Temporal changes in benthic assemblages on Florida Keys reefs 11 years after the 1997/1998 El Niño (2013, background): “Extant stands of these corals in the Florida Keys are now estimated to be <1% of their original size as a result of disease, hurricanes and thermal stress (Dustan & Halas 1987, Porter & Meier 1992, Miller et al. 2002, Patterson et al. 2002, Precht & Miller 2006).”
The reproductive seasonality and gametogenic cycle of Acropora cervicornis off Broward County, Florida, USA (2006, background): “cervicornis abundance and cover over the last two decades has resulted in noticeable structural and functional changes in many Caribbean shallow reef communities (Miller et al. 2002).”
Effect of nutrient enrichment and elevated CO2 partial pressure on growth rate of Atlantic scleractinian coral Acropora cervicornis (2005, background): “…reef-builder, this species is also very often a major component of Pleistocene and Holocene reef deposits, indicating that the current decline of this species may be a unique event due to anthropogenic effects (Jackson 1992, Aronson et al. 1998, Greenstein et al. 1998, but see Miller et al. 2002).”
Larval settlement preferences and post-settlement survival of the threatened Caribbean corals Acropora palmata and A. cervicornis (2010, background): “Both species used to be important structural components of shallow Caribbean reefs (Jackson 1992), but recently they were listed as threatened species due to extensive mortality throughout their range (Aronson and Precht 2001; Miller et al. 2002; NMFS 2006).”
Patterns of resistance and resilience of the stress-tolerant coral Siderastrea radians (Pallas) to sub-optimal salinity and sediment burial. (2009, background): “In contrast, more stress-tolerant taxa like Siderastrea and Porites continue to be both dominant components and successful recruiters on Florida reefs (Miller et al., 2002; Tougas and Porter, 2002; Lirman and Fong, 2007).”
Disease and immunity in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate corals (2004, background): “Losses of A. palmata at Eastern Dry Rocks Reef, FL (24° 27.715’ N, 81° 50.801’ W) between 1994 and 2002, and at Looe Key Reef, FL (24° 33’ N, 81° 24’ W) between 1983 and 2000, were 97 and 93%, respectively (Miller et al. 2002, Patterson et al. 2002, Sutherland & Ritchie in press).”
