Long-term growth rates of four Mediterranean cold-water coral species maintained in aquaria (2011, background): “These differences may increase the efficiency of prey capture and energy input in the coral tissue as shown in tropical corals (Anthony 2000, Anthony & Fabricius 2000, Ferrier-Pagès et al. 2003, Palardy et al. 2005, 2008); therefore, they have a positive effect on the growth rates.”
Importance of a micro-diet for scleractinian corals (2004, background): “Photosynthetic rates, as well as tissue and skeletal growth rates, are highly enhanced in fed compared to starved corals (Witting 1999, Anthony & Fabricius 2000, Ferrier-Pagès et al. 2003, Houlbrèque et al. 2003).”
The Omega Myth: What Really Drives Lower Calcification Rates in an Acidifying Ocean (2016, background): “plankton enhances calcification rates (Ferrier-Pages et al., 2003; Houlbrèque et al., 2004; Towle et al., 2015).”
Calcification and organic production on a Hawaiian coral reef (2011, unknown): “For example, heterotrophic feeding by corals has been shown to enhance calcification rates in the light and dark and to help maintain high calcification rates during times of stress, including under elevated pCO2 conditions (Cohen and Holcomb, 2009; Ferrier-Pages et al., 2003; Houlbreque and Ferrier”
Particulate nutrient fluxes over a fringing coral reef: relevant scales of phytoplankton production and mechanisms of supply (2010, background): “Such importance of particulate N adds weight to the theory that heterotrophic feeding by reef organisms may play a significant role in energy budgets, calcification (Fer- rier-Pages et al. 2003, Houlbrèque et al. 2004a) and resilience to stressors (Grottoli et al. 2006, Palardy et al. 2008).”
Nutritional status and metabolism of the coral Stylophora subseriata along a eutrophication gradient in Spermonde Archipelago (Indonesia) (2011, background): “While higher concentrations of organic matter may be beneficial for some corals by enhancing heterotrophy (Anthony and Fabricius 2000; Ferrier-Pagès et al. 2003), increased sediment loads have mostly been shown to smother, damage, or stress corals (Rogers 1990; Stafford-Smith 1993; Wesseling et…”
Microplastic ingestion by scleractinian corals (2015, background): “Ingestion of microplastics by amphipods, copepods and zooplankton is a potential concern for coral reef health since these planktonic organisms are the prey of corals (Ferrier-Pagès et al. 2003).”
Experimental assessment of the feeding effort of three scleractinian coral species during a thermal stress: Effect on the rates of photosynthesis (2010, result): “pistillata, especially, presented very high feeding rates which confirm previous observations showing a two to four fold increase in tissue and skeletal growth after four weeks of feeding (Ferrier-Pagès et al., 2003; Houlbrèque et al., 2003, 2004).”
Effects of Upwelling, Depth, Morphology and Polyp Size on Feeding in Three Species of Panamanian Corals (2005, background): “Factors such as light (Ferrier-Pagès et al. 1998, 2003, Titlyanov et al. 2000) and water flow (Helmuth & Sebens 1993, Johnson & Sebens 1993, Fabricius et al. 1995, Sebens 1997, Sebens et al. 1998, 2003) have well documented, significant effects on coral resource partitioning and particle capture…”
