• Antioxidant activities in tropical marine macroalgae from the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico (2007, background): “, terpenoids and acetogenins) that conferred a very effective antiherbivore defense system and various biological activities (Ballantine et al. 1987; Duran et al. 1997; Amsler and Fairhead 2006).”
• Experimental evidence of chemical deterrence against multiple herbivores in the seagrass Posidonia oceanica . (2007, background): “The purple sea urchin Sphaerechinus granularis Lamarck is the third most abundant urchin in the NW Mediterranean, and is typically found on deeper substrata composed of calcareous algae or coarser shell debris covered with macrophytes (Ballesteros 2006).”
• Alginate, mannitol, phenolic compounds and biological activities of two range-extending brown algae, Sargassum mangarevense and Turbinaria ornata (Phaeophyta: Fucales), from Tahiti (French Polynesia) (2008, background): “These molecules are assumed to function as chemical defenses against grazers, pathogens and epiphytes (see Amsler and Fairhead 2006 for review), and are also involved in mechanisms of photoprotection against solar radiation, especially UV radiation (Pavia et al. 1997).”
• Ultraviolet radiation shapes seaweed communities (2006, background): “defences in seaweeds may either be permanently expressed (constitutive) or induced in response to herbivory (Amsler and Fairhead 2006).”
• Seaweed-herbivore interactions at a small scale: direct tests of feeding deterrence by filamentous algae (2006, background): “…defence in marine algae have been on relatively large, robust species, in particular kelps or fucoids (Steinberg 1984, Van Alstyne et al. 2001, Amsler & Fairhead 2006) and other foliose or fleshy algae (Paul & Hay 1986, Hay et al. 1987, 1988, Ginsburg & Paul 2001, Cruz-Rivera & Hay 2003,…”
• Life strategy, ecophysiology and ecology of seaweeds in polar waters (2007, background): “The deterrent effect of VHOC on grazers is often assumed but so far has been detected only at exceptionally high and probably ecologically irrelevant concentrations (Amsler and Fairhead 2006).”
