“…Similarly, macroalgal removal may decrease with higher macroalgal density due to higher predation risk and/or the reduced ability of herbivores to detect predators [65,69,76]. However, variation in initial algae biomass in single-choice assays may have influenced feeding rates as resource quantity can influence herbivory [77], hence leading to a difference in observed patterns between the single-choice assays at different sites.…”

“…Only a few studies have been able to find a relationship between feeding intensity and biomass loss of macroalgae ( [39], but see [38]). However, the variation of initial weights in algae assays needs to be considered as well, as it can influence the rate of herbivory and lead to lower biomass removal [77].…”
