Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “Bellwood and Fulton (2008) suggest that sediments provide a refuge from herbivory for coral reef algal turfs, thus facilitating dominance of this functional form as an alternative stable state.”

Monitoring functional groups of herbivorous reef fishes as indicators of coral reef resilience : a practical guide for coral reef managers in the Asia Pacific region (2009, background): “Herbivorous reef fishes can also play an important role in avoiding or reversing other alternate states on coral reefs (see below: Bellwood and Fulton 2008).”
