Eutrophication in shallow coastal bays and lagoons: the role of plants in the coastal filter (2007, background): “Likewise, macroalgal responses to eutrophication, and the shading impact of macroalgal blooms on seagrasses, may be mediated by grazing (Worm et al. 2000, Hauxwell et al. 2001).”
The C:N:P stoichiometry of organisms and ecosystems in a changing world: A review and perspectives (2012, background): “Grazers can buffer moderate eutrophication by selectively consuming algae species that have low C:N ratios (Worm et al., 2000).”
Effects of filamentous algae and deposited matter on the survival of Fucus vesiculosus L. germlings in the Baltic Sea (2004, background): “The most important factor is considered to be eutrophication, in other words increased turbidity and decreased light levels (Kautsky et al. 1986; Vogt and Schramm 1991; Eriksson et al. 1998), increased sedimentation (Schramm 1996) and increased abundance of filamentous algae (Kangas et al. 1982; Wo”
NUTRIENT ENHANCEMENT INCREASES PERFORMANCE OF A MARINE HERBIVORE VIA QUALITY OF ITS FOOD ALGA (2002, background): “Recent studies on the regulation of marine algal assemblages have found that mesograzers may strongly modify the benthic community structure by selective grazing and by suppressing macroalgal blooms (Duffy and Hay 2000, Lotze et al. 2000, Worm et al. 2000).”
Eutrophication-induced changes in benthic algae affect the behaviour and fitness of the marine amphipod Gammarus locusta (2006, background): “Several authors have focussed instead on top-down processes, by recognising the possible role of grazers in buffering the primary effects of eutrophication (Geertz-Hansen et al., 1993; Hillebrand et al., 2000;Worm et al., 2000; Balducci et al., 2001), but see also Russell and Connell (2005) for cont”
Biomass, diversity and production of rocky shore macroalgae at two nutrient enrichment and wave action levels (2010, background): “Primary consumers may also have a positive effect on algal diversity, since selective grazing on algal propagules may prevent mass occurrence of algae (Worm et al. 2000).”
Complex interactions of climatic and ecological controls on macroalgal recruitment (2002, background): “…our experimental results indicate that restrictions on nutrient loading in com- bination with an abundant and diverse herbivore guild might be the best insurance to prevent destructive macroalgal blooms in coastal ecosystems (Valiela et al. 1997; Raffaelli et al. 1998; Worm et al. 1999, 2000).”
Integrating ecology with biogeography using landscape characteristics: a case study of subtidal habitat across continental Australia (2008, background): “consume additional production), is an area of increasing study (Worm et al., 2000; Worm & Lotze, 2006).”
Strong bottom‐up and top‐down control of early life stages of macroalgae (2001, background): “Increasing nutrient availability often favors fast-growing annual algae over perennial vegetation with consequences for community structure, diversity, and functioning (Duarte 1995; Valiela et al. 1997; Worm et al. 1999, 2000a).”
Expansive covers of turf-forming algae on human-dominated coast: the relative effects of increasing nutrient and sediment loads (2004, background): “33–71 times less than at comparable parts of the temperate world [Western Baltic ( Worm et al. 2000a ), Sweden (Hillebrand 2003) and the North Western United States of America (Pfister and Van Alystyne 2003)].”
META-ANALYSIS OF COD-SHRIMP INTERACTIONS REVEALS TOP-DOWN CONTROL IN OCEANIC FOOD WEBS (2003, background): “…have shown that variations in predator populations often have cascading effects across the food web, with implications for community structure and ecosystem functioning (Carpenter et al. 1985, Mazumder et al. 1990, Power 1990, Estes et al. 1998, Worm et al. 2000, 2002, Jackson et al. 2001).”
Competition for the fish – fish extraction from the Baltic Sea by humans, aquatic mammals, and birds (2018, unknown): “…birds are often excluded from quantitative food web studies, including several of those published on the Baltic Sea (e.g. Elmgren, 1984; Ulanowicz and Wulff, 1991; Sandberg et al., 2000; Worm et al., 2000; Harvey et al., 2003; Håkanson and Gyllenhammar, 2005; Sandberg, 2007; Tomczak et al., 2012).”
