Patterns in leaf herbivory on seagrasses

Summary

Differences among species in the percentage of leaf production removed were associated with differences in SGR, pointing to herbivore selective feeding upon faster-growing species resulting from their higher nutritional quality, suggesting that nutrients are a poor descriptor of seagrass nutritional quality as most nutrients can be bound to indigestible fibre.
