Coral larvae: From gametes to recruits (2011, background): “In fact, the majority of evidence to date supports the conclusion that waterborne substances released frommost macroalgae as well as one genus of cyanobacteria, Lyngbya, have allelopathic effects on coral larval behavior, settlement, and metamorphosis (Baird and Morse, 2004; Birrell et al., 2008; Di”
The impact of benthic algae on the settlement of a reef-building coral (2010, background): “Most experiments used very few species of fleshy algae (2–5 species; Maypa and Raymundo 2004; Nugues and Szmant 2006; Kuffner et al. 2006; Birrell et al. 2008b) or focussed on the induction of coral settlement by crustose coralline algae (e.g. Harrington et al. 2004; Golbuu and Richmond 2007).”
Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “Both positive and negative effects were observed for seawater collected from aquaria that had contained macroalgae for the settlement of larvae of the spawning coral Acropora millepora onto fragments of the crustose coralline alga Hydrolithon reinboldii (Birrell et al. 2008a).”
Larval settlement preferences and post-settlement survival of the threatened Caribbean corals Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis (2010, background): “…have been tested for their larval settlement ecology, there is evidence that the benthic species on a reef can facilitate or inhibit coral recruitment (Raimondi and Morse 2000; Kuffner and Paul 2004; Kuffner et al. 2006; Birrell et al. 2008; Vermeij and Sandin 2008; Ritson-Williams et al. 2009).”
Competition Among Sessile Organisms on Coral Reefs (2011, background): “At Lizard Island Research Station on the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, Birrell et al. (2008b) examined the effects of water-soluble compounds from crustose coralline algae on coral settlement over 2 days.”
Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “Because allelopathic effects can extend well beyond the substrate boundary layer (Birrell et al. 2005, 2008, Morrow et al. 2016), they may drive larval selection or rejection of a settlement site.”
Monitoring functional groups of herbivorous reef fishes as indicators of coral reef resilience : a practical guide for coral reef managers in the Asia Pacific region (2009, background): “In some situations conditioning by biological agents such calcareous red algae, particularly crustose coralline algae, may also enhance coral recruitment (Harrison and Wallace 1990, Harrington et al 2004, Birrell et al 2008).”
New perspectives on ecological mechanisms affecting coral recruitment on reefs (2008, background): “Algal turfs, macroalgae, and benthic cyanobacteria can negatively impact the settlement of coral larvae (Kuffner and Paul, 2004; Birrell et al., 2005; Kuffner et al., 2006; Birrell et al., 2008a).”
Coral larvae settle at a higher frequency on red surfaces (2011, background): “2006) and compounds produced by different macroalgae have been shown to result in mixed (either inhibiting or promoting) effects on larval settlement and metamorphosis (e.g., Heyward and Negri 1999; Kuffner et al. 2006; Birrell et al. 2008).”
