Recovery of canopy-forming macroalgae following removal of the enigmatic grazing sea urchin Heliocidaris erythrogramma (2010, background): “…on canopy-forming seaweeds (Phaeophyta) within the normal range of sea urchin densities locally observed on rocky reefs throughout the majority of its range, i.e. b1 to ~10 individuals m−2 (see Vanderklift, 2002; Vanderklift and Kendrick, 2004; Keesing, 2006; Connell and Irving, 2008).”
Satellite-derived SST data as a proxy for water temperature in nearshore benthic ecology (2009, background): “…benthic assemblages at these locations, such as nutrient levels (Pearce 1991, Lourey et al. 2006), light (Staehr & Wernberg 2009), grazing pressure (Vanderklift & Kendrick 2004, Wernberg et al. 2008), discrete thermal events (present study), the availability of hard substrata and exposure to…”
Assembly and maintenance of subtidal habitat heterogeneity: synergistic effects of light penetration and sedimentation (2005, background): “These algae are most extensive in the absence of canopyforming algae (Irving et al. 2004a) on coasts with few benthic grazers (Western and South Australia, FowlerWalker & Connell 2002, Vanderklift & Kendrick 2004).”
