Herbivory and the Resilience of Caribbean Coral Reefs: Knowledge Gaps and Implications for Management (2015, background): “…recovery has coincided with recovery of D. antillarum in recent years, strongly supporting the idea that D. antillarum are important for coral re covery in the Caribbean (Edmunds & Carpenter 2001, Carpenter & Edmunds 2006, Myhre & Acevedo-Gutiérrez 2007, Furman & Heck 2009, Idjadi et al. 2010).”
Phase shift to algal dominated communities at mesophotic depths associated with lionfish (Pterois volitans) invasion on a Bahamian coral reef (2011, background): “…and health of many coral reefs worldwide has changed significantly in recent years with losses of coral cover and biodiversity, often accompanied by a transition to algal dominated communities (Gardner et al. 2003; Hughes et al. 2003, 2010; Hoegh-Guldberg et al. 2007; Dudgeon et al. 2010).”
Feeding complementarity versus redundancy among herbivorous fishes on a Caribbean reef (2011, positive): “Herbivory by fishes is critical for maintaining coral reef resilience and function (e.g., Mumby and Steneck 2008; Hughes et al. 2010), but how herbivore diversity and the complementarity and redundancy among herbivores species affect reef function is only beginning to be understood (Mantyka and…”
The importance of structural complexity in coral reef ecosystems (2012, background): “Increases in macroalgae are often related to reef degradation (Hughes et al. 2010), with studies showing that as reefs degrade, they typically lose structural complexity and have an increase in algae (Graham et al.”
Food security and the Coral Triangle Initiative (2013, background): “Displacement of fishing effort due to closures can, however, elevate pressures on already stressed adjacent systems [47], which in some contexts may cause irreversible damage to ecosystem function [48,49] and limit receptivity to settling larvae exported from reserves [50].”
Integrating ecological roles and trophic diversification on coral reefs: multiple lines of evidence identify parrotfishes as microphages (2016, background): “It has long been known that the impacts of multiple stressors on coral reefs are complex and interactive (Hughes & Connell, 1999), generating outcomes that are dependent on biotic composition and environmental context (Hughes et al., 2010; Loh et al., 2015).”
Evolving coral reef conservation with genetic information (2014, background): “…2013, crandall et al. 2014). coral reefs are among the most iconic marine habitats and are also one of the most threatened ecosystems in the world (Hughes et al. 2010, burke et al. 2011), putting these habitats and their associated benefits to mankind in jeopardy (Harley et al. 2006) if no…”
Identifying multiple coral reef regimes and their drivers across the Hawaiian archipelago (2015, background): “Regime shifts in coral reefs have primarily been described in human-dominated environments [13,14] where overfishing and reduced water quality, acting in concert with climate change, have been suggested as key drivers [10,15].”
Can macroalgae contribute to blue carbon? An Australian perspective (2015, background): “Phase shifts toward macroalgal-dominated reefs can follow, especially if herbivory has been reduced by overfishing (McManus et al. 2000; Bruno et al. 2009; Hughes et al. 2010).”
Effects of phosphate on growth and skeletal density in the scleractinian coral Acropora muricata: A controlled experimental approach (2012, background): “, 2002; Williams and Miller, 2005), overfishing of reef fish (Hay and Rasher, 2010; McManus 1997), mortality of grazing sea urchins in the Caribbean (Hughes, 1994; Hughes et al., 2010; Sammarco 1980, 1982a, 1982b), urban development (Finkl and Charlier, 2003; Hawkins and Roberts, 1994; Reopanichkul ”
The 27–year decline of coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef and its causes (2012, background): “Efforts are therefore shifting towards management of other local and regional anthropogenic pressures, in order to strengthen reef resilience (7; 8; 9).”
Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “Habitat degradation on coral reefs is typically manifest as declines in the abundance of habitat-forming corals, and replacement of coral by macroalgae or other non-coral organisms [26].”
