Coral mortality following extreme low tides and high solar radiation (2007, background): “lower than the threshold temperature for coral bleaching in this region (Berkelmans 2002), and therefore unlikely to represent a signiWcant stress factor.”
Heat budget and thermal microenvironment of shallow‐water corals: Do massive corals get warmer than branching corals? (2008, background): “Both the absolute temperature rise above the threshold and the duration of exposure affect the severity of a bleaching event (Gleeson and Strong 1995; Winter et al. 1998; Berkelmans 2002).”
Remote Sensing of Coral Reefs for Monitoring and Management: A Review (2016, background): “Although all the different metrics have proven to be useful for the prediction of bleaching in certain locations and times, a full cross-comparison of their efficacy is lacking [162,174].”
Dynamics of a temperature-related coral disease outbreak (2004, background): “For example, seawater temperatures at Bright Point in early January 2002 were amongst the highest in a decade long record of in situ temperatures (Jones et al. 1997, Berkelmans & Oliver 1999, Berkelmans 2002) and bleached corals were observed soon afterwards.”
Variation in bleaching sensitivity of two coral species across a latitudinal gradient on the Great Barrier Reef: the role of zooxanthellae (2006, background): “…susceptibilities are known to differ not only between coral taxa (Hoegh-Guldberg & Salvat 1995, Marshall & Baird 2000, Loya et al. 2001) but also between conspecific (Berkelmans & Oliver 1999, Berkelmans 2002) and congeneric (Coles et al. 1976) populations at geographically distinct locations.”
Temperature‐induced stress leads to bleaching in larger benthic foraminifera hosting endosymbiotic diatoms (2011, background): “Spatial trends of bleaching exist in corals; the same species from geographically distinct locations show different bleaching thresholds (Berkelmans 2002; Ulstrup et al. 2006).”
Novel algal symbiont (Symbiodinium spp.) diversity in reef corals of Western Australia (2011, methodology): “…depth of sampling, satellite-derived SSTs are common proxies for temperatures experienced by corals at relatively shallow depths, and have been used to accurately predict bleaching events (e.g. Jokiel & Coles 1990, Goreau & Hayes 1994, Strong et al. 1997, Berkelmans 2002, McClanahan et al. 2007).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Some of these outbreaks have involved hundreds of thousands of sea stars that greatly reduce coral cover on entire reefs and across large reef tracts, such as in the Ryukyus Islands, Palau, and along the Great Barrier Reef.”
Bleaching, energetics, and coral mortality risk: Effects of temperature, light, and sediment regime (2007, background): “To date, predictive bleaching risk models have tended to be based on temperature anomalies only and have focused only on bleaching severity as the key response variable (HoeghGuldberg 1999, 2004; Berkelmans 2002; Strong et al. 2004).”
Coral bleaching following wintry weather (2005, background): “…Program class of 2003 for field assistance; and David Logan, Michael Phillips, and Collette Bagnato for collecting meteorological and field data. each case, coral bleaching has spread to more than 50% of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park (Berkelmans and Oliver 1999; Berkelmans 2002; Dennis 2002).”
Global assessment of coral bleaching and required rates of adaptation under climate change (2005, unknown): “The accuracy of bleaching forecasts tends to improve using SST data with shorter time steps that can better describe the spikes in SSTs that lead to the onset of bleaching ( Berkelmans, 2002 ).”
A modeling tool to evaluate regional coral reef responses to changes in climate and ocean chemistry (2008, background): “The implication of some degree of local adaptation (although not enough to escape bleaching) by Kaneohe Bay corals supports other observations (e.g., Berkelmans 2002), and adds an important dimension to management and conservation considerations.”
Enhanced energy status of corals on coastal, high-turbidity reefs (2006, background): “However, corals occur naturally in a wide range of habitats, including coastal environments characterised by extreme turbidity levels and high rates of sedimentation (Anthony et al. 2004), lower flow rates (Done 1982) and higher temperatures (Berkelmans 2002).”
Energetics approach to predicting mortality risk from environmental stress: a case study of coral bleaching (2009, methodology): “…© 2009 British Ecological Society, Functional Ecology Our model uses bleaching rate as the input variable, and does not explicitly relate the rate of bleaching to the array of factors that cause bleaching – primarily thermal stress (Berkelmans 2002) and high irradiance (Dunne & Brown, 2001).”
Breakdown of the coral-algae symbiosis: towards formalising a linkage between warm-water bleaching thresholds and the growth rate of the intracellular zooxanthellae (2012, unknown): “As noted earlier, mass coral bleaching is generally recorded when high solar irradiance levels are coupled with sea temperatures that exceed the long-term average by 1– 2C for more than a few days–weeks (Berkelmans, 2002).”
The growing degree-day and fish size-at-age : the overlooked metric (2007, background): “Indeed, identifying a correct physiological timescale through the use of GDD may advance many aspects of aquatic ectotherm research from population-wide studies (e.g., timing of coral bleaching; Berkelmans 2002) to physiological timing within an individual.”
