• Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Omori et al. (2001) hypothesized that the significant decline in fertilization in 1999 was due to decreased sperm motility, probably a result of energy depletion caused by the loss of zooxanthellae during bleaching in 1998.”
• Ecological and genetic aspects of reproductive isolation by different spawning times in Acropora corals (2003, background): “... h earlier than other late spawners throughout four consecutive years (Table 1). Another notable point is that these six early spawners were separated into two groups by their spawning times (Table 1). Field observations, at locations where we collected the samples in this study, suggest that the”
• Differing effects of thermal stress on coral fertilization and early embryogenesis in four Indo Pacific species (2007, background): “…were more compromised at 32°C. Thermal and irradiance exposure history of parental colonies can aVect coral fertilization (Szmant and Gassman 1990; Omori et al. 2001; Ward et al. 2002); however, each of the parental colonies used in Experiment 3 were from the same broad reef habitat and no…”
• Elevated temperature reduces survivorship and settlement of the larvae of the Caribbean scleractinian coral, Favia fragum (Esper) (2009, background): “Corals and their larvae have been reported to have reduced gametogenesis (Szmant and Gassman 1990), and lower fertilization success following bleaching or exposure to elevated temperature (Omori et al. 2001; Bassim et al. 2002; Negri et al. 2007).”
• Degradation and restoration of coral reefs: Experience in Okinawa, Japan (2011, background): “%) to an average of 42% at a sperm concentration of 105 ml 1, suggesting that production of new coral recruits was reduced greatly after the bleaching (Omori et al. 2001).”
• Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “%) at a concentration of approximately 106 sperm ml−1 (optimal concentration) (Oliver and Babcock 1992; Willis et al. 1997; Omori et al. 2001; Nozawa et al. 2015).”
• Reviewing the Effects of Ocean Acidification on Sexual Reproduction and Early Life History Stages of Reef-Building Corals (2011, unknown): “[59] reported sperm concentrations of 106 sperm mL−1 one hour after spawning on a reef flat with ∼30% coral cover during calm weather conditions.”
