Global analysis of satellite tracking data shows that adult green turtles are significantly aggregated in Marine Protected Areas (2012, neutral): “S1) using the Geospatial Modelling Environment (Beyer, 2009).”
Social-ecological systems as complex adaptive systems: modeling and policy implications (2012, background): “A change from a healthy coral reef with lots of fish to algae-dominated or bleached coral can have large negative impacts on fisheries and tourism (Moberg and Folke, 1999; Bellwood et al., 2004).”
Mangroves as fish habitat: 50 Years of field studies (2006, background): “The concept of using such functional groups as a basis for site and ecosystem comparison and evaluation has recently been reviewed for coral reefs (Bellwood et al. 2004) and holds promise for application to mangrove systems as well.”
Herbicides increase the vulnerability of corals to rising sea surface temperature (2011, result): “In fact, the decline of coral cover on GBR reefs is similar to that reported for other Indo-Pacific reefs (Bellwood et al. 2004; Bruno and Selig 2007).”
Biodiversity hotspots: A shortcut for a more complicated concept (2015, background): “In particular, coral reefs are one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems in the ocean and provide important structures and habitat in tropical and sub-tropical coastal waters (Bellwood et al., 2004).”
Rare Species Support Vulnerable Functions in High-Diversity Ecosystems (2013, background): “For instance, some coral reefs can maintain processes and deliver services with a fraction of the species seen on reefs elsewhere [29,39], but our results indicate that rare species may be functionally important and cannot be discounted.”
Habitat complexity and consumer‐mediated positive feedbacks on a Caribbean coral reef (2006, background): “Thus efforts to restore coral reef and other ecosystems to their initial structure and function, as well as those aimed at increasing resilience of intact communities (Bellwood et al. 2004), must incorporate an understanding of positive feedback mechanisms into their management plans (Knowlton 2004,”
Comparative Effects of Different Disturbances in Coral Reef Habitats in Moorea, French Polynesia (2011, background): “Outbreaks of A. planci are one of the most significant biological disturbances on coral reefs [77] and remain the principal cause of short-term coral loss in the Indo-Pacific [15], often killing up to 90% of scleractinian corals, for example, on the Great Barrier Reef [36, 78, 79], in Guam [80], in ”
RESILIENCE: THE EMERGENCE OF A PERSPECTIVE FOR SOCIAL-ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS ANALYSES (2006, background): “Species that may seem redundant and unnecessary for ecosystem functioning during certain stages of ecosystem development may become of critical importance for regenerating and re-organizing the system after disturbance and disruption (Folke et al., 1996; Bellwood et al., 2004).”
