Environmental Drivers of Variation in Bleaching Severity of Acropora Species during an Extreme Thermal Anomaly (2017, background): “Indeed, numerous studies report within-species variation in bleaching severity across different habitats (e.g., Bruno et al., 2001; Aronson et al., 2002; Hardman et al., 2004).”
Temperature Stress and Coral Bleaching (2004, background): “For example, the 1998 bleaching event in Belize central shelf lagoon areas produced catastrophic mortality (Aronson et al. 2002).”
Effects of terrestrial runoff on the ecology of corals and coral reefs: review and synthesis. (2005, background): “…filter feeders contribute to the biodiversity of coral reefs, and indeed only few examples exist of filter feeders (in particular some sponges; Aerts and Van Soest, 1997; Aronson et al., 2002) directly competing with corals for space, replacing corals and preventing further reef growth.”
Coral bleaching, bleaching-induced mortality, and the adaptive significance of the bleaching response (2008, background): “These are signiWcant ecological factors resulting in the often-catastrophic outcomes of bleaching events (for example Loya et al. 2001; Mumby et al. 2001; Aronson et al. 2002; McClanahan 2004).”
Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “…damage (Hughes, 1994; Hughes and Connell, 1999), eutrophication (Lapointe, 1997), thermal stress resulting in coral bleaching (Hoegh-Guldberg, 1999; Aronson et al., 2000, 2002; Ostrander et al., 2000), coral diseases (Harvell et al., 2002; Richardson, 1998; Rosenberg and Ben-Haim, 2002), the…”
Impact of coral predators on tropical reefs (2008, background): “As coral reefs suffer record losses in live coral cover due to changing ocean temperatures (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999, Ostrander et al. 2000, Aronson et al. 2002, Hughes et al. 2003), increasing storm intensities (Hughes 1994, Hoyos et al. 2006), disease (Richardson 1998, Harvell et al. 1999, Harvell et…”
Influence of thermal history on the response of Montastraea annularis to short-term temperature exposure (2005, background): “Thus, the thermal histories of the coral specimens used in this study could have included mass bleaching years in 1995 (McField 1999), and 1997–1998 ( Aronson et al. 2002 ) and years with minimal or no bleaching (1996, 2000–2004).”
Capturing the cornerstones of coral reef resilience: linking theory to practice (2008, background): “These include, besides macroalgae dominance, increasing abundances of soft-corals (Dinesen 1983; Stobart et al. 2005), corallimorpharians (Ridzwan 1993; Chadwick-Furman and Spiegel 2000), and sponges ( Aronson et al. 2002; Ward-Paige et al. 2005).”
Cold-water event of January 2010 results in catastrophic benthic mortality on patch reefs in the Florida Keys (2012, background): “Multiple studies on Caribbean reefs have indicated that sponges can also become the most abundant taxa following major perturbations (Aronson et al. 2002; Weil et al. 2002).”
The relationship between bleaching and mortality of common corals (2004, background): “Bleaching has, however, been associated with a large-scale loss of coral cover (Glynn 2000; Goreau et al. 2000; Mumby et al. 2001; Riegl 2002; Aronson et al. 2002 ).”
Recovery of corals a decade after a bleaching event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2008, background): “In the Wrst 5 years following the 1998 bleaching event most impacted reefs worldwide showed little recovery of coral cover compared with pre - bleaching levels ( Aronson et al .”
Alternative states on coral reefs: beyond coral–macroalgal phase shifts (2009, background): “This has been attributed to the high local abundance of the grazing urchin Echinometra viridis in the central section of the Belize barrier reef, which kept macroalgae in check (Aronson et al. 2002).”
Resilience of coral communities on an isolated system of reefs following catastrophic mass-bleaching (2008, background): “L. D. Smith (&) · J. P. Gilmour · A. J. Heyward Australian Institute of Marine Science, MO96 Botany Biology Building, The University of Western Australia, 35 Stirling Highway, Crawley, WA 6009, Australia e-mail: l.smith@aims.gov.au Ostrander et al. 2000; Aronson et al. 2002).”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…herbivorous fishes and/or sea urchins are abundant, algal assemblages may remain as cropped turf forms following coral bleaching and coral loss (Aronson et al. 2002, Arthur et al. 2005). however, where grazing pressure is low, or if coral mortality is extensive, local stocks of turf-feeding…”
Chemical warfare on coral reefs: Sponge metabolites differentially affect coral symbiosis in situ (2007, background): “…reefs indicate that most coral-sponge competitive interactions are static or slow-moving ‘‘standoffs’’ (Aerts 2000), but some sponge species have the ability to overgrow rapidly (Plucer-Rosario 1987), and others opportunistically dominate after coral bleaching events (Aronson et al. 2002).”
