The ecological significance of giant clams in coral reef ecosystems (2015, background): “…time and numbers of settling and growing/burrowing individuals, T. crocea will eventually erode away a dead coral head (Hamner and Jones, 1976; Glynn, 1997), but this erosive effect is limited to these habitats that are particular to T. crocea, and does not lead to wide scale attrition of the…”
Herbivory and the Resilience of Caribbean Coral Reefs: Knowledge Gaps and Implications for Management (2015, background): “However, bioerosion by parrotfishes and sea urchins also impacts the long-term dynamics of coral and fish habitat by influencing the balance between reef accretion and erosion (reviewed 8 Adam et al.: Herbivory and Caribbean coral reefs by Glynn 1997).”
Bioerosion: the other ocean acidification problem: Towards a Broader Perspective on Ocean Acidification Research Part 2 A special issue of the ICES Journal of Marine Science (2017, background): “…3), or by removing small fragments that sometimes result from chemical bioerosion and/or from abrasion exerted by hard body parts such as shells or teeth during activities not related to feeding (e.g. Tables 4–2 in Glynn, 1997; Zundelevich et al., 2007; Figure 3, Table 1, Supplementary data S1).”
Changing geo‐ecological functions of coral reefs in the Anthropocene (2018, background): “Equally, many reefs have been impacted by changes (both increases and decreases) in the abundance of bioeroding taxa such as parrotfish, urchins, sponges and microendolithic organisms (Glynn & Manzello, 2015).”
Quantifying coral morphology (2019, background): “…the aragonite structures built by the corals are the main component of the reef superstructure, where variation in colony shape influences the persistence of colony skeleton following mortality and reef matrix building and infilling processes (Glynn and Manzello 2015; Rasser and Riegl 2002).”
