Conserving potential coral reef refuges at high latitudes (2014, background): “Subtropical reefs occur where major boundary current systems facilitate larval transport from the tropics to subtropical shallow-water reefs (Booth et al., 2007), as elsewhere the lack of transport may hinder the establishment or maintenance of populations (Harrison, 2011).”
Microbial indicators as a diagnostic tool for assessing water quality and climate stress in coral reef ecosystems (2017, background): “However, during the last 30 years coral reefs have faced severe threats due to anthropogenic climate change, crown of thorns starfish (COTS), disease, overfishing and pollution (Hoegh-Guldberg 2011; De‘ath et al.”
Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “Most hermaphroditic corals are simultaneous hermaphrodites, while some are sequential (Harrison 2011), and a few exhibit bidirectional sex change (i.”
The status of coral reef ecology research in the Red Sea (2013, background): “Early research focused on brooding taxa that employ internal fertilization and release fully developed planulae Coral Reefs (2013) 32:737–748 741 (Harrison 2011), and led to the general misconception that brooding was the main form of larval development of reef corals.”
