• Monitoring coral bleaching using a colour reference card (2006, background): “Blue and purple colours were excluded since they are a result of host pocilloporins rather than symbiotic dinoflagellates (Dove et al. 1995, 2001), and tend to remain for some time after the loss of the symbiotic dinoflagellates.”
• Coral larvae settle at a higher frequency on red surfaces (2011, background): “Fluorescent pigments contribute to the coloration of many corals and sea anemones (e.g., Dove et al. 2001; Mazel and Fuchs 2003; Oswald et al. 2007), and fluorescence has been shown to enhance the brightness and visibility of signaling in mantis shrimp (Mazel et al. 2004).”
• Temperature Stress and Coral Bleaching (2004, background): “Green fluorescent pigment-like (GFP-like) proteins that fluoresce under UVR and/or visible light appear to play a role in protecting the photosynthetic machinery of the symbiotic dinoflagellates from the adverse effects of high irradiance (Dove et al. 2001; Labas et al. 2002).”
• Spectral reflectance of coral (2004, background): “Green fluorescent proteins (GFP) absorb and fluoresce light at shorter and longer wavelengths, respectively, contributing to striking, humanperceived colorations (Dove et al. 2001; Mazel and Fuchs 2003; see below).”
• Fluorescent proteins and their applications in imaging living cells and tissues. (2010, background): “All monomeric orange, red, and far-red FPs available to date were obtained after laborious mutagenesis of dimeric or tetrameric Anthozoa FPs, which aimed to shatter oligomerization interfaces of these proteins, but to retain successful maturation and fluorescence of the red chromophore.”
• Exploring the basis of thermotolerance in the reef coral Goniastrea aspera (2002, background): “…not permitted without written consent of the publisher Mar Ecol Prog Ser 242: 119–129, 2002 (Shick et al. 1996) and fluorescent pigments (Salih et al. 2000, Dove et al. 2001) which restrict penetration of light into coral tissues, and heat-shock protein (hsp) production (Black et al. 1995,…”
• Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “, 2000), or both depending on the position of the fluorescent pigment relative to the zooxanthellae (Salih et al., 2000; Dove et al., 2001).”
• Diversity and Evolution of Coral Fluorescent Proteins (2008, background): “The non-fluorescent chromoproteins (also called pocilloporins [7]) are characterized by intense absorption with a molar extinction coefficient commonly exceeding 100,000 and virtually no fluorescence.”
