• The Antarctic-Magellan connection: Macrobenthos ecology on the shelf and upper slope, a progress report (2005, background): “) and fauna rafted on algae or debris (Helmuth et al., 1994; Barnes, 2002; Thiel and Gutow, 2004; Barnes, 2005) is more likely than the reverse, or than cross-transport in this area.”
• The Ecology of Rafting in the Marine Environment. II. The Rafting Organisms and Community (2005, background): “Occurrence of floating substrata may be highly variable, and periods with only a few items floating at the sea surface may alternate with periods when dense armadas of items are underway (see Thiel & Gutow 2004).”
• Young sea turtles of the pelagic Sargassum-dominated drift community: habitat use, population density, and threats (2012, background): “These convergence zones commonly accumulate drifting neustonic organisms and are characterized by lines of floating material with occasionally elevated surface chlorophyll (Thiel & Gutow 2005a,b).”
• Microplastics in freshwater systems: A review on occurrence, environmental effects, and methods for microplastics detection. (2017, background): “Microorganisms can quickly colonize the surface of microplastics and be transported with the movement of microplastics, as plastics are usually durable and persistent than other media (Thiel and Gutow, 2005).”
• Driven by the West Wind Drift? A synthesis of southern temperate marine biogeography, with new directions for dispersalism (2008, background): “Although ecological evidence for the importance of D. antarctica rafting seems compelling (Thiel & Gutow, 2005a,b; Thiel & Haye, 2006), genetic data are lacking.”
• GLOBAL ECOLOGY OF THE GIANT KELP MACROCYSTIS : FROM ECOTYPES TO ECOSYSTEMS (2007, background): “Holdfast, mid-water fronds and canopies can retain epifaunal fishes and mobile and sessile invertebrates even when drifting sporophytes travel long distances (Edgar 1987, Vásquez 1993, Helmuth et al. 1994, Hobday 2000a,b,c, Smith 2002, Macaya et al. 2005, Thiel & Gutow 2005a,b).”
• Factors controlling the seasonal distribution of pelagic Sargassum (2018, background): “As pelagic Sargassum and related species break, new growth is primarily initiated from the residual fragments at apical meristems (Tsukidate 1984, Hanisak & Samuel 1987).”
• Ecology of freshwater shore zones (2010, background): “The availability of logs, wrack, ice, and plastic may affect dispersal as well, because these floatable platforms may be important in dispersing terrestrial organisms (Hill et al. 1998; Gurnell et al. 2005; Salovius et al. 2005; Thiel and Gutow 2005).”
• Marine litter as habitat and dispersal vector (2015, background): “Previous studies have reported over 1200 taxa that are associated with natural and anthropogenic flotsam (Thiel and Gutow 2005a) and the extreme localities that rafting organisms can reach when transported over large distances by currents and wind (Barnes and Fraser 2003; Barnes and Milner 2005).”
• Circumpolar dispersal by rafting in two subantarctic kelp-dwelling crustaceans (2010, background): “Although alternative possible mechanisms exist, e.g. rafting on other substrates (reviewed by Thiel & Gutow 2005) and anthropogenic introductions, they are relatively unlikely.”
