Composition analysis of organic matter released by cosmopolitan coral reef-associated green algae (2010, background): “…corals, i.e. Acropora (n = 8), Fungia (n = 4), Ctenactis (n = 1), Pocillopora (n = 1), Stylophora (n = 1), Pachyseris (n = 1) (Meikle et al. 1988, Wild et al. 2010) showed that corals release a more heterogeneous carbohydrate mix than algae (glucose 19 ± 14% of all carbohydrates, galactose 1 ±…”
The effect of flow speed and food size on the capture efficiency and feeding behaviour of the cold-water coral Lophelia pertusa (2016, background): “These results are not surprising as release of POM is known from soft and hard corals from warm water reefs (Wild et al., 2004, 2010 and references therein).”
Reef sponges facilitate the transfer of coral-derived organic matter to their associated fauna via the sponge loop (2017, background): “Coral-derived organic matter could also be indirectly transferred to sponges via bacteria, which can also consume coral mucus (Ferrier-Pagès et al. 2000, Wild et al. 2010, Tanaka et al. 2011).”
Can heterotrophic uptake of dissolved organic carbon and zooplankton mitigate carbon budget deficits in annually bleached corals? (2016, result): “4f, i), consistent with findings from most previous studies of healthy nonbleached coral DOC fluxes (Crossland 1987; Wild et al. 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010a, b; Tanaka et al. 2008, 2009; Haas et al. 2010; Naumann et al. 2010; Levas et al. 2015).”
