Table 2 Effects of grazing and light intensity on the consumption of the native Stypopodium zonale and the non-native Grateloupia imbricata by Paracentrotus lividus as assessed in no-choice feeding assays

From: A non-native macroalga is less attractive for herbivores but more susceptible to light limitation and grazing stress than a comparable native species
