Temperature affects the early life history stages of corals more than near future ocean acidification (2013, background): “Metamorphosis was defined as the deposition of a basal disc, which is generally visible through the juvenile coral tissue (Babcock et al. 2003, Baird & Babcock 2000).”
Direct seeding of mass-cultured coral larvae is not an effective option for reef rehabilitation (2015, background): “This study reinforces the importance of controlling the biological conditioning of settlement tiles or other artificial substrates used in recruitment studies (Heyward et al. 2002, Baird et al. 2003, Webster et al. 2004, Segal et al. 2012).”
Plasticity of larval pre-competency in response to temperature: observations on multiple broadcast spawning coral species (2010, background): “Metamorphosis was defined as the initiation of deposition of the basal plate, which is clearly visible through the juvenile coral tissue within 12 h of settlement (Babcock et al. 2003).”
Early post-settlement mortality and the structure of coral assemblages (2010, background): “…is not sufficiently developed to allow high taxonomic resolution; therefore, recruits were categorized to each of the 3 families that together constitute the overwhelming majority of coral cover in this reef system (Acroporidae, Pocilloporidae and Poritidae), following Babcock et al. (2003).”
Survival dynamics of scleractinian coral larvae and implications for dispersal (2008, unknown): “Larvae were cultured using a modification of the methods of Babcock et al. (2003) .”
Reproduction and recruitment of scleractinian corals in a high-latitude coral community, Amakusa, southwestern Japan (2006, methodology): “The top and bottom plate surfaces were examined under a dissecting microscope (·10–15 magnifications), and coral recruits were counted and identified to family or genus level where possible (after Baird and Babcock 2000; Babcock et al. 2003; Y. N. unpublished data).”
Insecticides and a fungicide affect multiple coral life stages (2007, background): “Metamorphosis was defined as the initiation of deposition of the basal plate, which is clearly visible through the juvenile coral tissue within 12 h of settlement in the Acropora (Babcock et al. 2003).”
Induction of metamorphosis in larvae of the brooding corals Acropora palifera and Stylophora pistillata (2004, methodology): “Metamorphosis was defined as the initiation of deposition of the basal plate, which, in these species, is clearly visible through the juvenile coral tissue within 12 h of settlement (Baird and Babcock 2000; Babcock et al. 2003).”
