• Seagrass and epiphytic algae support nutrition of a fisheries species, Sillago schomburgkii, in adjacent intertidal habitats (2005, unknown): “Stable isotope studies have shown that fisheries species can rely on seagrass or their epiphytic algae as their ultimate source of nutrition (e.g Lepoint et al. 2000, Moncreiff & Sullivan 2001, Vizzini et al. 2002).”
• ANTHROPOGENIC ENRICHMENT ALTERS A MARINE BENTHIC FOOD WEB (2005, background): “…the autochthonous food base and loss of consumer diversity Previous studies of Caribbean seagrass communities have emphasized the importance of the detrital-seagrass pathway as an energy source for higher trophic levels (Vadas et al. 1982, Stoner et al. 1995, Pomeroy 2001, Vizzini et al. 2002).”
• Stable isotope and fatty acid evidence for uptake of organic waste by green-lipped mussels Perna viridis in a polyculture fish farm system (2006, background): “There has been increasing application of stable isotopes as tracers to follow the flux of organic matter or pollutants along food chains or food webs in both terrestrial and aquatic environments (e.g. Fry 1988, Yamamuro 1999, Bearhop et al. 2000, Collier et al. 2002, Vizzini et al. 2002).”
• Does transported seagrass provide an important trophic link in unvegetated, nearshore areas? (2005, background): “Similarly, Posidonia oceanica, appears to enter the food web as detritus (Vizzini et al., 2002), while detrital Halodule uninervis and Halophila ovalis is considered to contribute considerably to prawn production in a north-eastern Australian estuary (Loneragan et al.”
• The necromass of the Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadow: fate, role, ecosystem services and vulnerability (2016, background): “…1813), mainly a diatom-feeder and gastropods, such as Gibbula umbilicaris (Lin- naeus, 1758), are present (e.g. Nédélec & Verlaque, 1984; Velimirov, 1984a; Gambi et al., 1992; Lepoint et al., 2000; Vizzini et al., 2002; Tomas et al., 2005; Gacia et al., 2009; Boudouresque & Verlaque, 2013).”
