• Impact of feeding and short-term temperature stress on the content and isotopic signature of fatty acids, sterols, and alcohols in the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis (2011, background): “Indeed, fatty acids were considerably reduced after 5 days at high temperatures, in both fed and starved corals, due to a loss of symbionts (Hoegh-Guldberg 1999), and presumably, as a consequence, a decrease in photosynthate supply to the host (Grottoli et al. 2004; Bachok et al. 2006 ).”
• Diversity and functional importance of coral‐feeding fishes on tropical coral reefs (2008, background): “Over time, bleached corals will become less nutritious as they use up their energy reserves (Grottoli et al. 2004; Bachok et al. 2006), mainly lipids, which are the primary source of nutrition for corallivores (Tricas 1989a).”
• Heterotrophic and autotrophic assimilation of fatty acids by two scleractinian corals, Montastraea faveolata and Porites astreoides (2011, background): “Overall, the animal hosts of M. faveolata and P. astreoides contained the same fatty acids as did their symbionts, findings similar to those reported for other intact coral-symbiont associations (Meyers et al. 1978; Bachok et al. 2006; Imbs et al. 2007).”
• Distribution of lipids and fatty acids in corals by their taxonomic position and presence of zooxanthellae (2010, background): “In the hermatypic coral Pavona frondifera, the loss of zooxanthellae leads to a decrease in the content of 18:3n-6 and 18:4n-3 from 12.2 to 1.8% (Bachok et al. 2006).”
