Calcification and organic production on a Hawaiian coral reef (2011, positive): “For example, heterotrophic feeding by corals has been shown to enhance calcification rates in the light and dark and to help maintain high calcification rates during times of stress, including under elevated pCO2 conditions (Cohen and Holcomb, 2009; Ferrier-Pages et al., 2003; Houlbreque and Ferrier”
Microplastic ingestion by scleractinian corals (2015, background): “…photosynthetic carbon to the coral host, many coral species are active heterotrophs, ingesting organisms ranging from bacteria to mesozooplankton (plankton size classes range from 0.2 to 1,000 μm) that can contribute more than 50 % of daily carbon requirements (Houlbreque and Ferrier-Pages 2009).”
An Overview of the Animal Forests of the World (2017, background): “Abundant literature has explored the trophic ecology of several components of marine animal forests (e.g., Graf 1992; Rossi et al. 2004; Houlbréque and Ferrier-Pagés 2009; Jiménez and Ribes 2007; de Goeij et al. 2013).”
Nutritional status and metabolism of the coral Stylophora subseriata along a eutrophication gradient in Spermonde Archipelago (Indonesia) (2011, background): “…may support calcification directly (e.g., increased amount of biomass and consequently enzymes that are involved in calcification) or indirectly by supporting zooxanthellae functioning (Allemand et al. 1998; Furla et al. 2000; Houlbrèque et al. 2003; Houlbrèque and Ferrier-Pagès 2008).”
Pathogenesis of a Tissue Loss Disease Affecting Multiple Species of Corals Along the Florida Reef Tract (2019, background): “Conversely, most species of corals are active heterotrophs ingesting a variety of prey items from bacteria to zooplankton (Houlbreque and Ferrier-Pages, 2009) as well as feeding on particulate matter (Anthony, 1999).”
Impact of feeding and short-term temperature stress on the content and isotopic signature of fatty acids, sterols, and alcohols in the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis (2011, background): “Corals are indeed able to ingest a large range of particles, from dissolved organic matter to bacteria and zooplankton (reviewed in Houlbrèque and Ferrier-Pagès 2009).”
