• Consumers of sea urchins, Paracentrotus lividus and Arbacia lixula, in shallow Mediterranean rocky reefs (2004, background): “Whether or not the two species are ecologically redundant is still a matter of debate (Bulleri et al. 1999; see Boudouresque and Verlaque 2001 for a review).”
• Effects of herbivores on a Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow: importance of epiphytes (2005, background): “Under natural conditions, densities of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus in Posidonia oceanica meadows are generally low (0 to 6 ind. m–2; see review by Boudouresque & Verlaque 2001).”
• Living on the rocks: substrate mineralogy and the structure of subtidal rocky substrate communities in the Mediterranean Sea (2004, background): “In this respect, records of sublittoral sessile assemblages persisting in an early developmental phase have been frequently interpreted as a consequence of overgrazing by sea urchins (Navone et al. 1992, Balduzzi et al. 1996, Boudouresque & Verlaque 2001, Guidetti et al. 2003).”
• Settlement and recruitment of the sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus in two contrasting habitats in the Mediterranean (2004, background): “Paracentrotus lividus (Lamarck) is one of the most important invertebrate herbivores in Mediterranean waters (Boudouresque & Verlaque 2001), exerting a significant effect on algae, even at low densities (Palacín et al. 1998a), and in seagrass communities (Alcoverro et al. 1997).”
• The effect of photoperiod and temperature on the reproduction of European sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus (2004, background): “lividus (Boudouresque and Verlaque, 2001) and other echinoids (Klinger et al.”
• Seasonal and small-scale spatial variability of herbivory pressure on the temperate seagrass Posidonia oceanica (2005, background): “Since sea urchins feed on the tips of the leaves (Boudouresque & Verlaque 2001), when fish bite the plant, they can cut away the leaves and hence the mark left by sea urchins is lost.”
• Effects of dietary microalgae on growth, survival and fatty acid composition of sea urchin Paracentrotus lividus throughout larval development (2012, background): “As natural stocks are declining due to fishing pressure (Andrew et al., 2002; Boudouresque and Verlaque, 2001), mariculture has an important role to play to supply high quality seeds, juveniles and adults (Guidetti et al.”
• Effects of the edible sea urchin, Paracentrotus lividus, fishery along the Apulian rocky coast (SE Italy, Mediterranean Sea) (2004, background): “Specimens become sexually mature at a far smaller size than the commercial one (∼4 cm) (Lozano et al., 1995; Boudouresque and Verlaque, 2001), warranting the maintenance of”
