Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “western Indian Ocean, respectively (Jokiel and Brown, 2004; McClanahan et al., 2007a).”
Lipid class composition of bleached and recovering Porites compressa Dana, 1846 and Montipora capitata Dana, 1846 corals from Hawaii (2008, methodology): “The experiment mimicked the timing, duration, and temperature of a 1996 natural bleaching event in Kaneohe Bay (Jokiel and Brown, 2004).”
High diversity and host specificity observed among symbiotic dinoflagellates in reef coral communities from Hawaii (2004, background): “…coral bleaching in 1996, Hawaii’s high latitude and proximity to up-welled cold eastern Pacific waters has mostly spared its corals from the severe bleaching and mortality accompanying abnormally warm seasurface temperatures associated with El Niño-Southern Oscillations (Jokiel and Brown 2004).”
The coral probiotic hypothesis. (2006, background): “The bleaching disease of corals has been correlated with high seawater temperatures and high levels of solar irradiance (reviewed by Jokiel and Brown, 2004).”
A modeling tool to evaluate regional coral reef responses to changes in climate and ocean chemistry (2008, methodology): “In 1996, the enclosed or highly protected reefs in Hawai’i (primarily Kaneohe Bay) suffered the first major bleaching event recorded (Jokiel and Brown 2004).”
