• Stress tolerance of the invasive macroalgae Codium fragile and Gracilaria vermiculophylla in a soft-bottom turbid lagoon (2007, background): “vermiculophylla into its surface protruding tube-caps and thereby provides spatial fixation and reduced tidal flushing in softsediment systems (Thomsen 2004b; Thomsen and McGlathery 2005).”
• Impacts of an abundant introduced ecosystem engineer within mudflats of the southeastern US coast (2012, unknown): “Its success is apparently facilitated in some locations by native tube worms (genus Diopatra; family Onuphidae) which attach the seaweed to hardened tubes (Thomsen and McGlathery 2005; Berke 2012) and allow Gracilaria to maintain high intertidal abundance on mudflats without hard substrata (Fig.”
• Sediment destabilizing and stabilizing bio-engineers on tidal flats: cascading effects of experimental exclusion (2009, background): “On dynamic intertidal sands, where substrate for algal attachment is scarce, polychaete tube caps may signiWcantly facilitate algal growth by providing anchorage (Woodin 1977; Thomsen and McGlathery 2005).”
• GRACILARIA VERMICULOPHYLLA (RHODOPHYTA, GRACILARIALES) IN HOG ISLAND BAY, VIRGINIA: A CRYPTIC ALIEN AND INVASIVE MACROALGA AND TAXONOMIC CORRECTION 1 (2006, methodology): “This taxonomy has been used in several recent studies from Hog Island Bay, Virginia (Thomsen 2004a, b, Thomsen and McGlathery 2005).”
• Effects of accumulations of sediments and drift algae on recruitment of sessile organisms associated with oyster reefs (2006, background): “The key taxa were selected as the 6 most abundant recruiters in unstressed plots and included the oyster, Crassostrea virginica (Gmelin), the alien algae Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides (van Goor) Silva and Gracilaria vermiculophylla (Ohmi) Papenfuss, and the algae Agardhiella subulata (C. Agardh)”
