Can Tropical Seaweeds Reduce Herbivory by Growing at Night? Diel Patterns of Growth, Nitrogen Content, Herbivory, and Chemical versus Morphological Defenses

Tropical seaweeds in the genus Halimeda reduce losses to grazing by capitalizing on diel patterns of herbivore activity. These seaweeds produce new, more herbivore-susceptible growth at night when ...
