Variability in mesophotic coral reef communities along the Great Barrier Reef, Australia (2011, background): “This is probably caused by settlement of negatively-buoyant brooded larvae only a few metres from the parent colony (Fabricius & Alderslade 2001).”
Spectral reflectance of coral reef bottom-types worldwide and implications for coral reef remote sensing (2003, background): “For many of the world’s reefs, however, soft/gorgonian corals are not a dominant benthic component and often occupy different reef zones than hermatypic corals (Fabricius & Alderslade, 2001).”
Beyond corals and fish: the effects of climate change on noncoral benthic invertebrates of tropical reefs (2008, background): “Reduced salinity can be lethal to invertebrates on reef flats emersed at low tide during heavy rain or freshwater lenses of river plumes (Fabricius & Alderslade, 2001; Gillanders & Kingsford, 2002; Fabricius et al., 2007).”
Soft corals (Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) from southern Taiwan. II. Species diversity and distributional patterns (2004, unknown): “Emendations following the taxonomic revision by Verseveldt (1982b) of Sarcophyton and assessments by Fabricius and Alderslade (2001) assigning Pachycalvularia to Briareum, reduce to 5 the number of species from Utinomi , s (1959) list that were not found in the present collection (i.e., Clavularia…”
Distribution of lipids and fatty acids in corals by their taxonomic position and presence of zooxanthellae (2010, background): “…corals (Balanophyllia and Tubastrea), 1 genus of alcyonarians (Dendronephthya), 6 genera of gorgonians (Annella, Melithaea, Parisis, Menella, Paracis, and Viminella), and Siphonogorgia were azooxanthellate; other genera contained zooxanthellae (Fabricius & Alderslade 2001, van Oppen et al. 2005).”
The phylum Cnidaria: A review of phylogenetic patterns and diversity 300 years after Linnaeus (2007, background): “For taxonomic convenience, Alcyonacea is often sub-divided into six sub-ordinal groups representing different grades of colony form and skeletal composition, but it is widely acknowledged that these groups do not reflect phylogenetic relationships (Fabricius & Alderslade 2001).”
Closely related Symbiodinium spp. differ in relative dominance in coral reef host communities across environmental, latitudinal and biogeographic gradients (2004, result): “The images obtained were compared with taxonomic references and identification guides (e.g. Veron 2000, Fabricius & Alderslade 2001), and most hosts were identified to the genus and species level.”
