Archipelago-wide coral recovery patterns since 1998 in the Chagos Archipelago, central Indian Ocean (2008, background): “A number of authors have documented community shifts in post-1998 coral assemblages, such as relative increases of faviids and Porites at the expense of Acropora, notably in the more severely stressed Persian Gulf (e.g. see Riegl 2002).”
Scuba diving damage and intensity of tourist activities increases coral disease prevalence (2014, background): “We note, however, that in the group of low use sites, disease prevalence was positively correlated with total cover, potentially reﬂecting transmission of pathogens via direct colony-to-colony contact (Riegl, 2002).”
The 1998 bleaching event and its aftermath on a coral reef in Belize (2002, background): “…reef organisms have occurred several times and at a number of localities in the Indo-Pacific, in at least one case leading to the local elimination of two species (Oliver 1985; Glynn 1988; Glynn and deWeerdt 1991; Brown and Suharsono 1990; Brown 1997; Wilkinson 2000; Glynn et al. 2001; Riegl 2002).”
Phase shifts and the role of herbivory in the resilience of coral reefs (2007, background): “Habitat complexity can reduce competition and predation (Buchheim and Hixon 1992; Hixon and Beets 1993) and there are locations where the maintenance of reef structure following coral mortality has sustained abundant and diverse fish populations (Lindahl et al. 2001; Riegl 2002).”
Disease and immunity in Caribbean and Indo-Pacific zooxanthellate corals (2004, background): “Authors that documented WPL-L disease in the Indo-Pacific referred to the disease as WBD (Antonius 1985a, Coles 1994, Riegl 2002).”
Long-term effects of the 1998 coral bleaching event on reef fish assemblages (2006, background): “To date, only a handful of studies have considered whole fish assemblages, and they have so far been limited to short-term effects (Lindahl et al. 2001, Riegl 2002, Spalding & Jarvis 2002, Sano 2004, but see McClanahan et al. 2002b, Jones et al. 2004).”
Major bleaching events can lead to increased thermal tolerance in corals (2008, background): “The range in bleaching tolerances among corals inhabiting different thermal realms suggests that at least some coral symbioses have the ability to adapt to much higher temperatures than they currently experience in the central Great Barrier Reef (Coles and Brown 2003; Riegl 1999, 2002).”
Recovery of corals a decade after a bleaching event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2008, methodology): “In this study the faviid / Porites dominated assemblage ( Group 5 ) occupies an area that was dominated by Acro - pora before the mass bleaching events of the late 1990s ( Site F ; see map in Riegl 2002a , b ) .”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Notably high coral mortality was also reported by Riegl (1999) with near-total extirpation of six species of Acropora from the southeastern Arabian Gulf (United Arab Emirates and Qatar) in 1996 (mortality >90%), which after nearly a decade had only recovered in a small area (Burt et al., 2008).”
Multiple disturbances and the global degradation of coral reefs: are reef fishes at risk or resilient? (2006, background): “Changes to total ‘herbivore’ abundance after disturbance are also variable, some studies finding significant increases (e.g. Shibuno et al., 1999; Lindahl et al., 2001; Sheppard et al., 2002), while others failed to detect any difference (e.g. Hart et al., 1996; Riegl, 2002; Sano, 2004).”
Model of coral population response to accelerated bleaching and mass mortality in a changing climate (2009, methodology): “Our model supports the notion that coral communities can indeed persist under a repetitive disturbance regime with approximately 15-year cycles as suggested by us in earlier papers (Riegl, 1999, 2002; Purkis and Riegl, 2005) and is also supported by recent reports from the field (Burt et al., 2008).”
Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “coral disease Arabian Gulf 90 22–26 3 Riegl [65] Kenya 26 23 5 McClanahan [66] Tanzania 33 0–3 6 Garpe et al.”
The relationship between bleaching and mortality of common corals (2004, background): “Bleaching has, however, been associated with a large-scale loss of coral cover (Glynn 2000; Goreau et al. 2000; Mumby et al. 2001; Riegl 2002; Aronson et al. 2002).”
