• Multiple scattering on coral skeletons enhances light absorption by symbiotic algae (2005, background): “In habitats with high levels of solar radiation, the presence of pigments such as green fluorescent proteins or pocilloporins (Salih et al. 2000; Dove 2004), functioning as ‘‘optical dampers,’’ can modulate the internal light fields, reducing the enhancement effect of the skeleton.”
• Analysis of an EST library from the dinoflagellate (Symbiodinium sp.) symbiont of reef‐building corals 1 (2007, background): “Bleaching occurs when elevated temperatures result in a whitening of the coral tissues, due either to a direct loss of symbiotic dinoflagellates from the coral host or a decrease in photosynthetic pigment concentration (Takahashi et al. 2004, Dove et al. 2006).”
• Energetic cost of photoinhibition in corals (2006, background): “Coral tissue contains amino acids that absorb, reflect or fluoresce ultraviolet light (mycosporine-like amino acids or MAAs; Jokiel & York 1982), and pigments that absorb light over photosynthetic wavelengths (Salih et al. 2000, Dove 2004).”
• The ecological distribution and comparative photobiology of symbiotic dinoflagellates from reef corals in Belize: Potential implications for coral bleaching (2006, background): “…may have in modulating photosynthetic response such as by skeletal reflectance (Enriquez et al. 2005), tissue thickness and polyp contraction (Brown et al. 2002), or different host pigments (e.g., pociloporins or green fluorescent protein homologues) which may lessen available light (Dove 2004).”
• Coral bleaching following wintry weather (2005, result): “The lower values were similar to the values obtained by Dove (2004) for control A. aspera.”
