• Juvenile corals can acquire more carbon from high-performance algal symbionts (2009, methodology): “Photosynthetic performance of the Symbiodinium types were also compared following exposure to the photosystem II (PSII) blocker DCMU (diuron), which is also an environmentally relevant contaminant (Jones et al. 2003).”
• Insecticides and a fungicide affect multiple coral life stages (2007, methodology): “The photosynthetic efficiency of symbiotic dinoflagellates was examined using a pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) fluorometer (Jones et al. 2003).”
• Use of fluorescence-based ecotoxicological bioassays in monitoring toxicants and pollution in aquatic systems: Review (2007, unknown): “This insensitivity of Fv/Fm is exacerbated by the fact that PSII herbicides have reduced impact in the dark [20,21].”
• Effects of terrestrial runoff on the ecology of corals and coral reefs: review and synthesis. (2005, background): “…(but reversible) photophysiological stress in corals after short-term exposure at environmentally relevant concentrations of <1lg l 1 (Owen et al., 2003; Jones and Kerswell, 2003; Jones et al., 2003; Negri et al., in press); their effects at chronic low-level exposures are still largely unknown.”
• Scuba diving damage and intensity of tourist activities increases coral disease prevalence (2014, background): “…but bleaching has been associated with a wide range of stressors, like changes in water temperature and light (Brown, 1997), ocean acidification (Hoegh-Guldberg et al., 2007), bacterial infections (Kushmaro et al., 1997), herbicides (Jones et al., 2003), and sunscreen (Danovaro et al., 2008).”
• Herbicides increase the vulnerability of corals to rising sea surface temperature (2011, background): “The herbicides bind to the D1 protein in the chloroplasts of Symbiodinium spp. within corals, reducing electron transport through PSII (Jones et al. 2003).”
• Photoinhibition from chronic herbicide exposure reduces reproductive output of reef-building corals (2007, background): “PSII herbicides such as diuron cause a build up of electrons within PSII, and the resulting triplet chlorophyll state (3chl) can lead to the formation of free radicals and toxic oxygen species that can destroy the integrity of chlorophylls, disconnecting them from the antennae systems and protective”
• The Hidden and External Costs of Pesticide Use (2016, background): “These concentrations may be high enough (Lewis et al. 2012 ) to have deleterious effects on corals (Cantin et al. 2007 ; Jones et al. 2003 ; Negri et al. 2011 ), seagrasses (Flores et al. 2013 ), foraminifera (van Dam et al. 2012 ), benthic microalgae (Magnusson et al. 2008 , 2010 , 2012 ) and…”
