Reef-associated crustacean fauna: biodiversity estimates using semi-quantitative sampling and DNA barcoding (2009, background): “The best example we have is the study by Idjadi and Edmunds (2006) who documented positive relationships between various aspects of reef condition (most notably topographic complexity) and the generic diversity of associated invertebrates.”
Change in tropical rocky shore communities due to an alien coral invasion (2011, background): “(1) Scleractinian corals are ecosystem engineers that create microhabitats and modify nearby physical and chemical processes because they are principle architects (Jones et al. 1997, Idjadi & Edmunds 2006).”
Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks (2007, background): “species by generating the physically complex reef structure [21,22].”
Flattening of Caribbean coral reefs: region-wide declines in architectural complexity (2009, background): “Gratwicke & Speight 2005; Idjadi & Edmunds 2006; Wilson et al. 2007).”
Climate change impacts on marine ecosystems. (2012, background): “Preliminary studies indicate a loss in both fish diversity and invertebrate diversity ( Jones et al. 2004, Idjadi & Edmunds 2006), with loss of coral cover and structure.”
