• Exposure to solar radiation increases damage to both host tissues and algal symbionts of corals during thermal stress (2004, background): “Corals respond toUVRby synthesizingUV-absorbing compounds (mycosporine-like amino acids [MAAs]) and enzymes involved in the protection of both the host and symbiont from oxidative stress (Lesser and Shick 1989; Lesser 1996; Shick et al. 1996; Lesser 2000).”
• Mycosporine-like amino acids and related Gadusols: biosynthesis, acumulation, and UV-protective functions in aquatic organisms. (2002, background): “The extraordinarily high concentrations of MAAs (from 2200 up to 8800 nmol mg −1 tissue protein, equivalent to ∼220– 880 μmol g−1 tissue wet weight) reported in some corals (54, 64, 144) would accordingly represent intracellular osmotic concentrations of ∼0.”
• Elevated temperature and light enhance progression and spread of black band disease on staghorn corals of the Great Barrier Reef (2007, background): “Ultraviolet radiation is capable of damaging DNA, proteins, and lipids of both corals and their symbiotic zooxanthellae, resulting in diminished photosynthetic and calciWcation rates and causing considerable stress in coral communities (Coles and Jokiel 1978; Jokiel and York 1982; Lesser 2000 ).”
• Is photoinhibition of zooxanthellae photosynthesis the primary cause of thermal bleaching in corals? (2005, background): “Consequently, decreases in fmax and Fv/Fm are observed towards the sea surface (Falkowski & Dubinsky, 1981; Ralph et al., 1999; Lesser, 2000; Lesser et al., 2000; Warner et al., 2002), suggesting that photoacclimation results from an increase in light dependent, nonphotochemical quenching…”
• Response of two species of Indo-Pacific corals, Porites cylindrica and Stylophora pistillata, to short-term thermal stress: The host does matter in determining the tolerance of corals to bleaching (2009, methodology): “=3) sampling of both species were performed according to the procedures described in Lesser (2000).”
• Corals as light collectors: an integrating sphere approach (2005, background): “The amount of the UV absorbing pigments in a variety of zooxanthellate hosts increases towards the surface (Shick et al. 1995; Banaszak et al. 1998; Lesser 2000; Shick and Dunlap 2002) Shibata and Haxo (1969) measured the absorption spectra of zooxanthellae and endolithic algae found in the…”
• Seasonal fluctuations in the photosynthetic capacity of photosystem II in symbiotic dinoflagellates in the Caribbean reef-building coral Montastraea (2002, background): “Most studies have concentrated on specific processes involved in the photosynthetic productivity of reef-building corals and their symbiotic dinoflagellates, such as patterns of photoacclimation and the relative contribution of symbiont photosynthate toward the metabolic requirements of the coral ho”
• Photosynthetic performance of giant clams, Tridacna maxima and T. squamosa, Red Sea (2008, background): “These MAAs are also found in corals and their content increases with decreasing depth (Shick et al. 1995; Lesser 2000).”
• Experimental biology of coral reef ecosystems (2004, background): “5, Smith and Baker, 1979; Gleason and Wellington, 1993; Shick et al., 1996; Lesser, 2000; Lesser and Gorbunov, 2001).”
• Nutrient Fluxes and Ecological Functions of Coral Reef Sponges in a Changing Ocean (2017, background): “Additionally, the underwater light environment does not differ significantly between regions as both irradiances of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, 400–700 nm) and downwelling attenuation coefficients (Kd m−1) on Caribbean reefs are similar (Lesser 2000, Lesser et al.”
