Effect of Naturally Changing Zooplankton Concentrations on Feeding Rates of Two Coral Species in the Eastern Pacific (2006, background): “…(Rosenfeld et al., 1999; Anthony, 2000; Anthony and Fabricius, 2000), bacteria (Sorokin, 1973, 1991; Ferrier-Pagès et al., 1998), and zooplankton (e.g. Johnson and Sebens, 1993; Sebens et al., 1996; Helmuth et al., 1997; Ferrier-Pagès et al., 2003; Sebens et al., 2003; Palardy et al., 2005).”
PHASE SHIFTS, ALTERNATIVE STATES, AND THE UNPRECEDENTED CONVERGENCE OF TWO REEF SYSTEMS (2004, background): “Transplantation experiments suggest that it survives better and grows more rapidly than Porites in the increasingly dark waters below 3 m depth in Bahı́a Almirante (Sebens et al. 2003; D. I. Kline, personal communication).”
Influence of thermal history on the response of Montastraea annularis to short-term temperature exposure (2005, methodology): “During light measurements (natural sunlight), this light intensity (3700 lmol photons s 1 m 2) was replicated in the chambers by using layers of screens to control the light intensity from the sun (after Sebens et al. 2003).”
Water flow influences oxygen transport and photosynthetic efficiency in corals (2006, background): “... mass transfer of dissolved gases and nutrients between coral tissues and the water column are controlled by patterns of fluid flow and shear stress at a variety of spatial scales ranging from single polyps, to coral aggregations to entire reef sections (Atkinson and Bilger 1992; Bilger and Atkin”
Effects of Upwelling, Depth, Morphology and Polyp Size on Feeding in Three Species of Panamanian Corals (2005, background): “Factors such as light (Ferrier-Pagès et al. 1998, 2003, Titlyanov et al. 2000) and water flow (Helmuth & Sebens 1993, Johnson & Sebens 1993, Fabricius et al. 1995, Sebens 1997, Sebens et al. 1998, 2003) have well documented, significant effects on coral resource partitioning and particle capture…”
The importance of zooplankton to the daily metabolic carbon requirements of healthy and bleached corals at two depths (2008, background): “Flow effects the fundamental processes associated with CHAR, including rates of feeding (Johnson and Sebens, 1993; Sebens et al., 1998) and respiration (Bruno and Edmunds, 1998; Patterson et al., 1991; Sebens et al., 2003 ).”
Mechanistic niche modelling: combining physiological and spatial data to predict species' ranges. (2009, background): “Momentum balances become very important for the energy and mass requirements of organisms that swim or must maintain position in water currents (Prange 1976), or under conditions of wave splash (Helmuth & Denny 2003), and also affect patterns of growth in organisms like corals and sponges (Sebens et”
Photoinhibition of photosynthesis is reduced by water flow in the reef-building coral Acropora digitifera (2005, background): “However, such shallow reef environments also provide high water flow, inducing high mass transfer rates (Dennison & Barnes 1988, Sebens et al. 2003).”
