• The role of kelp species as biogenic habitat formers in coastal marine ecosystems (2017, background): “Such rafts are particularly 400 numerous in the Southern Ocean (Smith, 2002) and may have played an important role in species 401 dispersal and colonisation of novel habitats over both ecological and evolutionary timescales (Fraser 402 et al.”
• The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. I: The floating substrata (2004, background): “Underlining the importance of this current, Smith (2002) estimated that the western shores of Macquarie Island (54˚ 38'S, 73˚ 30'E) located in the centre of the West Wind Drift would receive on average 2500 rafts of Durvillaea antarctica each day.”
• The ecology of rafting in the marine environment. III. Biogeographical and evolutionary consequences (2006, background): “However, abundant reports of floating kelps at far distances from the nearest source populations also indicate that they can potentially travel substantial distances while afloat (Helmuth et al. 1994, Kingsford 1995, Hobday 2000b, Smith 2002, Macaya et al. 2005).”
• Circumpolar dispersal by rafting in two subantarctic kelp-dwelling crustaceans (2010, background): “Members of several other widespread crustacean (e.g. Parawaldeckia, Hyale; Smith & Simpson 2002) and molluscan (e.g. Kerguelenella, Margarella, Onchidella; Morton & Miller 1968) genera may then enter and hollow out the holdfast further, reducing the extent of attachment to the rocky substrate, and p”
• GLOBAL ECOLOGY OF THE GIANT KELP MACROCYSTIS : FROM ECOTYPES TO ECOSYSTEMS (2007, background): “Holdfast, mid-water fronds and canopies can retain epifaunal fishes and mobile and sessile invertebrates even when drifting sporophytes travel long distances (Edgar 1987, Vásquez 1993, Helmuth et al. 1994, Hobday 2000a,b,c, Smith 2002, Macaya et al. 2005, Thiel & Gutow 2005a,b).”
• Incursion and excursion of Antarctic biota: past, present and future (2006, unknown): “Bull kelp (Durvillaea antarctica) is particularly buoyant and common: Smith (2002) estimated that, at any given point in time, more than 70 million fronds were rafting in the Southern Ocean Current (at c. 50° S).”
• Marine shelf habitat: biogeography and evolution (2013, background): “For many invertebrates, kelp rafts may be an important dispersal mechanism (Smith, 2002).”
• Driven by the West Wind Drift? A synthesis of southern temperate marine biogeography, with new directions for dispersalism (2008, background): “Indeed, the Southern Ocean has an estimated 70 million bull-kelp rafts at any one time (Smith, 2002) and these rafts may float for vast distances.”
