Temperature-mediated outbreak dynamics of the invasive bryozoan Membranipora membranacea in Nova Scotian kelp beds (2009, background): “…of kelp production enters food webs as drift algae that is consumed by detritivores (e.g. urchins in barrens) or particulate organic matter that is degraded by microbes and consumed by deposit- and suspension-feeding invertebrates (Duggins et al. 1989, Norderhaug et al. 2003, Page et al. 2008).”
Production and fate of kelp detritus (2012, unknown): “Assimilation efficiency, survival, and growth of several species of polychaetes, mussels, scallops, and amphi - pods are reduced when fed a single diet of fresh kelp, but are enhanced when fed aged kelp particles (Cranford & Grant 1990, Duggins & Eckman 1997, Norderhaug et al. 2003).”
The genus Laminaria sensu lato : recent insights and developments (2008, background): “…may be grazed by protozoans (Linley et al., 1981; Newell & Lucas, 1981; Rogerson, 1991) and meiofauna (Rieper-Kirchner, 1990), before they enter higher trophic levels such as crustaceans and gastropods (Norderhaug et al., 2003) and finally fish and birds (Duggins et al., 1989; Fredriksen, 2003).”
Hurricane-mediated defoliation of kelp beds and pulsed delivery of kelp detritus to offshore sedimentary habitats (2012, background): “…and reproduction (Scheibling & Hatcher 2007), and the nutritional value of detrital kelp is enhanced through nitrogen enrichment during micro bial decomposition (Norderhaug et al. 2003, Sauchyn & Scheibling 2009b) and the accumulation of a diverse epifaunal assemblage (Krumhansl & Scheibling 2012).”
Macrophytes as habitat for fauna (2009, methodology): “This is shown by Norderhaug et al. (2003) for POM, where common kelp faunal species did not survive or grow when fed fresh kelp, but only when fed kelp degraded (or enriched) by microorganisms.”
fish–macrofauna interactions in a kelp (laminaria hyperborea) forest (2005, background): “Most of the large annual kelp production is not grazed but is released as detritus and much of it is expected to be consumed by the kelp-associated fauna after bacterial degradation (Norderhaug et al., 2003).”
Ambiguous role of phlorotannins as chemical defenses in the brown alga Fucus vesiculosus (2004, methodology): “Steinberg et al. (1995) and Pavia & Toth (2000) apparently used similar procedures.”
The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “…kelps do not directly feed on fresh kelp material, 579 due in part to their high C:N ratios (Norderhaug et al., 2003; Schaal et al., 2010) and the presence of 580 anti-herbivory compounds in their tissues (Bustamante and Branch, 1996; Duggins and Eckman, 581 1997; Norderhaug et al., 2003).”
Sea urchin grazing and kelp re-vegetation in the NE Atlantic (2009, background): “Fresh kelp is not the preferred food source of most grazers (see Christie & Rueness 1998; Norderhaug et al. 2003), but many species obtain their food from kelpproduced carbon (Fredriksen 2003), and the majority of the fauna feed on particulate organic matter from kelp enriched by microorganisms…”
