- Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “There are over 160 species including fishes, annelids, crustaceans, echinoderms, and molluscs that consume living coral (Rotjan and Lewis 2008).”
- Early post-settlement mortality and the structure of coral assemblages (2010, background): “A growing body of studies highlights the capacity of some grazers to be detrimental to adult corals (Miller & Hay 1996, GrottoliEverett & Wellington 1997, Rotjan & Lewis 2005, Rotjan & Lewis 2008).”
- Herbivory versus corallivory: are parrotfish good or bad for Caribbean coral reefs? (2009, background): “With many uncertainties notwithstanding, any assertion that conservation practices should guard against protecting corallivorous parrotfishes (Rotjan and Lewis 2008) appears to be unwarranted at this stage.”
- Thirty Years of Research on Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (1986–2016): Scientific Advances and Emerging Opportunities (2017, background): “, Chaetodon butterflyfishes, and Drupella snails) cause only localized injuries or tissue-loss [4,5], adult CoTS can kill entire corals, including relatively large colonies.”
- Harnessing ecological processes to facilitate coral restoration (2018, neutral): “In the Caribbean, territorial damselfishes (eg Stegastes planifrons ) destroy large amounts of live coral tissue to create algal gardens that are fiercely protected from larger herbivores (Rotjan and Lewis 2008).”
- Nutrient versus herbivore control of macroalgal community development and coral growth on a Caribbean reef (2009, background): “…fed more frequently on enriched cinderblocks in our experiment and most corals in uncaged areas showed grazing scars characteristic of parrotfishes (Rotjan & Lewis 2005, 2008), fishes may have been feeding more intensely from the corals on enriched blocks, thus slowing their net growth.”
- Variation in the structure of epifaunal invertebrate assemblages among coral hosts (2010, background): “Relatively few coral reef organisms actually feed on live coral tissues, though Rotjan and Lewis (2008) identified at least 51 species of invertebrates that feed on coral.”
