• Deciphering Coral Disease Dynamics: Integrating Host, Microbiome, and the Changing Environment (2020, background): “Coral colonies followed through time during this event showed that the bleaching-compromised state of the host, vs. environmental impacts on pathogens, was the likely driver of disease incidence and severity during this event (Muller et al., 2008; Brandt and McManus, 2009).”
• Species composition, habitat, and water quality influence coral bleaching in southern Florida. (2010, background): “Other experimental studies have shown a link between temperature, light, coral bleaching, and diseases (Muller et al. 2008, Muller & van Woesik 2009).”
• Coral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands (2009, background): “Furthermore, during the 2005 Caribbean coralbleaching event, on a section of Tektite Reef USVI, Whelan et al. (2007) documented that mortality in Porites porites was from bleaching; however, Colpophyllia natans bleached before dying from white plague.”
• Relationship between symbiont density and photosynthetic carbon acquisition in the temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa (2010, background): “…is the potential for the breakdown of the coral-zooxanthellae symbiosis to cause colony mortality (Marshall and Baird 2000; Loya et al. 2001), heighten the susceptibility of corals to disease (e.g., Muller et al. 2008) and reduce the future reproductive output of colonies (Baird and Marshall 2002).”
• Caribbean Corals in Crisis: Record Thermal Stress, Bleaching, and Mortality in 2005 (2010, background): “also revealed that bleached corals suffered greater diseaseassociated mortality than unbleached colonies, indicating that disease severity was dependent on host susceptibility [13].”
• Strong relationship between coral bleaching and growth anomalies in massive Porites (2009, background): “White plague and Caribbean yellow band diseases outbreaks occurred during and right after the 2005 mass-bleaching event in the Caribbean producing extensive coral mortality in many reef localities (Miller et al., 2006; Muller et al., 2008; E. Weil, personal observation).”
