• Coral bleaching, bleaching-induced mortality, and the adaptive significance of the bleaching response (2008, background): “eral months (Mumby et al. 2001; Loya et al. 2001).”
• Recovery of corals a decade after a bleaching event in Dubai, United Arab Emirates (2008, background): “This is particularly true given that temperatures here were 4–10°C higher than associated with bleaching elsewhere (Bruno et al. 2001; Wellington et al. 2001; Mumby et al. 2001; Aronson et al. 2002; Sheppard 2003).”
• Mortality, growth and reproduction in scleractinian corals following bleaching on the Great barrier Reef (2002, result): “…exception of P. lobata, this was not a trivial event and the mortality of A. hyacinthus is comparable to some of the worst cases of bleaching elsewhere in the IndoPacific (e.g. Brown & Suharsono 1990, Glynn et al. 2001, Mumby et al. 2001) and the Caribbean (Williams & Bunkley-Williams 1990).”
• Natural disturbances and interannual variability of coral reef communities on the outer slope of Tiahura (Moorea, French Polynesia): 1991 to 1997 (2002, background): “Additionally, major coral-bleaching events in French Polynesia have been reported in 1983, 1984, 1987, 1991, 1994 and 1998 (Salvat 1992, Hoegh-Guldberg & Salvat 1995, Augustin et al. 1997, Mumby et al. 2001).”
• Ecological responses to recent climate change (2002, background): “The impact of thermal stress on reefs can be dramatic, with the almost total removal of corals in some instance”
• The 1998 bleaching event and its aftermath on a coral reef in Belize (2002, methodology): “The lack of a depth gradient in the occurrence of bleaching suggests that increased solar radiation was not the principal cause, although it may have contributed to bleaching in the shallower depths (see, e.g., Mumby et al. 2001).”
• 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).”
• The boring microflora in modern coral reef ecosystems: a review of its roles (2008, background): “These factors increase coral bleaching events, the rate of coral mortality and can favor shifts from coral-dominated reefs to algal-dominated reefs (Mumby et al. 2001; Szmant 2002; Wilkinson 2004).”
• Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Mumby et al. (2001a) attributed absence of excessive bleaching in the Tuamotu Islands in 1998 to high cloud cover.”
