• Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: a review. (2012, unknown): “Coastal coral reefs adjacent to population centers often do not recover from disturbances, in contrast to remote reefs in relatively pristine environments, because chronic human influences have degraded water and substratum quality, thereby inhibiting recovery (McCook, 1999a; Wolanski et al., 2004).”
• Coral mortality and interaction with algae in relation to sedimentation (2003, background): “The decrease in radial growth in C. natans with increasing influence of terrestrial sediment differs from the study of McCook (2001) in the central Great Barrier Reef.”
• Interaction between benthic algae (Lyngbya bouillonii, Dictyota dichotoma) and scleractinian coral Porites lutea in direct contact (2007, background): “The coral–algal interaction is not one-sided; corals also may inhibit algal growth and overgrow the algae (McCook, 2001).”
• Characterization of a large-scale ephemeral bloom of the green alga Cladophora sericea on the coral reefs of West Maui, Hawai'i (2005, background): “…strongly influences the abundance, standing stock and productivity of benthic reef algae (Hatcher & Larkum 1983, Miller et al. 1999, Lirman 2001, McCook 2001, McCook et al. 2001, Smith © Inter-Research 2005 · www.int-res.com*Email: jsmith@nceas.ucsb.edu KEY WORDS: Algal blooms · Cladophora…”
• Long-term effects of the 1998 coral bleaching event on reef fish assemblages (2006, background): “Subsequently, other sessile organisms such as macroalgae may take over, which could interfere with recruitment and subsequent recovery of the coral community (McCook 2001).”
• Differential competitive abilities between Caribbean coral species and a brown alga: a year of experiments and a long-term perspective (2006, background): “As stated earlier, much emphasis has been placed on the role that algae play in the variability of coral-algal interactions (McCook 2001, McCook et al. 2001, River & Edmunds 2001, Jompa & McCook 2002a,b, 2003a,b).”
• The fate of bleached corals: patterns and dynamics of algal recruitment (2002, background): “Qualitative observations at a range of reefs in the central GBR (Fig.”
• Coral-algal competition: macroalgae with different properties have different effects on corals (2003, methodology): “…study, on the interaction between Corallophila huysmansii and Porites cylindrica, was conducted on the reef slope (7 to 8 m 89 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 258: 87–95, 2003 depth) at Cannon Bay (18° 41.0’ S, 146° 35.2’ E), Great Palm Island, inshore GBR, Australia, close to the site used by McCook (2001).”
• Effects of live coral, epilithic algal communities and substrate type on algal recruitment (2004, unknown): “The experimental site is on a very inshore island, Goold Island (18 10’ 85 S; 146 10’05 E), in the central section of the GBR (detailed description in McCook2001).”
• Effects of competition and herbivory on interactions between a hard coral and a brown alga (2002, methodology): “…importance of herbivory to coral–algal competition (e.g. Sammarco, 1982; Lewis, 1986; Hughes, 1994), only two have manipulated both herbivory and algal abundance (Miller and Hay, 1996, 1998), and only one previous study has directly examined effects of corals and algae on each other (McCook, 2001).”
• Contrasting effects of turf algae on corals: massive Porites spp. are unaffected by mixed-species turfs, but killed by the red alga Anotrichium tenue (2003, background): “The interaction is not one-sided, as corals may inhibit algal growth or even overgrow the algae (de Ruyter van Steveninck et al. 1988, van Woesik 1998, McCook 2001, Jompa & McCook 2002).”
• Interaction between nutrients and herbivory in controlling algal communities and coral condition on Glover's Reef, Belize (2003, background): “…in controlling the benthic ecology of coral reefs has been a focus of a number of recent ecological studies (Hatcher & Larkum 1983, Littler et al. 1991, McCook 1996, 1999, McCook et al. 2001, Miller et al. 1999, Smith et al. 2001, Stimson et al. 2001, Thacker et al. 2001, Belliveau & Paul 2002).”
• Coral Reef Algae (2011, background): “Following coral bleaching and mortality events, broad areas of reefs are often overgrown by macroalgae, which can competitively exclude corals once established (Coyer et al. 1993; McCook 1999, 2001; Jompa and McCook 2003; Rogers and Miller 2006; Kuffner et al. 2006).”
