• Deterioration of Sediment Quality in Seagrass Meadows (Posidonia oceanica) Invaded by Macroalgae (Caulerpa sp.) (2009, background): “AlthoughCaulerpa sp. is considered a threat to Posidonia oceanica ( Ceccherelli et al. 2000 ), there are only few direct manipulative studies of interactions between Caulerpa species and P. oceanica and these show mixed results.”
• Seasonal changes of the introduced Caulerpa racemosa var. cylindracea (Caulerpales, Chlorophyta) at the northwest limit of its Mediterranean range (2005, background): “…with a maximum of development from summer to autumn, a drastic regression in winter and a renewal of the growth in spring, well agrees with the previous studies (Piazzi et al., 1997b, 1999, 2001b; Serio and Pizzuto, 1999; Piazzi and Cinelli, 1999; Buia et al., 2001; Ceccherelli et al., 2000, 2001).”
• The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “Experiments show that alien species tend to invade disturbed habitats more easily than undisturbed ones (Ceccherelli et al., 2000; Valentine and Johnson, 2003; Scheibling and Gagnon, 2006; Britton-Simmons, 2006).”
• Concise review of the genus Caulerpa J.V. Lamouroux (2019, background): “Presence of other neighboring macrophytes, such as the seagrass Posidonia oceanica, also influence the production of these allelochemicals which suggests that their production can be regulated and even enhance competitive capabilities (Lemee et al. 1997; Ceccherelli et al. 2000; Raniello et al. 2006”
• Phytotoxic activity of caulerpenyne from the Mediterranean invasive variety of Caulerpa racemosa: a potential allelochemical (2007, background): “a high acclimative capacity when growing under dense canopies of Cymodocea nodosa (Ucria) Ascherson (Raniello et al. 2004), the presence of the alga was reported by Ceccherelli et al. (2000) and Ceccherelli and Campo (2002) to induce a stress in the physiology of C. nodosa, as well as in another s”
• A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “Of the seagrasses studied in the Mediterranean, only continuous or dense patches of Posidonia oceanica, one of the largest and longest-lived seagrass species, can effectively resist introduced Caulerpa spp. (Ceccherelli & Campo 2002, Ceccherelli & Cinelli 1999a, Ceccherelli et al. 2000).”
• Alien Marine Species in the Mediterranean - the 100 'Worst Invasives' and their Impact (2006, unknown): “…for colonization, no colonization has been observed on dense meadows in many other Mediterranean regions; dense P. oceanica meadows seem to prevent C. race-mosa var . cylindracea invasion (PIAZZI & CINELLI, 1999, 2003; CECCHERELLI et al., 2000; PIAZZI et al., 2001a , 2005; RUIT-TON et al., 2005).”
• Competitive interactions between the invasive green alga Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides and native canopy-forming seaweeds in Nova Scotia (Canada) (2006, background): “In the Mediterranean Sea, total cover and species richness of native vegetation were greater after 1 yr in plots where the invasive green alga Caulerpa racemosa was removed than in unmanipulated plots (Piazzi & Ceccherelli 2006).”
• Dispersal of Caulerpa racemosa Fragments in the Mediterranean: Lack of Detachment Time Effect on Establishment (2001, background): “…racemosa in the Mediterranean Sea colonises a wide range of subtidal habi- tat types (hard and soft bottoms) where turfs, erect algae (Piazzi personal observations) and seagrasses are present (Ceccherelli et al. 1999) exhibiting high dominance in established meadows (Piazzi and Cinelli 1999).”
