Major bleaching events can lead to increased thermal tolerance in corals (2008, background): “Observed bleaching severities of Acropora, Pocillopora, and Porites in 2002 at the five sites were significantly lower (P \ 0.001, see Table 2) than predicted for all comparisons (Fig.”
Successful methods for transplanting fragments of Acropora formosa and Acropora hyacinthus (2005, neutral): “hyacinthus is highly susceptible to bleaching (Baird and Marshall 2002).”
Revisiting the winners and the losers a decade after coral bleaching (2011, background): “Although studies have shown that reproduction is compromised after bleaching (Szmant & Gassman 1990, Baird & Marshall 2002), thermal stress events will continue to select for more thermally tolerant genotypes, as long as the corals remain sexually active.”
Genetic variation in responses to a settlement cue and elevated temperature in the reef-building coral Acropora millepora (2009, methodology): “Although the larvae used in the present study were aposymbiotic, the elevated temperature we used (32°C) is known to result in thermal stress for both the larval stages and adult colonies of A. millepora (Baird & Marshall 2002, Negri et al. 2007).”
Mendelian microsatellite loci for the Caribbean coral Acropora palmata (2005, background): “Genets might differ in their susceptibility to bleaching (Edmunds 1994, Baird & Marshall 2002, McClanahan et al. 2004); thus, the dominance of a single genet at Horseshoe Reef and Little Grecian Reef could make populations at these localities highly vulnerable to disturbance, even though they have…”
Environmental Drivers of Variation in Bleaching Severity of Acropora Species during an Extreme Thermal Anomaly (2017, background): “…to metabolic rates: fast-growing colonies have higher metabolic rates and, thus, accumulate more harmful oxygen free radicals which results in oxidative stress that is linked to bleaching susceptibility (e.g., Jokiel and Coles, 1974; Hoegh-Guldberg and Salvat, 1995; Baird and Marshall, 2002).”
Gear-based fisheries management as a potential adaptive response to climate change and coral mortality (2009, background): “Bleaching typically occurs when corals are subjected to abnormally high water temperatures for 5–10 days (Glynn 1996) and coral mortality occurs within the ensuing 40–70 days, but may take up 280 days, depending on coral species (Baird & Marshall 2002).”
Reproductive seasonality in an equatorial assemblage of scleractinian corals (2005, background): “Some individuals may spawn at other times of the year, or not at all in some years (possibly as a result of environmental stressors), (e.g. see Wallace 1985; Hughes et al. 2000; Baird and Marshall 2002).”
DIFFERENTIAL IMPACTS OF PHOTOACCLIMATION AND THERMAL STRESS ON THE PHOTOBIOLOGY OF FOUR DIFFERENT PHYLOTYPES OF SYMBIODINIUM (PYRRHOPHYTA) 1 (2006, background): “Bleaching events can lead to massive coral mortality and further reef degradation (Harriott 1985, Berkelmans and Oliver 1999, Marshall and Baird 2000, Loya et al. 2001), and severe bleaching can suppress gametogenesis and therefore lead to lower fecundity (Baird and Marshall 2002).”
Coral mortality following extreme low tides and high solar radiation (2007, background): “These taxa make up the majority of the coral communities on the Great Barrier Reef (Done 1982; Devantier et al. 2006) including reefs around Orpheus and Pelorus Islands ( Baird and Marshall 2002 ).”
