• Pathogens compromise reproduction and induce melanization in Caribbean sea fans (2003, background): “Coral bleaching can lead to an extreme decrease in fecundity of colonies if recovery from the event is slow (Szmant & Gassman 1990, Michalek-Wagner & Willis 2001).”
• Mycosporine-like amino acids and related Gadusols: biosynthesis, acumulation, and UV-protective functions in aquatic organisms. (2002, background): “Experimental bleaching of the soft coral Lobophytum compactumreduced fecundity, fertilization success, and offspring viability in the subsequent breeding season (135).”
• Photoinhibition from chronic herbicide exposure reduces reproductive output of reef-building corals (2007, background): “Michalek-Wagner & Willis (2001) also reported that colonies of the soft coral Lobophytum compactum that had been moderately bleached midway through their oogenic cycle contained nearly 45% fewer mature eggs per polyp than non-bleached colonies as a result of nutritional limitations from the loss of…”
• Differing effects of thermal stress on coral fertilization and early embryogenesis in four Indo Pacific species (2007, background): “Reproductive success can also be aVected indirectly by increases in SWT and gametes from corals that have suVered previous bleaching may perform sub-optimally (Szmant and Gassman 1990; Michalek-Wagner and Willis 2001; Omori et al. 2001; Ward et al. 2002).”
• Mortality, growth and reproduction in scleractinian corals following bleaching on the Great barrier Reef (2002, background): “Similarly, the egg size and polyp fecundity in experimentally bleached colonies of the soft coral Lobophytum compactum was reduced for 20 mo (Michalek-Wagner & Willis 2000).”
• Effects of benthic algae on the replenishment of corals and the implications for the resilience of coral reefs (2008, background): “Furthermore, baird & Morse (2004) noted greater settlement (up to 80% ± 20% mean ± standard error of the mean [sEM]) in unfiltered versus filtered (0.2 μm) seawater, suggesting a role for waterborne molecules. Negri et al. (2001) observed relatively specific settlement induction by 1 out of 20 bacte”
• Environmental stress decreases survival, growth, and reproduction in New Zealand mussels (2007, background): “Reproduction can be inhibited by sublethal environmental stress, because animals reallocate energy away from gamete production and towards defense and repair mechanisms (e.g. Michalek-Wagner and Willis, 2001).”
• Temperature Stress and Coral Bleaching (2004, background): “Lipid and protein content remained lower in bleached colonies of the soft coral Lobophytum compactum and eggs produced by these colonies for at least 8 months following bleaching (Michalek-Wagner and Willis 2001b).”
