Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Instead, sublethal physiological effects can reduce fitness, such as growth rate, body size at maturity, competitive ability, and fecundity (Pratchett et al., 2004; Berumen et al., 2005).”
Influence of habitat degradation on fish replenishment (2010, background): “…can have a profound effect on its life history, with documented effects on individual growth (Munday 2001; Blondel et al. 2006), body condition (Berumen et al. 2005), reproductive output (Conradt et al. 1999; Morris and Davidson 2000) and probability of survival (Paradis 1995; Burton et al.…”
Recovery without resilience: persistent disturbance and long-term shifts in the structure of fish and coral communities at Tiahura Reef, Moorea (2006, background): “…in the abundance of C. pelewensis and C. reticulatus at Tiahura Reef support these diVerences in their prey preferences, and diVerences in the availability of preferred prey may account for the changes in their relative abundance through time (see Pratchett et al. 2004; Berumen et al. 2005).”
Declines in the abundance of Chaetodon butterflyfishes following extensive coral depletion (2006, background): “Chaetodon lunulatus Quoy & Gaimard meanwhile, feeds on a wide diversity (up to 52 species) of different corals (Berumen et al., 2005; Pratchett, 2005).”
Coral mortality versus structural collapse as drivers of corallivorous butterflyfish decline (2009, background): “Corallivorous butterflyfishes are an ideal group of fish to test these ideas as they vary greatly in their dependence on live coral for food, ranging from highly specialised obligate coral-feeding species that only eat a limited suite of corals to generalist facultative coral feeders, for which cora”
Multiple disturbances and the global degradation of coral reefs: are reef fishes at risk or resilient? (2006, background): “Although the abundance of obligate corallivores may be unaffected by low coral cover, a decline in the availability of dietary resources can lead to a reduction in energy reserves (Pratchett et al., 2004; Berumen et al., 2005) or reduced growth rates (Kokita & Nakazono, 2001).”
Habitat associations of juvenile versus adult butterflyfishes (2008, background): “habitats with highest coral cover (Berumen et al. 2005).”
Trade-offs associated with dietary specialization in corallivorous butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae: Chaetodon) (2008, methodology): “The degree of dietary selectivity exhibited by C. plebeius and C. trifascialis was quantified using log-likelihood statistics, following Berumen et al. (2005).”
Reef fish community structure of the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (Equatorial Western Atlantic): the influence of exposure and benthic composition (2011, background): “…in coral reefs, some fish species (specially site-attached and specialised foragers) were found to be strongly limited or affected by some key environmental variables (e.g. Bouchon-Navarro and Bouchon 1989; Jennings et al. 1996; Munday et al. 1997; Jones and Syms 1998; Berumen et al. 2005).”
Diversity and functional importance of coral‐feeding fishes on tropical coral reefs (2008, background): “The dietary composition of individual corallivore species can vary among geographic locations and between habitats, in response to changes in availability of different corals (Berumen et al. 2005) or inter-specific competition (Cox 1994; Pratchett 2005).”
