• The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “It has 320 been shown that macrofaunal density on epiphytic red algae is higher on structurally complex 321 species (e.g. Rhodomela spp. and Ptilota gunneri) than those with simple, smooth surfaces (e.g. 322 Palmaria palmata; Christie et al., 2009; also see Schmidt and Scheibling, 2006).”
• Temperature-mediated outbreak dynamics of the invasive bryozoan Membranipora membranacea in Nova Scotian kelp beds (2009, background): “Schmidt & Scheibling (2006, 2007) documented changes in the abundance of mobile macrofauna, epibiota, and turf algae associated with experimental reduction in canopy cover, and a shift from kelp to C. fragile dominance.”
• A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “…richness SW Pacific (York et al. 2006) 0 Fish abundance Fish community structure Codium fragile ssp. tomentosoides – Epifauna diversity, density NW Atlantic (Schmidt & Scheibling 2006) + Epiflora density Fucus evanescens – Epiflora biomass NE Atlantic (Schueller & Peters 1994) – Epiphyte…”
• Effects of habitat structure and tidal height on epifaunal assemblages associated with macroalgae (2010, background): “This argument would not be in agreement with most previous studies that indicated morphological complexity as a key factor structuring associated benthic assemblages (e.g. Schreider et al., 2003; Wernberg et al., 2004; Schmidt and Scheibling, 2006).”
