Effects of irradiance, flow, and colony pigmentation on the temperature microenvironment around corals: Implications for coral bleaching? (2006, background): “…aspera, no temperature differences were detected between the sun-facing surfaces and colony apices while the colonies were emerged from the water (Brown et al. 2002b; no data were given for the shaded sides); it remains to be determined whether evaporative cooling counteracted the solar heating…”
Major bleaching events can lead to increased thermal tolerance in corals (2008, background): “Acclimatization can result from conditioning to past exposure to thermal stress, both acute and chronic (Gates and Edmunds 1999; Brown et al. 2002 ).”
Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “This model is consistent with a variety of biomarker proteins expressed in corals during thermal stress (Brown et al., 2002; Downs et al., 2000, 2002).”
Temperature Stress and Coral Bleaching (2004, background): “Both host and symbiotic algae produce heat shock proteins in response to elevated temperature (Brown et al. 2002b).”
Response of zooxanthellae in symbiosis with the Mediterranean corals Cladocora caespitosa and Oculina patagonica to elevated temperatures (2006, background): “This has been explained by an enhanced biochemical protection against damage by radiant energy and the ability of coral tissue to produce antioxydant enzymes and heat shock proteins, which protect both partners of the symbiosis from temperature stress ( Brown et al. 2002 ).”
Testing the photoinhibition model of coral bleaching using chemical inhibitors (2004, background): “…which were later supported by work with the intact coral–algal association (in symbio; Fitt & Warner 1995, Warner et al. 1996, Jones et al. 1998, Brown et al. 2002), suggested that a temperature-related weak point in the photophysiology of the algal symbionts is the cause of bleaching.”
Variation in bleaching sensitivity of two coral species across a latitudinal gradient on the Great Barrier Reef: the role of zooxanthellae (2006, background): “It is possible that corals show greater resistance to heat stress if they are experimentally tested in summer when acclimated to higher temperature (Brown et al. 2002).”
Genetic variation in responses to a settlement cue and elevated temperature in the reef-building coral Acropora millepora (2009, background): “…demonstrate variation in thermal responses associated with genetic differences between corals, building on previous evidence from natural populations that had suggested a role for host factors in determining coral thermal tolerance (Brown et al. 2002, Baird et al. 2006, Abrego et al. 2008).”
Differing effects of thermal stress on coral fertilization and early embryogenesis in four Indo Pacific species (2007, background): “Adult corals employ an array of protective cellular mechanisms, including heat shock proteins, glutathione, ubiquitin and superoxide dismutases, in response to oxidative stress caused by elevated temperature and/or irradiance (Brown et al. 2002).”
Mechanisms of Thermal Tolerance in Reef-Building Corals across a Fine-Grained Environmental Mosaic: Lessons from Ofu, American Samoa (2018, background): “…field observations (Castillo and Helmuth, 2005; Maynard et al., 2008; Thompson and van Woesik, 2009; Castillo et al., 2012; Shuail et al., 2016) and experimental manipulation (Brown et al., 2000, 2002; Dove et al., 2006; Middlebrook et al., 2008; Bellantuono et al., 2012b; Bay and Palumbi, 2015).”
Cell death and degeneration in the symbiotic dinoflagellates of the coral Stylophora pistillata during bleaching (2004, background): “Although host tissue antioxidants are important in ameliorating the bleaching response (Brown et al. 2002), the point at which both host and algal antioxidant capacity is overwhelmed is unclear.”
Bleaching Resistance and the Role of Algal Endosymbionts (2009, background): “Brown et al. (2002) found clade D to be dominant in corals on a reef flat in Thailand, also suggesting that Symbiodinium D is relatively tolerant of high light.”
