Chlorophyll Fluorescence in Reef Building Corals (2010, background): “These results were interpreted as a combination of seasonal photoacclimation and possible PSII damage resulting from excessively warm water temperatures during some summers ( Warner et al. 2002 ) when symbiont densities dropped below typical seasonal averages (Fitt et al. 2000).”
Palau’s coral reefs show differential habitat recovery following the 1998-bleaching event (2007, background): “Coral bleaching is a consequence of high-irradiance and high water temperatures (Iglesias-Prieto et al. 1992; Jones et al. 1998; Warner et al. 1999, 2002; Mumby et al. 2001).”
Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “Seasonal cycles in the quantum yields of chlorophyll fluorescence of corals have also been observed (Warner et al., 2002), revealing seasonal acclimatization in solar irradiance and seawater temperature.”
Lipids and stable carbon isotopes in two species of Hawaiian corals, Porites compressa and Montipora verrucosa, following a bleaching event (2004, background): “In several Caribbean coral species (Fitt et al. 2000; Warner et al. 2002 ), the Hawaiian coral Pocillopora damicornis (Stimson 1997), Acropora formosa in Mauritius (Fagoonee et al. 1999), and four Indo-Pacific corals (Brown et al. 1999), the algal symbiont and chlorophyll a (chl a) concentrations t”
Photoinhibition of photosynthesis is reduced by water flow in the reef-building coral Acropora digitifera (2005, background): “…strong irradiance, a phenomenon known as photoinhibition (Barber & Andersson 1992, Aro et al. 1993, Osmond 1994, Jones et al. 1998, Warner et al. 1999), and recent studies have shown that photoinhibition is involved in coral bleaching (Lesser 1997, Jones & Hoegh-Guldberg 2001, Warner et al. 2002).”
The ecological distribution and comparative photobiology of symbiotic dinoflagellates from reef corals in Belize: Potential implications for coral bleaching (2006, unknown): “Previous studies have documented a similar trend in corals in other areas of the Caribbean (Lesser and Gorbunov 2001; Warner et al. 2002) as well as in cultured zooxanthellae grown under different light intensities (Robison and Warner in press).”
PSII photoinhibition and photorepair in Symbiodinium (Pyrrhophyta) differs between thermally tolerant and sensitive phylotypes (2010, background): “This proportion may vary throughout the year, with evidence for seasonality in photoinactivation and photoacclimation (Gorbunov et al. 2001, Warner et al. 2002), and may vary as well between symbionts of shallow water corals and those living at depth, with important implications on the effects on…”
Photographic assessment of coral chlorophyll contents: Implications for ecophysiological studies and coral monitoring (2009, unknown): “Warner et al. (2002) measured zooxanthella densities forMontastraea annularis for over 5 years, finding cell densities of ∼2.5×106cells cm−2 in the winter (100%), with a loss of 40% of cells during “normal” summers (∼1.5×106cells cm−2), compared to a loss of 80% of cells during the 1998 summer…”
Fluctuating algal symbiont communities in Acropora palifera (Scleractinia: Acroporidae) from Taiwan (2005, background): “It has been shown that the density of zooxanthellae associated with coral tissues is not necessarily constant throughout the year (Stimson 1997, Brown et al. 1999, Fagoonee et al. 1999, Fitt et al. 2000, Warner et al. 2002).”
Bleaching, energetics, and coral mortality risk: Effects of temperature, light, and sediment regime (2007, background): “…et al. 2004) as well as the reduced photosynthetic efficiency of remaining symbionts (Iglesias-Prieto et al. 1992; Lesser 1996; Jones et al. 2000; Warner et al. 2002) consequently impair the photosynthetic capacity of the coral colony, and thus may greatly impact on a coral colony’s energy…”
Photosynthetic performance of giant clams, Tridacna maxima and T. squamosa, Red Sea (2008, background): “Beer et al. 1998; Ralph et al. 1999; Warner et al. 2002 ), data on giant clams is scarce (one individual of T. maxima: Ralph et al. 1999), owing to difficulties in obtaining standardized replicate measurements on the notoriously fickle mantle.”
Energetic cost of photoinhibition in corals (2006, result): “These findings are consistent with recent observations of seasonal fluctuations in photosynthetic activity of several Caribbean coral species (Warner et al. 2002), and also explain why a moderate decrease in light availability within habitats either has no effect on photosynthetic energy…”
DIFFERENTIAL IMPACTS OF PHOTOACCLIMATION AND THERMAL STRESS ON THE PHOTOBIOLOGY OF FOUR DIFFERENT PHYLOTYPES OF SYMBIODINIUM (PYRRHOPHYTA) 1 (2006, methodology): “…culture and in hospite under both laboratory and field conditions (Hoegh-Guldberg and Smith 1989, IglesiasPrieto et al. 1992, Fitt and Warner 1995, Warner et al. 1996, Jones et al. 2000, Bhagooli and Hidaka 2003, Hill et al. 2004), and significant photoinactivation is noted before symbiont…”
