Habitat use, growth rates and dispersal patterns of juvenile scalloped hammerhead sharks Sphyrna lewini in a nursery habitat (2006, background): “Kāne’ohe Bay is proceeding through a well-documented ecological transition, after experiencing sewage outflow from the early 1900s until 1977, followed by gradual recovery of reefs (Hunter & Evans 1995, Stimson et al. 2001).”
Distribution and Reproductive Characteristics of Nonindigenous and Invasive Marine Algae in the Hawaiian Islands (2002, background): “Hunter, C. L., and C. W. Evans.”
Abundance and Spread of the Invasive Red Algae, Kappaphycus spp., in Kane’ohe Bay, Hawai’i and an Experimental Assessment of Management Options (2005, background): “D. cavernosa has a well-documented history of overgrowing and killing coral (Hunter and Evans 1995; Stimson et al. 1996, 2001), and its success has been attributed in part to the low preference of herbivorous fishes for this native alga which leads to a lack of grazer control of algal populations…”
Nursery habitat use and foraging ecology of the brown stingray Dasyatis lata determined from stomach contents, bulk and amino acid stable isotopes (2011, unknown): “…hammerhead sharks were calculated with the following equation: (2) where 2.7‰ is the assumed trophic enrichment factor (TEF) (Vanderklift & Ponsard 2003) and 3.3‰ is the average nitrogen isotopic value for red macroalgae abundant in Kāne‘ohe Bay (Stimson et al. 2001, J. Dale unpubl. data).”
The effects of nutrients and herbivory on competition between a hard coral (Porites cylindrica) and a brown alga (Lobophora variegata) (2002, background): “The expression of nutrient effects in the presence of herbivores will clearly depend on the intensity of local herbivory, and the palatability of algal species (Stimson et al. 2001; Thacker et al. 2001).”
Ecology of the Invasive Red Alga Gracilaria salicornia (Rhodophyta) on O'ahu, Hawai'i (2004, background): “Pacific Science (2004), vol. 58, no. 2:325–343 : 2004 by University of Hawai‘i Press or indirectly led to extinctions and threatened or endangered listings (Stone 1999).”
Impacts of introduced seaweeds (2007, background): “Alien and native bloom-forming macroalgal species now form a mosaic with overall high total algal cover sustained by low and spatially variable grazing rates (Stimson et al. 2001) and supported by sediment nutrient levels that remain elevated (Stimson and Larned 2000).”
Effects of terrestrial runoff on the ecology of corals and coral reefs: review and synthesis. (2005, background): “…Bay, Hawaii Nutrients Reduced coral cover, increased filter feeders, increased macroalgal cover Smith et al. (1981), Hunter and Evans (1995), Stimson and Larned (2000) and Stimson et al. (2001) Barbados Eutrophication gradient Photosynthetic pigments increase with increasing nutrient enrichment.”
Effects of herbivory and nutrients on the early colonization of crustose coralline and fleshy algae (2002, background): “Twenty years later the increasing depletion of herbivores and nutrient-rich sediments have been suggested as reasons for the continued abundance of macroalgae in the bay (Stimson et al. 2001).”
Differential competitive abilities between Caribbean coral species and a brown alga: a year of experiments and a long-term perspective (2006, background): “…Lapointe 1999, 2004, Szmant 2002, McClanahan et al. 2004), both factors have been reported to enhance the growth and cover of algae, satisfying both views (e.g. Lapointe 1997, Miller et al. 1999, Stimson et al. 2001, Thacker et al. 2001, Jompa & McCook 2002a, McClanahan et al. 2002, 2003, 2005).”
Elevated nutrient content of tropical macroalgae increases rates of herbivory in coral, seagrass, and mangrove habitats (2004, background): “Introduction of Acanthophora spicifera to Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, is hypothesized to have led to the steady gain of the less palatable alga Dictyosphaeria cavernosa on coral reefs ( Stimson et al. 2001 ).”
Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “To our knowledge, Kaneohe Bay represents the only recorded case of a backward transition from algal to coral dominance due to a reversal in the environmental stress of eutrophication (Smith et al. 1981).”
A Global Review of the Distribution, Taxonomy, and Impacts of Introduced Seaweeds (2007, background): “We thank James Carlton for valuable insight, Keith Hayes at CSIRO for contributing information on Australian species, the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis for logistics and support, Michael Guiry for assistance with taxonomy and for maintaining Algaebase, Stuart Sandin for help ”
Nutrient enrichment on coral reefs: Is it a major cause of coral reef decline? (2002, background): “Stimson et al. (2001) found that abundance of this alga is low in the southern part of the bay where sewage was formerly discharged, and higher in the central reaches of the bay.”
Introduced Macroalgae – a Growing Concern (2006, background): “In contrast, adaptations to NIMS may also occur by herbivores changing preferences from native species to NIMS (Stimson et al., 2001).”
Characterization of a large-scale ephemeral bloom of the green alga Cladophora sericea on the coral reefs of West Maui, Hawai'i (2005, background): “However, despite the removal of the nutrient source in the 1980s, the bay still supports dense macroalgal stands composed not only of D. cavernosa but of 3 non-indigenous red algae as well (Larned 1998, Stimson et al. 2001, Smith et al. 2002).”
