Evidence for a decadal-scale decline in the growth rates of juvenile scleractinian corals (2007, background): “KEY WORDS: Corals · Scleractinia · Juveniles · Recruits · Growth · Climate change Resale or republication not permitted without written consent of the publisher Coral reef off St. John, US Virgin Islands, where juvenile corals have been found to grow more slowly than expected.”
Capturing the cornerstones of coral reef resilience: linking theory to practice (2008, background): “For example, coral reefs are characterized by a high natural variation in potential focal state variables (e.g., recruitment) (Hughes et al. 1999; Edmunds 2000; Glassom et al. 2004), which makes separation of increasing variance from ecological ‘‘noise’’ difficult.”
Permanent 'phase shifts' or reversible declines in coral cover? Lack of recovery of two coral reefs in St. John, US Virgin Islands (2006, background): “Edmunds (2000) found high spatial and temporal variability in density of juvenile corals on reef and non-carbonate substrates within Lameshur Bay, but density exceeded 50 per 0.25 m2 in some quadrats.”
Spatial distribution patterns of the gorgonians Eunicella singularis, Paramuricea clavata, and Leptogorgia sarmentosa (Cape of Creus, Northwestern Mediterranean Sea) (2011, background): “Recruitment determines the spatio-temporal distribution patterns of new individuals (Chiappone and Sullivan 1996; Edmunds 2000; Baird et al. 2003) and is influenced by the characteristics of the reproductive cycle of the species, the dispersal abilities of the larvae, the features of the substrate,…”
Effect of macroalgal competition on growth and survival of juvenile Caribbean corals (2007, background): “Juvenile corals experience high levels of mortality (Bak & Engel 1979, Edmunds 2000) which may be an important factor structuring coral reef communities (Miller et al. 2000).”
THE EXPANDING SCALE OF SPECIES TURNOVER EVENTS ON CORAL REEFS IN BELIZE (2002, background): “Brooding species, especially P. astreoides and Agaricia agaricites, are among the first corals to colonize disturbed reef surfaces in the Caribbean (Sammarco 1985, Smith 1992, Edmunds 2000, and many others).”
Early life-history dynamics of Caribbean coral species on artificial substratum: the importance of competition, growth and variation in life-history strategy (2006, background): “Edmunds 2000; Ruiz-Za´ rate and Arias-Gonza´ lez 2004; but see Hughes et al. 2000).”
