Patterns of resistance and resilience of the stress-tolerant coral Siderastrea radians (Pallas) to sub-optimal salinity and sediment burial. (2009, background): “…limited sexual recruitment of reef-building taxa has resulted in the increased predominance of stress-tolerant, early colonizing taxa like Porites and Agaricia on natural (Hughes and Connell, 1999; Kramer, 2003; Green et al., 2008) and artificial substrate (Lirman and Miller, 2003; Vermeij, 2005).”
New perspectives on ecological mechanisms affecting coral recruitment on reefs (2008, background): “In cryptic habitats, newly settled corals are likely to lose out by overgrowth of fast-growing heterotrophic groups such as sponges, bryozoans, and bivalves (Vermeij, 2005).”
Running the Gauntlet: Inhibitory Effects of Algal Turfs on the Processes of Coral Recruitment (2010, background): “…for this pattern is light-seeking behaviors (Maida et al. 1994), but the ultimate explanation is likely that intense ecological pressures such as parrotfish grazing and overgrowth competition (Vermeij 2005) make outer exposed sur- faces in shallow reefs hostile to microscopic settling corals.”
Do artificial substrates favor nonindigenous fouling species over native species (2007, unknown): “McKinney and McKinney, 2002; Harrington et al., 2004; Vermeij, 2005 ).”
Early life-history dynamics of Caribbean coral species on artificial substratum: the importance of competition, growth and variation in life-history strategy (2006, background): “…and T. coccinea) faced sponges and bivalves as major competitors and showed more dynamic growth strategies: T. coccinea was able to escape unfavorable conditions through formation of runners (Vermeij 2005b), M. pharensis increased the number of new individuals through fragmentation (up to 80”
