Sedimentation stress in a scleractinian coral exposed to terrestrial and marine sediments with contrasting physical, organic and geochemical properties (2006, background): “Increased terrestrial runoff is a problem for coastal coral reefs worldwide (Bryant et al., 1998; Spalding et al., 2001), and input of nutrient-rich silt into the GBR lagoon is stated as the most severe anthropogenic influence on nearshore ecosystems (Wolanski and Duke, 2002).”
Monitoring functional groups of herbivorous reef fishes as indicators of coral reef resilience : a practical guide for coral reef managers in the Asia Pacific region (2009, background): “Despite occupying less than 0.1% of the world’s marine environment (Spalding et al 2001), they support almost one third of the world’s marine fish species (Reaka-Kudla 1996).”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “More than one quarter of known fish species are strongly associated with coral reefs (spalding et al. 2001) and will be increasingly affected by ongoing degradation of coralreef habitats caused or exacerbated by climate-induced coral bleaching (Jones et al. 2004, Munday 2004a, Pratchett et al.…”
Ocean acidification and marine microorganisms : responses and consequences (2015, background): “Coral reefs, which are a symbol of diverse, biologically active marine ecosystems of economic value, occur mostly in well-lit and shallow waters (Kennedy et al., 2002; Spalding et al., 2001) and scarcely in cold and deep-waters (Turley et al.”
Coral reef cascades and the indirect effects of predator removal by exploitation (2004, methodology): “htm) and national reef areas were extracted from the World Atlas of Coral Reefs (Spalding et al. 2001).”
INDO‐PACIFIC BIODIVERSITY OF CORAL REEFS: DEVIATIONS FROM A MID‐DOMAIN MODEL (2003, background): “Shallow-water carbonate habitat is most abundant in and near the IAA, intermediate in the Indian Ocean, and most scarce across the mid- and eastern Pacific (Spalding et al. 2001).”
Migration of hawksbill turtles Eretmochelys imbricata from Tortuguero, Costa Rica (2005, background): “In Honduras and Nicaragua, an estimated 57 /58% of reefs are considered at risk and increased sedimentation caused by deforestation is believed to impact reefs located within 25 km of the mainland (Spalding et al. 2001).”
The biology of coral reefs (2011, background): “Since the map does not show the actual position of the reefs, readers who want to learn more about the distribution of tropical reefs should consult an atlas on this topic (e.g. Spalding et al. 2001).”
The 2004 tsunami in Aceh and Southern Thailand: A review on coastal ecosystems, wave hazards and vulnerability (2008, background): “Only a small proportion of coastlines in South East Asia are bordered by biotic ecosystems (see UNEP, 2005a; Green and Short, 2003; Spalding et al., 2001), and most are either buffered from waves by mainly abiotic systems like beaches, sand dunes, open mudflats and salt pans (i.”
Sediment mediated species interactions in coastal waters (2002, background): “Even more advanced from the primordial sediment are the clonal reefs of corals, turning sedimentary shores into calcareous rock with a tremenduous biodiversity (Spalding et al., 2001).”
On the origin of endemic species in the Red Sea (2016, background): “The different reef structures within the Red Sea are also reflected in the distinctive northern versus southern distribution of the reef fauna (Winterbottom, 1985; Spalding et al., 2001).”
Measuring the extent and effectiveness of protected areas as an indicator for meeting global biodiversity targets (2005, methodology): “Two further habitat layers developed at UNEP-WCMC were also used for a separate analysis of coral reefs and mangrove forests (Spalding et al. 1997, 2001).”
