Coral bleaching, bleaching-induced mortality, and the adaptive significance of the bleaching response (2008, methodology): “The results also indicate that mechanisms for host mortality needs to be integrated into putative mechanisms of coral bleaching as death by starvation, occurring several months after a bleaching event, cannot solely explain the patterns observed here for the Acropora spp. (see also Jones 2005 ).”
Photoinhibition from chronic herbicide exposure reduces reproductive output of reef-building corals (2007, background): “…is a long-lasting process caused by the degradation and reduced turnover of the reaction centre D1 protein because the binding of diuron inhibits the synthesis of proteins (Arg238) specifically associated with the herbicide binding niche of the PSII (Oettmeier 1992, Osmond et al. 1999, Jones 2004).”
