Herbivory has a profound effect on seaweeds in both temperate and tropical communities
(11, 17, 21, 33, 43, 47, 80, 124). This is especially true on coral reefs where 60-97%(11, 42) …

Molluscs comprise the second largest phylum of animals (after arthropods), occurring in
virtually all habitats. Some are commercially important, a few are pests and some carry …

We suggest that relatively few species attributes are of overriding importance to the structure
of benthic marine algal communities and that these are often shared among taxonomically …

This review about the genus Laminaria sensu lato summarizes the extensive literature that
has been published since the overview of the genus given by Kain in 1979. The recent …

erbivores constitute a small proportion of marine fishes and most are erci formes, a large
and almost certainly polyphyletic assemblage of teleosts. They are largely confined to …

Ecklonia radiata is one of the most widespread kelps globally, dominating temperate reefs
throughout much of Australasia and southeastern Africa. Throughout much of its range, it is …

During the past two decades we have gained much insight into the factors that regulate the
productivity of seagrass dominated ecosystems, especially those at low latitudes. Here, we …

The use of aquatic plants as bio-indicators constitutes an irreplaceable tool for investigation
in ecological research, applied to the conservation of littoral ecosystems. Today, studies in …

Models and experiments seelung to explain intraspec~ f~ c variation in brown algal
phlorotannins (polyphenolics) have mainly focused on the effect of 2 factors, herbivory and …
