Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…2003). herbivorous fishes, for example, are considered to be important in facilitating recovery of coral communities following extensive mortality (Mumby et al. 2006, hughes et al. 2007) and preventing phase shifts to highly undesirable algal-dominated habitats (hughes et al. 2003, bellwood et…”
Remote video bioassays reveal the potential feeding impact of the rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus (f: Siganidae) on an inner-shelf reef of the Great Barrier Reef (2008, methodology): “herbivores through over-fishing, particularly in the Caribbean, and the subsequent degradation of those reefs has highlighted the importance of the role that the group plays in determining benthic community succession and maintaining a healthy balance between corals and macroalgae (Hughes 1994; McCl”
Phase shifts and the stability of macroalgal communities on Caribbean coral reefs (2009, methodology): “Minimum values of grazing (5% 6 month-1) were estimated using a second, instantaneous model of grazing behaviour parameterised for the size distribution of parrotfishes from a heavily fished site in Jamaica (Mumby et al. 2006).”
Bioerosion: the other ocean acidification problem: Towards a Broader Perspective on Ocean Acidification Research Part 2 A special issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science (2017, background): “In addition, many grazers not only control turf biomass and various euendoliths, but are also thought to regulate macroalgal abundances, thus indirectly reinforcing coral cover (e.g. Sammarco, 1982; Mumby et al., 2006a; Mumby and Harborne, 2010; but see Clements et al., 2016).”
Extinction of a shark population in the Archipelago of Saint Paul's Rocks (equatorial Atlantic) inferred from the historical record (2011, background): “Depletion of top-predators and large herbivores by intensive fishing has altered the structure and function of marine systems (Bascompte et al., 2005; Mumby et al., 2006; Myers et al., 2007).”
Experiment mimics fishing on parrotfish: insights on coral reef recovery and alternative attractors (2014, background): “We excluded large fish because they are frequently most vulnerable to fishing pressure on coral reefs (Hawkins & Roberts 2004), and large herbi vores may play a disproportionately large functional role in coral reef ecosystems (Mumby et al. 2006).”
Chronic parrotfish grazing impedes coral recovery after bleaching (2006, background): “…much recent attention given to the role of parrotfish in coral reef resilience: although increased parrotfish abundance in marine protected areas indirectly benefits corals by decreasing macroalgal cover (Mumby et al. 2006), this study shows that parrotfish grazing may play a more complex role.”
Herbivory versus corallivory: are parrotfish good or bad for Caribbean coral reefs? (2009, background): “…experimental and observational studies have found that parrotfish grazing can exert strong top–down impacts on the cover of macroalgae on reefs (Hay 1981; Carpenter 1986; Lewis 1986; Steneck 1997; Williams and Polunin 2000; Williams et al. 2001; Mumby et al. 2006; Burkepile and Hay 2008).”
Phase shifts and the role of herbivory in the resilience of coral reefs (2007, background): “Several studies have highlighted the fact that grazing by herbivorous fishes influences competitive interactions between corals and macroalgae (Lirman 2001; Williams and Polunin 2001; Mumby et al. 2006a; Paddack et al. 2006) and Mumby et al. (2006b) demonstrated that MPAs can enhance grazing and r”
Herbivore cross‐scale redundancy supports response diversity and promotes coral reef resilience (2016, background): “Herbivorous fishes mediate competition between corals and macroalgae and are thus expected to affect the response of reefs to disturbance (Mumby et al. 2006), generating an extensive literature examining functional diversity and functional impact within these species (e.g. Bellwood et al. 2004;…”
Connectivity, sustainability, and yield: bridging the gap between conventional fisheries management and marine protected areas (2009, background): “Alternatively, diverse prey guilds may weaken cascading effects, as for the case of Nassau grouper predation and parrotfish grazing reported in Mumby et al. (2006). To date, we have relatively little ability to predict cumulative community effects of reserves.”
