Seaweed defence against bacteria: a poly-brominated 2-heptanone from the red alga Bonnemaisonia hamifera inhibits bacterial colonisation (2008, background): “Its members are very rich in secondary metabolites (McConnell & Fenical 1979, Kladi et al. 2004), several of which have been shown to have ecological roles as defence metabolites (Steinberg et al. 2001, Williamson et al. 2004, Wright et al. 2004, Paul et al. 2006a,b).”
Total lipid and fatty acid composition of seaweeds for the selection of species for oil‐based biofuel and bioproducts (2012, background): “Relatively little information is available for the heritability of seaweed natural products (see Wright et al., 2004).”
Seaweed-herbivore interactions at a small scale: direct tests of feeding deterrence by filamentous algae (2006, background): “…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, Wright et al. 2004).”
Density-dependent sea urchin grazing: differential removal of species, changes in community composition and alternative community states (2005, background): “In no-choice experiments, D. pulchra was consumed at a low rate compared to C. officinalis and at a similar rate compared to Z. diesingiana and Sargassum vestitum (Wright et al. 2004).”
Variation in the morphology, reproduction and development of the habitat-forming kelp Ecklonia radiata with changing temperature and nutrients (2013, methodology): “To liberate zoospores, sori were placed into a cool, dry and dark place for approximately 1 h and then briefly sterilised in an antiseptic solution (1 ml Betadine l−1 distilled water) for ~1 min so as not to harm the spores whilst reducing contamination by associated epiflora (Wright et al. 2004).”
