• Differential effects of native and invasive algal wrack on macrofaunal assemblages inhabiting exposed sandy beaches (2008, background): “It is clear that algal wrack indeed promotes an increase in population abundances of sandy beach macrofauna, either because it provides their main source of food or refuge from environmental conditions and/or due to predation (e.g. Inglis, 1989; Colombini et al., 2000).”
• Effects of Shoreline Modifications on Supratidal Macroinvertebrate Fauna on Puget Sound, Washington Beaches (2010, background): “…possibly due to their low abundance, these amphipods are mobile scavengers and are known to be especially dependent on wrack, which provides habitat (moisture and shelter) and food for them and other invertebrates (Bousfield 1981; Koch 1989; Pank 1997; Colombini et al. 2000; Jedrzejczak 2002).”
• The humboldt current system of northern and central chile : Oceanographic processes, ecological interactions and socioeconomic feedback (2007, background): “The transfer of large amounts of algal fragments from subtidal kelp forests toward the shore has been considered as a principal food source, structuring and maintaining macrofauna communities on sandy beaches (Colombini et al. 2000, Dugan et al. 2003).”
• Biological impacts of oil pollution and cleaning in the intertidal zone of exposed sandy beaches: Preliminary study of the “Prestige” oil spill (2005, background): “As far as macrofauna is concerned, the amphipods (family: Talitridae) are the first colonizers of algal wrack, being the most abundant and with the highest rates of consumption: from 71% to 95% of the biomass of algae (Griffiths and StentonDozey, 1981; Behbehani and Croker, 1982; Marsden, 1991a; Col”
