• Herbicides increase the vulnerability of corals to rising sea surface temperature (2011, background): “These herbicides compete with plastoquinone for the QB binding site on the D1 protein in PSII, leading to reduced electron transport (photochemical efficiency) and a consequent increase in nonphotochemical quenching and a decrease in DF : F 9m (Oettmeier 1992; Jones and Kerswell 2003).”
• Effects of terrestrial runoff on the ecology of corals and coral reefs: review and synthesis. (2005, background): “…(but reversible) photophysiological stress in corals after short-term exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations of <1lg l 1 (Owen et al., 2003; Jones and Kerswell, 2003; Jones et al., 2003; Negri et al., in press); their effects at chronic low-level exposures are still largely unknown.”
• Testing the photoinhibition model of coral bleaching using chemical inhibitors (2004, methodology): “All seawater used in the tests was filtered to 1 µm (nominal levels) using a polypropylene filter cartridge (see Jones et al. 2003 for details).”
• Use of fluorescence-based ecotoxicological bioassays in monitoring toxicants and pollution in aquatic systems: Review (2007, unknown): “Similarly, temperature cannot only cause a change in fluorescence, but can also change the sensitivity of the test organism to the toxicant in question [48,50,77].”
• Photoinhibition from chronic herbicide exposure reduces reproductive output of reef-building corals (2007, background): “Diuron inhibits the PSII electron transport chain of symbiotic Symbiodinium spp. (zooxanthellae) in adult corals within hours, at concentrations as low as 0.3 µg l–1 (Jones & Kerswell 2003, Jones et al. 2003).”
• Insecticides and a fungicide affect multiple coral life stages (2007, background): “This response contrasts with that of herbicides, which have been shown to consistently inhibit photosynthesis in coral symbionts by ~20% at 1.0 µg l–1 or lower (Jones & Kerswell 2003, Negri et al. 2005).”
