Coral reef ecology in the Anthropocene (2019, background): “In conjunction with fishing (McClanahan et al., 2003), these effects can favour the compet - itive superiority of fleshy algae (Barott et al., 2012) to ultimately promote their overall dominance (Smith et al., 2016; Smith, Hunter, & Smith, 2010).”
Turf wars: competition between foundation and turf-forming species on temperate and tropical reefs and its role in regime shifts (2018, background): “…competitors, turf algae are in more frequent direct contact with coral colonies compared to other major functional groups of benthic reef organisms (Barott et al. 2012b, Wild et al. 2014, Jorissen et al. 2016) and rapidly colonize space following large-scale coral mortality (McClanahan et al.…”
