Effects of benthic algae on the replenishment of corals and the implications for the resilience of coral reefs (2008, background): “Table 4 lists records of observed response to induction by 26 species of corals, and up to 55% of coral larvae collected in wild slicks were induced to settle in response to crustose coralline algae (heyward & Negri 1999). corals can demonstrate varying degrees of specificity in responses to inducti”
Survival, growth and gonad development of two hermatypic corals subjected to in situ fish-farm nutrient enrichment (2003, background): “An assessment of the variables used to evaluate coral health suggests that reproductive success (Tomascik & Sander 1987, Harrison & Ward 2001, Koop et al. 2001), growth and calcification rates (Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 1997, Steven & Broadbent 1997, Marubini & Atkinson 1999, FerrierPagès et al. 2000)…”
Community metabolism of a coral reef exposed to naturally varying dissolved inorganic nutrient loads (2007, background): “Kinsey and Davies 1979; Ferrier-Pages et al. 2000; Harrison and Ward 2001; Koop et al. 2001; Bruno et al. 2003; Loya et al. 2004).”
The effect of selected trace metals on the fertilization success of several scleractinian coral species (2005, methodology): “A few previous studies have used coral fertilization success as a tool for determining stress effects on corals (Heyward 1988; Richmond 1993; Harrison 1994, 1995; Gulko 1996; Reichelt-Brushett and Harrison 1999; Harrison and Ward 2001; Negri and Heyward 2001).”
Effect of aragonite saturation state on settlement and post-settlement growth of Porites astreoides larvae (2008, background): “Environmental factors known to inXuence planktonic development and survivorship, as well as various aspects of settlement, include nutrients (Harrison and Ward 2001; Bassim et al. 2002), anthropogenic contaminants (Negri and Heyward 2001; Negri et al.”
Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: a review. (2012, unknown): “As corals generally grow in oligotrophic waters, elevated nutrient levels can lead to a range of negative effects on coral health (Hawker and Connell, 1989), reduced fertilisation success (Harrison and Ward, 2001) and settlement rates (Hunte and Wittenberg, 1992).”
Effects of terrestrial runoff on the ecology of corals and coral reefs: review and synthesis. (2005, background): “Cer- P 1lM NH4 and/or P 1lM PO4 Reduced egg fertilisation rates in Acropora, increased rate of abnormally formed embryos Harrison and Ward (2001) NH4 (11–36lMm 3) and/or PO4 (2–5lMm 3) Reduced spat densities on tiles in NH4 enriched, but not in PO4 enriched treatments Ward and Harrison (1997) NH4…”
Effects of suspended sediments, dissolved inorganic nutrients and salinity on fertilisation and embryo development in the coral Acropora millepora (Ehrenberg, 1834) (2008, background): “This result contrasts with Harrison and Ward (2001) who found that fertilisation rates and development in the sympatric species Acropora longicyathus were signiWcantly aVected by ammonium, phosphate and ammonium/phosphate at levels similar to those investigated in the present study.”
