• The invasion of the azooxanthellate coral Tubastraea (Scleractinia: Dendrophylliidae) throughout the world: history, pathways and vectors (2016, background): “Fenner and Banks (2004) reported that most Caribbean corals were described before T. coccinea was reported in the Caribbean including all other genera, facts consistent with the view that T. coccinea was introduced into the Caribbean.”
• Early life-history dynamics of Caribbean coral species on artificial substratum: the importance of competition, growth and variation in life-history strategy (2006, background): “R. maculata, T. coccinea and A. solitaria increased local abundance by: (1) reaching maturity at small size allowing early onset of planula production and (2) short larval dispersal distances (Vaughan 1919; Van Moorsel 1989; Fenner and Banks 2004 ).”
• Assessing the ‘deep reef refugia’ hypothesis: focus on Caribbean reefs (2010, background): “) and the ahermatypic coral Tubastrea coccinea are recent examples of invasive species that have successfully radiated throughout the Caribbean (Fenner and Banks 2004; Whitfield et al. 2007; Green and Cote 2009).”
• Change in tropical rocky shore communities due to an alien coral invasion (2011, background): “Coral Reefs 23: 505−507 Ferreira CEL (2003) Non-indigenous corals at marginal sites.”
• Effects of the alien coral Tubastraea tagusensis on native coral assemblages in a southwestern Atlantic coral reef (2016, background): “However, there are no reports of the ecological impacts of this invader on native coral species in coral reefs (Fenner and Banks 2004).”
• Substratum preference during recruitment of two invasive alien corals onto shallow-subtidal tropical rocky shores. (2007, unknown): “This azooxanthellate often occurs on ship bottoms, dock pilings, buoys and attached to man-made objects (Cairns 2000, De Paula & Creed 2004, Fenner & Banks 2004, Sammarco et al. 2004), and has invaded the Gulf of Mexico, Florida and the Caribbean (Fenner & Banks 2004), expanding its range from the I”
• Reproductive ecology of the azooxanthellate coral Tubastraea coccinea in the Equatorial Eastern Pacific: Part V. Dendrophylliidae (2008, background): “Since T. coccinea Wrst colonized artiWcial structures instead of coral reef substrates as it spread throughout the western Atlantic, Fenner and Banks (2004) concluded that such surfaces were the preferred habitat of this species.”
• Increasing relative abundance of Porites astreoides on Caribbean reefs mediated by an overall decline in coral cover (2008, background): “There are also a few reports of changes in coral species assemblages through range extensions, such as for Acropora along the Atlantic coast of Florida (Precht & Aronson 2004), as well as by invasion in the case of Tubastrea in the Caribbean (Fenner & Banks 2004).”
