The physiological and molecular responses of larvae from the reef-building coral Pocillopora damicornis exposed to near-future increases in temperature and pCO2 (2012, background): “Chronic exposure to elevated temperature has been repeatedly shown to result in declines in coral biomass (e.g., Szmant and Gassman 1990; Grottoli et al. 2006; Ainsworth et al. 2008) and changes in metabolic demands (Coles and Jokiel 1977; Lesser 1997).”
Ocean acidification and calcifying reef organisms: a mesocosm investigation (2008, background): “capitata increases heterotrophy following the stress of bleaching (Grottolli et al. 2006), and can maintain lipid stores following loss of zooxanthellae.”
Nearshore Turbid-Zone Corals Exhibit High Bleaching Tolerance on the Great Barrier Reef Following the 2016 Ocean Warming Event (2017, background): “…Montipora corals could meet more than 100% of their daily metabolic energy requirements by increasing their feeding rates and CHAR (per cent contribution of heterotrophically acquired carbon to daily animal respiration) during bleaching, whereas Porites corals could not (Grottoli et al., 2006).”
Diversity and functional importance of coral‐feeding fishes on tropical coral reefs (2008, background): “Montipora capitata) can increase heterotrophic feeding during bleaching events to maintain energy reserves (Grottoli et al. 2006; Rodrigues and Grottoli 2007).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “These factors include low light (due to depth, shading, turbidity or cloud cover (Mumby et al., 2001a), high flow (Nakamura and van Woesik, 2001; Nakamura et al., 2003), lower temperatures (Riegl, 2003; McClanahan, 2008) and higher nutrients (Grottoli et al., 2006).”
Can heterotrophic uptake of dissolved organic carbon and zooplankton mitigate carbon budget deficits in annually bleached corals? (2016, methodology): “compressa, heterotrophically acquired zooplankton C still represents a significant component (25 and 40 %, respectively) of their total fixed C budgets (Grottoli et al. 2006; Palardy et al. 2008).”
Community ecology of mesophotic coral reef ecosystems (2010, background): “Throughout the Indo-Pacific, MCEs are best studied in the Marshall Islands, Hawaii, Johnston Atoll, and the northern Red Sea.”
Energetics approach to predicting mortality risk from environmental stress: a case study of coral bleaching (2009, background): “Whether a coral survives or dies from a bleaching event is likely to be determined largely by the dynamics of its energy stores, ES(t) (Grottoli et al. 2006; Anthony et al. 2007; Rodrigues & Grottoli 2007).”
Response of two species of Indo-Pacific corals, Porites cylindrica and Stylophora pistillata, to short-term thermal stress: The host does matter in determining the tolerance of corals to bleaching (2009, background): “…the upregulation of antioxidant enzymes (Lesser, 1996; Lesser and Farrell, 2004; Lesser, 2006), host energy reserve utilization (Porter et al.,1989; Grottoli et al., 2004, 2006), and heterotrophic plasticity (Grotolli et al., 2006)—all presumably have underlying influences on any response to…”
Zooplanktivory ameliorates the effects of ocean acidification on the reef coral Porites spp (2011, background): “Feeding on Artemia spp. augmented biomass and Symbiodinium content of massive Porites spp. in a way similar to that occurring in scleractinians during cooler months (Fitt et al. 2000), and when some bleached corals feed on zooplankton (Grottoli et al. 2006).”
Connectivity and stability of mesophotic coral reefs (2011, background): “At least one scleractinian coral has been shown to complement the reduction of symbiotic photosynthetic activity after bleaching by increasing heterotrophic feeding (Grottoli et al., 2006), and there is a continuing debate on the relative contribution of photoautotrophy versus heterotrophy based on ”
Heterotrophy in Tropical Scleractinian Corals (2009, methodology): “…to feed on zooplankton has been quantified using several methodologies (Coles, 1969; Johannes et al., 1970; Porter, 1974, 1976; Lewis & Price, 1975; Lewis, 1976; Sebens & Johnson, 1991; Helmuth & Sebens, 1993; Sebens et al., 1996, 1997, 1998; Palardy et al., 2005, 2006; Grottoli et al., 2006).”
