets (2006, background): “…for rocky shores (Thompson et al. 2002), recent studies have shown important differences between intertidal seawalls and natural rocky shores in terms of composition of biological assemblages and relative abundance of common species (Chapman 2003, Chapman & Bulleri 2003, Bulleri & Chapman 2004).”
The importance of water‐retaining features for biodiversity on artificial intertidal coastal defence structures (2013, background): “…structures such as seawalls, jetties, breakwaters, groynes and dykes are being built at the expense of natural habitats, which can markedly affect the structure and functioning of marine ecosystems (Connell & Glasby, 1999; Bulleri & Chapman, 2004; Airoldi et al. , 2005; Chapman & Underwood, 2011).”
