Seaweed-herbivore-predator interactions: host-plant specialization reduces predation on small herbivores
TL;DR: Interactions among the chemically-defended seaweed Chlorodesmis fastigiata, herbivores specialized on this alga, and potential predators of these Herbivores on Australia's Great Barrier Reef suggest that escape from and deterrence of predation may be a dominant factor selecting for specialization among these herbivore.

Ecology of benthic macro-invertebrates in soft-sediment environments : A review of progress towards quantitative models and predictions
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the recent literature on the ecology of soft-sediment macro-invertebrates and how much progress has been made towards elaborating statistical models of the ecology and using quantitative predictions derived from these models is discussed.

Larval distributions and the spatial patterns of settlement of an oyster reef fish: responses to flow and structure
TL;DR: Field experiments with the naked goby Gobiosoma bosc indicated that larvae aggregate in low-flow areas on the downcurrent sides of rocks, and shift position with changing flow directions, suggesting that active response of fish larvae to either direct or indirect effects of flow on reefs may be important to fine-scale spatial patterns of settlement.

An appraisal of methods used in coral recruitment studies
TL;DR: Because settlement plates are deployed individually rather than grouped on racks or frames, the direct-attachment method avoids complications associated with assumptions of independence implicit in most statistical procedures.

Effects of Resident Species on Recruitment into a Community: Larval Settlement Versus Post-Settlement Mortality in the Oyster Crassostrea virginica
TL;DR: For many resident species, the combination of reduced oyster settlement on their own exposed surfaces, increased settlement on substrate adjacent to them, and decreased post-settlement survivorship in theu presence resulted in these species havlng little effect on net recruitment.
