Strong relationship between coral bleaching and growth anomalies in massive Porites (2009, background): “Sites are a mix of unfished marine parks and heavily fished reefs (McClanahan & Mutere, 1994) and also differ in the height of the reef and subsequently the retention of water during low tide, which influences water flow and temperature variation (McClanahan & Maina, 2003).”
The relationship between bleaching and mortality of common corals (2004, background): “5 C above previous recorded years for the warmest months of March and April (McClanahan and Maina 2003).”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…by hughes et al. (2003) and West & salm (2003). considerable research is still needed to establish links between management and reef resilience (Mcclanahan & Maina 2003, Jones et al. 2004, Mcclanahan et al. 2005). it seems logical, however, that minimising direct anthropogenic stresses will…”
Increasing relative abundance of Porites astreoides on Caribbean reefs mediated by an overall decline in coral cover (2008, background): “…caused high mortality among fast growing branching corals in Okinawa (Loya et al. 2001), increases in the relative abundance of massive Porites and Favia species in Kenya (McClanahan & Maina 2003), and almost ‘total mortality’ of Agaricia tenuifolia on lagoon reefs in Belize (Aronson et al. 2000).”
First passage time statistics of Brownian motion with purely time dependent drift and diffusion (2010, background): “Climate-driven phenomena, such as plant productivity [1], steno-thermal populations dynamics [2], crop production [3], the alternation between snow-storage and melting in mountain regions [4,5], the life cycle of tidal communities [6–8], and water-borne diseases outbreaks [9,10] offer a few such exa”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Hydrocorals (Millepora spp.), especially those species with branching or upright platy colony morphologies, also experience high mortality rates and can even disappear locally in some areas (McClanahan, 2000a; Loya et al., 2001; Maté, 2003; McClanahan and Maina, 2003; Schuhmacher et al., 2005).”
