Increasing relative abundance of Porites astreoides on Caribbean reefs mediated by an overall decline in coral cover (2008, background): “…to the overwhelming quantity of literature addressing declining coral cover, less attention has been paid to the fact that small areas of reefs can deviate from this trend (Edmunds & Bruno 1996), and therefore it is noteworthy when patches of healthy reef are discovered (Idjadi et al. 2006).”
Alternative states on coral reefs: beyond coral–macroalgal phase shifts (2009, background): “…from macroalgae phase shifts is limited to a few shallow sites that have witnessed signs of recovery (i.e. decline of macroalgae, increase in coral cover); these are correlated with increased abundance of the herbivorous sea urchin Diadema antillarum (Carpenter & Edmunds 2006, Idjadi et al. 2006).”
Recovery of the sea urchin Diadema antillarum promotes scleractinian coral growth and survivorship on shallow Jamaican reefs (2010, background): “For instance, the rapid phase-shift reversal noted at Dairy Bull Reef (Idjadi et al. 2006, Precht & Aronson 2006, Crabbe 2009) occurred on reefs that were characterized as so polluted and overfished that they could not recover under current levels of protection and management (Lapointe et al. 1997,…”
Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “However, there is a paucity of evidence for recovery from environmental stressors, which could be due to continued stress (but see Idjadi et al. 2006; Diaz-Pulido et al. 2009).”
Phase shifts and the stability of macroalgal communities on Caribbean coral reefs (2009, background): “The trend is by no means ubiquitous with exceptional, coral-dominated reefs being found either in isolated patches (Idjadi et al. 2006) or representing depth strata of entire reef systems (e.g. Bruckner and Bruckner 2003).”
Phase shifts and stable states on coral reefs (2010, background): “4), with a species composition closely resembling the pre-1980 community (Idjadi et al. 2006), following recovery of the local Diadema antillarum population to half of their premortality density (Edmunds & Carpenter 2001).”
Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks (2007, background): “Once the density of these hosts was sufficiently diminished, prevalence often decreased [34], and host populations began to recover [76,77].”
Herbivory versus corallivory: are parrotfish good or bad for Caribbean coral reefs? (2009, background): “Coral recovery has been associated with the recovery of functionally significant densities of Diadema (Idjadi et al. 2006) but few data exist on trends of coral cover once levels become low.”
Regional Decline of Coral Cover in the Indo-Pacific: Timing, Extent, and Subregional Comparisons (2007, background): “Despite the well-documented effects of several causes of mass coral mortality, there is substantial evidence that coral communities remain resilient, often recovering in ten to thirty years after major disturbances [15,47,20,39,59].”
Running the Gauntlet: Inhibitory Effects of Algal Turfs on the Processes of Coral Recruitment (2010, background): “While massive coral die-offs often result from pulse events operating at landscape scales, recovery is usually highly variable and spatially limited (Idjadi et al. 2006, Golbuu et al. 2007).”
Temporal changes in benthic assemblages on Florida Keys reefs 11 years after the 1997/1998 El Niño (2013, background): “…communities have been reversed after corrective actions were implemented or populations of herbivores were restored (Edmunds & Carpenter 2001, Idjadi et al. 2006, Mumby et al. 2007), but there is less evidence of this reversal when benthic taxa other than macroalgae become the predominant…”
Flattening of Caribbean coral reefs: region-wide declines in architectural complexity (2009, background): “Cho & Woodley 2000; Idjadi et al. 2006 ), the effect of coral recovery on architectural complexity is unknown.”
