• Allochthonous brown algae are the primary food source for consumers in a temperate, coastal environment (2009, background): “Like many other parts of the world (Colombini & Chelazzi 2003), allochthonous wrack accumulates in large quantities in the surf zones along the shores of southwestern Australia, where it is an important food source for abundant grazers, particularly amphipods and isopods.”
• Differential effects of native and invasive algal wrack on macrofaunal assemblages inhabiting exposed sandy beaches (2008, background): “The importance of beach accumulations of wrack on the ecology of sandy beaches has been previously documented in the literature (see Colombini and Chelazzi, 2003 and references therein).”
• Production and fate of kelp detritus (2012, unknown): “Beaches can act as sources or sinks of nitrogen depending on the rate of erosion of beach sediments (Colombini & Chelazzi 2003, Dugan et al. 2011).”
• The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. I: The floating substrata (2004, background): “The fate of beach-cast material has been extensively reviewed by Colombini & Chelazzi (2003).”
• Processing of allochthonous macrophyte subsidies by sandy beach consumers: estimates of feeding rates and impacts on food resources (2008, background): “These systems are generally characterized by low in situ primary productivity (McLachlan and Brown 2006) and beach food webs are subsidized by allochthonous inputs from the coastal ocean (GriYths et al. 1983; Dugan et al. 2003; reviewed by Colombini and Chelazzi 2003).”
• Identification and chemical studies of pelagic masses of Sargassum natans (Linnaeus) Gaillon and S. fluitans (Borgessen) Borgesen (brown algae), found offshore in Ondo State, Nigeria (2014, background): “In the process, the sea currents and winds carry the Sargassum fragments along, eventually sweeping it into West African coastal regions of countries like Nigeria and Gabon (Colombini and Chelazzi, 2003).”
• Multiple scavengers respond rapidly to pulsed carrion resources at the land–ocean interface (2013, background): “From an ecosystem perspective, marine organic matter deposited on beaches constitutes a critical dietary input for beach consumers (Colombini and Chelazzi 2003).”
• Ecology of freshwater shore zones (2010, background): “Inputs of animal carrion may also be significant ([100 g dry mass/m-year; Colombini and Chelazzi 2003).”
