• Thermal Stress and Coral Cover as Drivers of Coral Disease Outbreaks (2007, background): “However, when coral cover is high, reefs are usually dominated by large colonies [62], and density and cover are typically negatively related [57].”
• Effects of benthic algae on the replenishment of corals and the implications for the resilience of coral reefs (2008, background): “The spatial extent of disturbances is critical to the nature of the consequent recovery and succession (Mccook 1994, connell et al. 1997, 2004, Folke et al. 2004). localised disturbances such as storm damage, ship groundings or dynamite fishing can facilitate algal dominance and invasion on limited…”
• Morphological traits can track coral reef responses to the Anthropocene (2019, background): “From a performance perspective, morphology has been linked to competitive ability (Connell et al., 2004; Precoda, Allen, Grant, & Madin, 2017), distribution along environmental gradients (Chappell, 1980; Done, 2011; Gove et al., 2015) and demographic processes such as growth, reproduction and…”
• A comparison of the species–time relationship across ecosystems and taxonomic groups (2006, background): “Konza LTER ‐ The Konza Prairie Biological Station, a 3500-ha tallgrass prairie site in the LTER system, contains a mosaic of discrete habitats (ranging from 6 ha to 230 ha) created by different fire, grazing, and topoedaphic regimes or conditions in which long-term distribution data have been collec”
• Coral bleaching, reef fish community phase shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2006, background): “This is often difficult, as relatively few long-term ecological data sets are available for reef systems (although Connell et al., 1997, 2004; Aronson et al., 2002; Halford et al., 2004 provide notable exceptions; cf. Pandolfi, 1999).”
• Competition Among Sessile Organisms on Coral Reefs (2011, background): “Competition significantly decreased stony coral diversity over 38 years at Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef, and altered species composition on protected reef crests and in shallow pools (Connell et al. 2004).”
• Effects of the alien coral Tubastraea tagusensis on native coral assemblages in a southwestern Atlantic coral reef (2016, background): “Competitive processes regulate reef structure, since the space on hard substratum is limiting resource for the settlement, growth and reproduction of reef-building corals (Lang and Chornesky 1989; Connell et al. 2004; Chadwick and Morrow 2011).”
