• Effects of terrestrial runoff on the ecology of corals and coral reefs: review and synthesis. (2005, background): “High standing biomass of fleshy, silt-trapping macroalgae has been reported around many point nutrient sources (Table 1), such as Kaneohe Bay (Smith et al., 1981), Brazil (Costa Jr et al., 2000) or the Bahamas (Lapointe et al., 2004).”
• Effects of herbivores, nutrient enrichment, and their interactions on macroalgal proliferation and coral growth (2009, background): “Despite the evidence, the relative importance of herbivore removal versus anthropogenic nutrient pollution in advantaging seaweeds over corals continues to be debated (e.g., Hughes et al. 1999; Szmant 2002; Lapointe et al. 2004; Littler et al. 2006a; Heck and Valentine 2007).”
• Harmful algal blooms and eutrophication: Examining linkages from selected coastal regions of the United States (2008, background): “Eutrophication can cause an increase in macroalgae (Lapointe et al., 2004; Smith et al., 2001), providing more habitat for ciguatera dinoflagellates.”
• Anthropogenic nutrient enrichment of seagrass and coral reef communities in the Lower Florida Keys: discrimination of local versus regional nitrogen sources (2004, background): “3 AM at Rainbow Reef and Lang’s Reef (Lapointe et al., 2004).”
• Water quality of the Great Barrier Reef: distributions, effects on reef biota and trigger values for the protection of ecosystem health (2008, unknown): “2000) or the Bahamas (Lapointe et al. 2004).”
• Remote video bioassays reveal the potential feeding impact of the rabbitfish Siganus canaliculatus (f: Siganidae) on an inner-shelf reef of the Great Barrier Reef (2008, methodology): “Lewis and Wainwright 1985; McClanahan et al. 1994; Lapointe et al. 2004 ) or as a means of demonstrating the role of herbivores in determining zonation patterns of macroalgae and seagrasses (e.g.”
• Assessment of coral reefs using herbivory/nutrient assays and indicator groups of benthic primary producers: a critical synthesis, proposed protocols, and critique of management strategies (2007, background): “Three broad-based correlative papers (Littler et al., 1991; Verheij, 1993; Lapointe et al., 2004) provided large-scale support.”
