Flexibility and Specificity in Coral-Algal Symbiosis: Diversity, Ecology, and Biogeography of Symbiodinium (2003, positive): “The spatial resilience of coral reefs—the dynamic capacity of a reef to avoid thresholds at a regional scale (Nystrom & Folke 2001, Nystrom et al. 2000)— may be significantly increased by the diverse and flexible nature of symbioses involving Symbiodinium.”
Combined effects of two stressors on Kenyan coral reefs are additive or antagonistic, not synergistic (2010, background): “A synergistic interaction between fishing and coral bleaching could occur if fishing reduces the resilience of exploited reefs to bleaching (Nyström et al. 2000; Hughes et al. 2003; Mumby et al. 2007) and a number of mechanisms are possible.”
Identifying multiple coral reef regimes and their drivers across the Hawaiian archipelago (2015, background): “Regime shifts in coral reefs have primarily been described in human-dominated environments [13,14] where overfishing and reduced water quality, acting in concert with climate change, have been suggested as key drivers [10,15].”
Recovery without resilience: persistent disturbance and long-term shifts in the structure of fish and coral communities at Tiahura Reef, Moorea (2006, background): “2000), though the lack of resilience in such systems is often attributed to a prior history of recurrent disturbances and anthropogenic inXuences (Nyström et al. 2000; Bellwood et al. 2004).”
Alternative states and positive feedbacks in restoration ecology. (2004, background): “On coral reefs, human-induced disturbances can promote the establishment of fleshy algae that replace hard coral, and subsequent coral recovery is limited owing to the simultaneous loss of grazers from the system [ 18 ].”
Diversity and community composition of butterflies and odonates in an ENSO-induced fire affected habitat mosaic: a case study from East Kalimantan, Indonesia (2004, neutral): “This is in marked contrast to studies in tropical marine environments, where severe ENSO events have been implicated in radical community restructuring, and even global ex- tinction (Glynn and De Weerdt 1991, Nyström et al. 2000).”
Scuba diving damage and intensity of tourist activities increases coral disease prevalence (2014, background): “Minor damage and resuspension of sediment by most divers may seem trivial, but by compounding other reef stresses associated with tourism, they could undermine the resilience of local reef ecosystems (Nyström et al., 2000) and reduce recovery rates following natural disturbances (Connell, 1997).”
Reef recovery 20 years after the 1982–1983 El Niño massive mortality (2007, background): “2003, 2005), reporting a 24% of world's reefs at risk (Wilkinson 2004), and a potential loss of resilience (Hughes and Tanner 2000; Nystrom et al. 2000; Bellwood et al. 2004).”
The non-linear relationship between body size and function in parrotfishes (2008, background): “Hence, parrotWshes are crucial for the regeneration and maintenance of coral reefs (Hughes 1994; Nyström et al. 2000; Jompa and McCook 2002; Bellwood et al. 2004; Mumby 2006).”
Variation in the diversity and composition of benthic taxa as a function of distance offshore, depth and exposure in the Spermonde Archipelago, Indonesia (2005, background): “If an assemblage in the reef is perturbed by chronic pollution, it can shift from one in which species abundances are relatively evenly distributed to one, which has fewer species and exhibits high dominance (low evenness) of certain species (Nyström et al., 2000; Magurran and Dawn, 2001).”
Confronting the coral reef crisis (2004, background): “We propose that the resilience of reef ecosystems—that is, their ability to absorb shocks, resist phase shifts and regenerate after natural and human-induced disturbance”
