Herbivory and the Resilience of Caribbean Coral Reefs: Knowledge Gaps and Implications for Management (2015, background): “Grazing capacity of herbivores can be estimated based on bite rate data combined with algal yield per bite, or extrapolated from models that scale the metabolic requirements of herbivorous fishes to their body size (e.g. van Rooij et al. 1998, Mumby 2006, Paddack et al. 2006).”
Temporal changes in benthic assemblages on Florida Keys reefs 11 years after the 1997/1998 El Niño (2013, background): “While annual macroalgal cover values reported here are higher than historical baselines for Caribbean reefs (Côté et al. 2005, Paddack et al. 2006), it was not responsible for any directional shifts in community 135 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 489: 125–141, 2013 structure following the 1997/1998 El Niño (Fig.”
Latitudinal variation in macroalgal consumption by fishes on the Great Barrier Reef (2011, result): “Unlike in Paddack et al. (2006), however, all the reefs observed in the current study retain relatively high coral cover and represent some of the ‘healthiest’ reefs within their respective inshore regions.”
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): “…algal assemblages in a cropped state, they are unable to maintain all areas of reef substratum in that condition, particularly in areas of low coral cover, high nutrients and where the urchin Diadema antillarum remains scarce (Williams et al 2001, Mumby 2006, Mumby et al 2005, Paddack et al 2006).”
Modification of benthic communities by territorial damselfish: a multi-species comparison (2007, background): “‘DamselWsh interference’ has disrupted the results of at least one study ( Paddack et al. 2006 ).”
Phase shifts and the role of herbivory in the resilience of coral reefs (2007, background): “Several studies have highlighted the fact that grazing by herbivorous fishes influences competitive interactions between corals and macroalgae (Lirman 2001; Williams and Polunin 2001; Mumby et al. 2006a; Paddack et al. 2006) and Mumby et al.”
