Climate‐related, decadal‐scale assemblage changes of seagrass‐associated fishes in the northern Gulf of Mexico (2010, background): “This change could impact the foraging rates of larger predators that feed upon relatively small fishes due to sampling effects or the development of search images (Duffy, 2006).”
A review of seagrass economic valuations: Gaps and progress in valuation approaches (2016, unknown): “Seagrasses provide many ecosystem services (Fonseca et al., 2002; Emmett Duffy, 2006).”
Accelerating loss of seagrasses across the globe threatens coastal ecosystems (2009, background): “Seagrasses and the services they provide are threatened by the immediate impacts of coastal development and growing human populations as well as by the impacts of climate change and ecological degradation (11, 13).”
Effects of seagrasses and algae of the Caulerpa family on hydrodynamics and particle-trapping rates (2010, background): “Seagrass beds are highly productive coastal ecosystems (Bay 1984), providing physical structures that enhance community diversity, biomass and primary and secondary production (Duarte and Chiscano 1999; Duffy 2006 ) and play a key role in carbon burial (Duarte et al. 2005).”
The Gray Zone: Relationships between habitat loss and marine diversity and their applications in conservation (2008, background): “Seagrass meadows, saltmarshes, kelp forests and other vegetated habitats and their resident organisms are known to be highly productive compared to structurally simpler habitats such as sandy habitats (Ferrell and Bell, 1991; Duffy, 2006; Hosack et al., 2006).”
Change in tropical rocky shore communities due to an alien coral invasion (2011, background): “In southeast Brazil rocky shore communities are common al - though relatively little is known about the structure and function of tropical rocky shores in the southwest Atlantic Ocean (see Eston et al. 1986, Oigman-Pszczol et al. 2004, Ghilardi et al. 2008).”
Facilitation and the niche: implications for coexistence, range shifts and ecosystem functioning (2016, background): “…(sensu Dayton 1972) such as plant density, height and chemical composition often alter the interactions between associated species at different trophic levels, each of which use the foundation species as habitat (seagrass, Duffy 2006; cottonwoods, Whitham et al. 2006; kelps, Steneck et al. 2002).”
Submersed Aquatic Vegetation in Chesapeake Bay: Sentinel Species in a Changing World (2017, background): “Overfishing removes large predators, releasing smaller predators to consume more invertebrates, indirectly facilitating the overgrowth of eelgrass by epiphytic algae (figure 1f; Duffy 2006).”
Importance of genetic diversity in eelgrass Zostera marina for its resilience to global warming (2008, background): “…system (Williams 2001, Hughes & Stachowicz 2004, Reusch et al. 2005, Ransbotyn & Reusch 2006), Z. marina is a suitable organism to test for the importance of genotypic diversity, and is expected to continue to be used in future research (Duffy 2006, Reusch & Hughes 2006, Procaccini et al. 2007).”
Contribution of genetics and genomics to seagrass biology and conservation (2007, background): “As discussed in the previous section, genetic and clonal diversity create more resilient and disturbance-tolerant seagrass communities including higher diversity of associated fauna and flora leading to greater “function” (Duffy, 2006; Reusch and Hughes, 2006).”
