Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: a review. (2012, unknown): “These losses may also affect other species that depend on coral reefs, such as molluscs (van der Meij et al., 2009), especially if these live in close associations with specific coral hosts (Stella et al., 2011; Hoeksema et al., 2012).”
Microplastic ingestion by scleractinian corals (2015, background): “Corals are the foundation species of reefs, and create much of the structural complexity of reefs that, in turn, provides habitat for thousands of invertebrate and vertebrate species (Sano et al. 1987; Stella et al. 2011).”
The importance of structural complexity in coral reef ecosystems (2012, background): “Branching coral cover may be particularly likely to contribute fine-scale structural complexity to reefs (Chabanet et al. 1997), which can be important to a range of organisms, such as fish and mobile invertebrates (Wilson et al. 2006; Pratchett et al. 2008; Stella et al. 2011).”
Relationships between structural complexity, coral traits, and reef fish assemblages (2017, background): “351 352 Discussion 353 Understanding the associations between habitat structure and reef fishes and 354 mobile invertebrates has been a key focus of coral reef ecology for decades 355 (Luckhurst and Luckhurst 1978; Roberts and Ormond 1987; Stella et al. 2011).”
Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “This lack of obligate coral-feeding fishes may be compensated by the local diversity of obligate coral-feeding invertebrates [109], whereby there are a very large number of invertebrate species known to feed (both obligately and facultatively) on live coral tissues.”
