Biogeomorphology of the Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica seagrass meadows (2017, background): “For example, the influence of substratum surface texture and physico-chemical properties on larval and spore settlement and recruitment, and benthic community composition and structure has been recognized (e.g. Cerrano et al., 1999; Bavestrello et al., 2000; Schiaparelli et al., 2003).”
The interplay of substrate nature and biofilm formation in regulating Balanus amphitrite Darwin, 1854 larval settlement (2004, background): “Of these, glass and cembonit (representative for concrete material) are known to be widely adopted in fouling studies using experimental panels (Connell, 2000; Glasby, 2000), whilst marble and quartz have been recently considered in ecological studies exploring the influence of the mineralogical com”
Living on the rocks: substrate mineralogy and the structure of subtidal rocky substrate communities in the Mediterranean Sea (2004, background): “…of rocks on sessile benthos chiefly concerns endolithic organisms (e.g. clionid sponges and bivalves), whose boring activity is known to be widespread in substrates rich in carbonates, and to be hampered, for instance, by the presence of quartz (Bavestrello et al. 2000 and references therein).”
