• Spatial variation in sea urchins, fish predators, and bioerosion rates on coral reefs of Belize (2007, background): “urchins, McClanahan 1995, 2000 ), as well as Scaridae (potential competitors of urchins, McClanahan 1992, 1994).”
• Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…is a major predator on bioeroding sea urchins and is hypothesised, therefore, to have indirect positive effects on coral recruitment and cover (Mcclanahan 1995, 2000). in some cases, these key species may be deserving of special protection at a global scale (e.g., worldwide bans on…”
• Maintenance of fish diversity on disturbed coral reefs (2009, background): “Teleost fishes are an important component of coral reef ecosystems, fulfilling many critical ecological roles (McClanahan 2000; Bellwood et al. 2004; Dulvy et al. 2004), and are a major source of food and livelihood for people in tropical coastal areas (Pauly et al.”
• Keystone species: toward an operational concept for marine biodiversity conservation (2015, unknown): “In practice, analyzing functional roles in species assemblages is determinant to setting conservation priorities and defining restoration programs (McClanahan 2000, Clemente et al. 2010).”
• MARINE RESERVES: RATES AND PATTERNS OF RECOVERY AND DECLINE OF PREDATORY FISH, 1983–2000 (2003, background): “…monitoring of abundance of target species inside and outside marine reserves means that we still know remarkably little about the rates and patterns of increase of abundance of target species following application of reserve status (Russ and Alcala 1996a, 1998, McClanahan 2000, Jennings 2001).”
• Recovery trajectories of coral reef fish assemblages within Kenyan marine protected areas (2005, background): “This finding is similar to the only other moderate-term studies of fish recovery in coral reefs (McClanahan 2000, Russ & Alcala 2004).”
