Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Whether caused primarily by bleaching (Lesser et al., 2007) or diseases (Aronson et al., 1998), these changes have led to phase-shifts away from coral dominance in many regions (Hughes, 1994), and are leading to persistent changes in coral community structure in others (Aronson et al., 2002, 2004).”
Patterns of resistance and resilience of the stress-tolerant coral Siderastrea radians (Pallas) to sub-optimal salinity and sediment burial. (2009, background): “Such scenarios have been predicted and documentedbyAronson and Precht (2001), Aronson et al. (2002), and Green et al. (2008) in Caribbean reef systems.”
Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks (2007, background): “cervicornis, causing changes in reef structure unprecedented in the last 3,000 y [71,72].”
Confronting the coral reef crisis (2004, background): “Until recently, the two Caribbean species were abundant and widespread, commonly comprising more than 30–50% of the total coral cover down to a dept”
PHASE SHIFTS, ALTERNATIVE STATES, AND THE UNPRECEDENTED CONVERGENCE OF TWO REEF SYSTEMS (2004, methodology): “Massive corals were encountered in the framework with increasing frequency at greater water depths.”
Coral bleaching, reef fish community phase shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2006, background): “This is often difficult, as relatively few long-term ecological data sets are available for reef systems (although Connell et al., 1997, 2004; Aronson et al., 2002; Halford et al., 2004 provide notable exceptions; cf. Pandolfi, 1999).”
Detection of alternative stable states in marine communities (2004, background): “(2000) suggests phase shifts are restricted spatially and temporally, there is cause for concern over the expanding scale of environmental change, the associated loss of resilience of coral communities, and species turnover events (Aronson et al., 2002; Hughes et al., 2003; Pandolfi et al., 2003).”
Effects of herbivores, nutrient enrichment, and their interactions on macroalgal proliferation and coral growth (2009, background): “2003), a rate of decline unprecedented within the Holocene for at least some coral groups (e.g., Acropora spp.: Aronson and Precht 2001; Aronson et al. 2002).”
ARE DISEASES INCREASING IN THE OCEAN (2004, background): “This has allowed researchers to determine that the recent shift of dominant corals (from Acropora to Agaricia) on reefs owing to white band disease was unprecedented in the last 3000 years (Aronson et al. 2002).”
Effects of water flow on growth and energetics of the scleractinian coral Agaricia tenuifolia in Belize (2003, background): “A. tenuifolia spans this entire range, and can be the most abundant coral both on the shallow forereef and in extremely low flow conditions along mangrove lagoon edges (Aronson and Precht 1997; Shyka and Sebens 2000; Aronson et al. 2002).”
Pathologies and mortality rates caused by organic carbon and nutrient stressors in three Caribbean coral species (2005, background): “Diseases (Dustan & Halas 1987, Aronson et al. 1998, Harvell et al. 1999) and bleaching events (Glynn 1993, Brown 1997, Hughes & Connell 1999) have caused major phase shifts in coral reef communities (Knowlton et al. 1990, Hughes 1994, Harvell et al. 1999, Aronson et al. 2002).”
