- Effects of benthic algae on the replenishment of corals and the implications for the resilience of coral reefs (2008, background): “…species can cause tissue necrosis, apparently due to allelopathic chemicals (Corallophila huysmansii and Anotrichium tenue on massive Porites spp.; Jompa & Mccook 2003a,b). it is likely that such effects may inhibit coral settlement or kill coral larvae upon contact. it is relevant here that…”
- Interaction between benthic algae (Lyngbya bouillonii, Dictyota dichotoma) and scleractinian coral Porites lutea in direct contact (2007, background): “Several studies have demonstrated that abrasion is not lethal to coral polyps (River and Edmunds, 2001; Jompa and McCook, 2003a), while it may compromise their resistance and reduce the coral growth due to temporary polyp retraction and, thus, inability of predation.”
- Coral-algal competition: macroalgae with different properties have different effects on corals (2003, background): “Competition is a key process determining the structure and composition of benthic communities on coral reefs (Lang & Chornesky 1990, Karlson 1999).”
- Competition Among Sessile Organisms on Coral Reefs (2011, background): “…huysmansi and Anotrichium tenue damage and overgrow live tissues of the branching coral Porites cylindrica and the massive coral Porites sp., but the corticated red alga Hypnea pannosa and the filamentous green alga Chlorodesmis cause no visible effects on coral tissues (Jompa and McCook 2003a,b).”
