• Coral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands (2009, background): “Additionally, a study by Jones et al. (2004) documented a coral epizootic that coincided with a bleaching event at Magnetic Island (Great Barrier Reef) in which coral mortality was attributed to disease.”
• Climate change and Australian marine life (2007, background): “Temperature-induced disease outbreaks in corals on the Great Barrier Reef have occurred at the same time as bleaching events, resulting in increased coral mortality rates (Jones et al. 2004).”
• Temperature affects coral disease resistance and pathogen growth (2007, background): “In particular, some coral disease outbreaks are associated with temperature warming, from either seasonal or temperature anomalies (Harvell et al. 2001, Kuta & Richardson 2002, Jones et al. 2004).”
• Photosynthetic responses of seven tropical seagrasses to elevated seawater temperature (2006, background): “Average seawater temperatures during the austral summer of 2001/2002 increased by 1–2 8C (Berkelmans et al., 2004; Jones et al., 2004) and elevated seawater temperatures (N35 8C) were recorded in shallow pools at low tide (McKenzie and Campbell, 2004).”
• Climate Change and Species Range Dynamics in Protected Areas (2011, background): “…disease outbreaks can also occur, as in the Great Barrier Reef of Australia, where temperature appeared to be a key variable associated with a bacterial outbreak that elevated partial colony mortality from 20% to 80% and caused complete mortality in six tagged colonies (Jones et al. 2004).”
• Coral bleaching, bleaching-induced mortality, and the adaptive significance of the bleaching response (2008, result): “Attempts to relate bleaching and mortality in the fourth species involved in the study, Montipora aequituberculata, were confounded by a coral disease epizootic occurring nearly simultaneously with bleaching of the tissues, and the results of that study have been reported separately ( Jones et al. 2”
• Bleaching increases likelihood of disease on Acropora palmata (Lamarck) in Hawksnest Bay, St John, US Virgin Islands (2008, background): “Similarly, in 2001/2002 a coral bleaching event at Magnetic Island, Australia was followed by a disease outbreak that affected both bleached and unbleached colonies (Jones et al. 2004).”
• GEOGRAPHIC VARIATION IN CLONAL STRUCTURE IN A REEF- BUILDING CARIBBEAN CORAL, ACROPORA PALMATA (2006, background): “Pathogens in coral reef ecosystems may be increasing in both frequency and virulence as sea-surface temperature rises (Ben-Haim et al. 2003, Jones et al. 2004, Rosenberg and Falkovitz 2004).”
• Allelochemicals produced by Caribbean macroalgae and cyanobacteria have species-specific effects on reef coral microorganisms (2011, background): “charchariae; Ritchie and Smith 1998), tissue necrosis, rapid tissue loss, and shut down reaction (V. coralliilyticus, V. harveyi; Antonius 1977; Jones et al. 2004; Luna et al. 2007; Anthony et al. 2008).”
