DIETARY SELECTION BY CORAL-FEEDING BUTTERFLYFISHES (CHAETODONTIDAE) ON THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA (2007, background): “…of corals, with certain corals being easier to feed upon (Tricas, 1989); 2) variation in the physical defences of corals, such as the size and density of nematocysts (Tricas, 1989; Gochfeld, 2004) or; 3) the presence of feeding deterrents in less preferred coral species (Alino et al., 1988).”
Trade-offs associated with dietary specialization in corallivorous butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae: Chaetodon) (2008, background): “Although some species of Porites are known to have short-term inducible defenses against predation by butterflyfishes (Gochfeld 2004), a more generalist coral-feeding butterflyfish, C. lunulatus, actively selects Porites at Lizard Island (Berumen et al. 2005).”
Diversity and functional importance of coral‐feeding fishes on tropical coral reefs (2008, background): “compressa required only 7–10 days for complete regeneration (Gochfeld 2004).”
Recovery without resilience: persistent disturbance and long-term shifts in the structure of fish and coral communities at Tiahura Reef, Moorea (2006, background): “It is also possible that C. lunulatus made a switch to a low-quality food source such as Porites spp. (Gochfeld 2004) and suVered sub-lethal consequences that were not manifested in the population until after the 1983 survey (sensu Pratchett et al. 2004; Berumen et al. 2005).”
