Cold-water event of January 2010 results in catastrophic benthic mortality on patch reefs in the Florida Keys (2012, background): “Although widespread coral bleaching and mortality are commonly associated with warm-water disturbances (Baker et al. 2008; Obura and Mangubhai 2011), the results presented here demonstrate that extreme cold-water events can be equally, if not more destructive.”
Caribbean Acropora restoration guide : best practices for propagation and population enhancement. (2011, background): “…highly threatened by the compounding effects of local stressors and factors associated with global climate change (e.g., ocean acidification, sea level rise, thermal stress, disease, cyclones) (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999; Buddemeier et al. 2004; Baker et al. 2008; Veron et al. 2009; Burke et al. 2011).”
Novel algal symbiont (Symbiodinium spp.) diversity in reef corals of Western Australia (2011, background): “In addition, high sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) have been implicated in all episodes of mass bleaching documented to date (Glynn 1996, Baker et al. 2008).”
A global assessment of the direct and indirect benefits of marine protected areas for coral reef conservation (2018, background): “…years old, well- enforced and no- take MPA sites can promote coral cover (of all forms), but the increasing frequency and scale of bleaching events (Baker et al., 2008; Hughes et al., 2017; Stuart-Smith et al., 2018) indiscriminately reduces the cover of nonmassive groups (e.g., branching and…”
Species composition, habitat, and water quality influence coral bleaching in southern Florida. (2010, background): “…Loya et al. 2001, McClanahan et al. 2002, Weis 2008), (2) temperature differences among habitats (McClanahan et al. 2007), (3) depth differences (Baker et al. 2008), (4) differential water-flow rates of habitats interacting with temperature (Nakamura & van Woesik 2001, Castillo & ©…”
Long-term reduced spawning in Orbicella coral species due to temperature stress (2014, background): “…water temperatures 0.5 to 1.2°C warmer than usual at the deeper sections of this reef (4−8 m), exposing these corals to unusually high temperatures in excess of 31°C. Persistent temperature increases on the scale of 1°C have previously been associated with mass bleaching events (Baker et al. 2008).”
Living in the now: physiological mechanisms to tolerate a rapidly changing environment. (2010, background): “, 56, 57) suggests that the composition of the symbiont community affects the thermal sensitivity that is associated with and causes coral-bleaching events (10, 58, 59).”
Effects of phosphate on growth and skeletal density in the scleractinian coral Acropora muricata: A controlled experimental approach (2012, background): “Causes of this damage include increased sea surface temperatures (Baker et al., 2008; HoeghGuldberg, 1999;Wild et al., 2010), disease (Aeby et al.”
Overview of distribution patterns of zooxanthellate Scleractinia (2015, background): “By this time, a single broadly cohesive coral taxonomy had become firmly established and well-supported species-level distribution maps were generated by Coral Geographic (in Veron, 2000).”
Nearshore Turbid-Zone Corals Exhibit High Bleaching Tolerance on the Great Barrier Reef Following the 2016 Ocean Warming Event (2017, background): “, 2013), and which are regarded as being highly susceptible to thermal bleaching (Brown, 1997; Marshall and Baird, 2000; Baker et al., 2008).”
Motile cryptofauna associated with live and dead coral substrates: implications for coral mortality and framework erosion (2012, background): “may have widespread implications for coral reef cryptofauna (Gardner et al. 2003; Hughes et al. 2003; Baker et al. 2008; Alvarez-Filip et al. 2009).”
