Morphological traits can track coral reef responses to the Anthropocene (2019, background): “Corals are also susceptible to disturbances associated with the Anthropocene, such as cyclones and thermal anomalies (Hughes, Anderson, et al., 2018; Loya et al., 2001; Madin & Connolly, 2006; Marshall & Baird, 2000; Massel & Done, 1993), in addition to longer term changes such as ocean…”
Resilience of coral communities on an isolated system of reefs following catastrophic mass-bleaching (2008, background): “Patterns of susceptibility of diVerent hard corals to bleaching have been identiWed in a variety of studies, but can vary within and among regions around the world (e.g., Loya et al. 2001; Baird and Marshall 2002; Kayanne et al. 2002; McClanahan et al. 2004).”
Photoinhibition of photosynthesis is reduced by water flow in the reef-building coral Acropora digitifera (2005, background): “In the last 3 decades mass coral bleaching events have damaged and, in many localities, caused longterm changes to coral communities (Glynn 1991, Goreau & Hayes 1994, Wilkinson 1999, Goreau et al. 2000, Loya et al. 2001, Sheppard et al. 2002, Hughes et al. 2003).”
Environmental Drivers of Variation in Bleaching Severity of Acropora Species during an Extreme Thermal Anomaly (2017, methodology): “…literature documents relatively high bleaching severity for branching corals from the genera Stylophora, Acropora, and Pocillopora, and lower bleaching severity for mound-shaped Porites and Diploastrea (e.g., Marshall and Baird, 2000; Loya et al., 2001; van Woesik et al., 2011; Swain et al., 2016).”
Heat budget and thermal microenvironment of shallow‐water corals: Do massive corals get warmer than branching corals? (2008, background): “It is well documented that branching corals often are more sensitive to thermal stress than are massive coral species (Marshall and Baird 2000; Loya et al. 2001).”
Long-term changes in coral colony size distributions on Kenyan reefs under different management regimes and across the 1998 bleaching event (2008, background): “Similarly, bleaching can cause both partial and total mortality and there is evidence for size-dependent responses to bleaching where recruits (Mumby 1999) and small coral colonies survive better than larger colonies (Loya et al. 2001; Nakamura and van Woesik 2001; Bena and van Woesik 2002; Shenkar ”
Degradation and restoration of coral reefs: Experience in Okinawa, Japan (2011, background): “Loya et al. (2001) reported that species richness and coral cover at Sesoko Island, Okinawa, reduced by 61% and 73%, respectively, between 1997 and 1999.”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Hydrocorals (Millepora spp.), especially those species with branching or upright platy colony morphologies, also experience high mortality rates and can even disappear locally in some areas (McClanahan, 2000a; Loya et al., 2001; Maté, 2003; McClanahan and Maina, 2003; Schuhmacher et al., 2005).”
Symbiont acquisition strategy drives host–symbiont associations in the southern Great Barrier Reef (2008, background): “cylindrica, which associate with a single Symbiodinium genotype but are relatively bleach resistant (Loya et al. 2001; LaJeunesse et al. 2003).”
Characterization of fatty acid composition in healthy and bleached corals from Okinawa, Japan (2006, background): “In Okinawa, the susceptibility of corals to bleaching has been linked to colony morphology and tissue thickness ( Loya et al. 2001 ), with branched and plate-like corals being more susceptible than massive colonies.”
Biodiversity of Vibrios (2004, background): “Infectious diseases may reduce the global diversity of corals (241).”
Comparative Effects of Different Disturbances in Coral Reef Habitats in Moorea, French Polynesia (2011, background): “Acropora, for example, is the first and worst affected genera during coral bleaching [50, 51], outbreaks of A.”
