Direct experimental evidence for alternative stable states: a review (2005, methodology): “Experimental demonstrations of positive feedbacks have also been used to argue for ASS (Barkai and McQuaid 1988, Hanski et al. 1995, Kuussaari et al. 1998, van de Koppel et al. 2001, Adema and Grootjans 2003, Konar and Estes 2003).”
Seasonal variation in movement, aggregation and destructive grazing of the green sea urchin (Strongylocentrotus droebachiensis) in relation to wave action and sea temperature (2007, background): “repulse sea urchins (Velimirov and GriYths 1979; Himmelman and Steele 1971; Himmelman 1984; Dayton 1985; Konar 2000; Konar and Estes 2003) and sea stars (Gagnon et al.”

Detection of alternative stable states in marine communities (2004, background): “For example, Konar and Estes (2003) recently examined if kelps altered urchin behavior and thus enabled kelp bed persistence in the face of sea urchins.”
Stability, resilience, and phase shifts in rocky subtidal communities along the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada (2011, background): “…to as alternate stable states (Simenstad et al. 1978) or distinct phase states (Steneck et al. 2002) due to their tendency, once achieved, to be self maintaining (Konar and Estes 2003), and because intermediate or transitional stages are apparently unstable and short lived (Estes and Duggins 1995).”
Resilience indicators: prospects and limitations for early warnings of regime shifts (2015, background): “Subsequent studies suggested a similar potential of shifting between alternative states (or ‘regimes’) also in coral reefs [4,5], kelp forests [6,7], macroalgae beds [8], fish populations [9–11], and even whole pelagic and benthic communities [12–16].”
Density-dependent sea urchin grazing: differential removal of species, changes in community composition and alternative community states (2005, background): “…of grazing sea urchins results in a switch from a foliose algaldominated to a crustose algal-dominated state (Dean et al. 1984, Ebeling et al. 1985, Fletcher 1987, Andrew 1993, Leinaas & Christie 1996, Benedetti-Cecchi et al. 1998, Shears & Babcock 2002, Konar & Estes 2003, Gagnon et al. 2004).”
Establishment of the long-spined sea urchin (Centrostephanus rodgersii) in Tasmania: first assessment of potential threats to fisheries (2005, background): “…and dense macroalgae appears to be relatively stable (Andrew 1994; Hill et al. 2003), and it seems likely that discontinuities in substratum type (Andrew 1993), and perhaps the sweeping motion of macroalage at these boundaries (Konar and Estes 2003), may contribute to maintaining this stability.”
The genus Laminaria sensu lato : recent insights and developments (2008, background): “For instance, the sweeping action of L. dentigera was of little effect due to its relatively stiff stipe (Konar & Estes, 2003).”
Strongly Interacting Species: Conservation Policy, Management, and Ethics (2005, background): “... or nutrient dynamics in or between ecosystems? For example, prairie dog colonies shape nutrient cycling, soil chemistry, soil porosity, and the productivity and nutrient content of vegetation through their burrowing and grazing activities (Whicker and Detling 1993, Kotliar et al. 1999, Miller et”
Habitat complexity and consumer‐mediated positive feedbacks on a Caribbean coral reef (2006, unknown): “stability of an algal-dominated community state (Konar and Estes 2003).”
Status and Ecological Effects of the World’s Largest Carnivores (2014, background): “Once reached, these different ecological states tend to persist (32) unless the system is pushed strongly to the other state by substantial increases or reductions in otter abundance.”
