Effects of temperature, light and heterotrophy on the growth rate and budding of the temperate coral Cladocora caespitosa (2008, background): “Heterotrophy also has been found to enhance skeletal growth (Wellington 1982; Lasker et al. 1983; Anthony and Fabricius 2000; Ferrier-Pagès et al. 2003; Houlbreque et al. 2003, 2004b), particularly for tropical corals living in turbid water (Anthony and Fabricius 2000).”
Is the response of coral calcification to seawater acidification related to nutrient loading? (2011, background): “pistillata, due to a dramatic increase in protein content of the fed colonies versus starved ones (Houlbrèque et al. 2003).”
Effect of Naturally Changing Zooplankton Concentrations on Feeding Rates of Two Coral Species in the Eastern Pacific (2006, background): “It is believed that heterotrophic inputs are necessary for maximal coral growth (Wellington, 1982; Miller, 1995; Houlbrèque et al., 2003), with isotopic evidence indicating that as much as 66% of the fixed carbon in coral skeletons can come from these inputs (Grottoli and Wellington, 1999).”
Importance of a micro-diet for scleractinian corals (2004, methodology): “In the species Stylophora pistillata, maintained under our laboratory conditions (350 µmol photons m–2 s–1), the amount of carbon provided by photosynthesis was estimated to be equal to 4773 ng C mg–1 protein h–1 (Houlbrèque et al. 2003).”
Coral calcification responds to seawater acidification: a working hypothesis towards a physiological mechanism (2008, methodology): “Electrodes were calibrated against air-saturated (100%) and sodium dithionite saturated (zero oxygen) incubation media (Houlbrèque et al. 2003).”
Effects of Upwelling, Depth, Morphology and Polyp Size on Feeding in Three Species of Panamanian Corals (2005, background): “Corals are known carnivores, and several studies have shown that many species of corals are active heterotrophs (Yonge & Nicholls 1931, Coles 1969, Wellington 1982, Sebens et al. 1996, Grottoli 2002, Holbrèque et al. 2003).”
Nutritional status and metabolism of the coral Stylophora subseriata along a eutrophication gradient in Spermonde Archipelago (Indonesia) (2011, methodology): “…may support calcification directly (e.g., increased amount of biomass and consequently enzymes that are involved in calcification) or indirectly by supporting zooxanthellae functioning (Allemand et al. 1998; Furla et al. 2000; Houlbrèque et al. 2003; Houlbrèque and Ferrier-Pagès 2008).”
Calcification and organic production on a Hawaiian coral reef (2011, unknown): “For example, heterotrophic feeding by corals has been shown to enhance calcification rates in the light and dark and to help maintain high calcification rates during times of stress, including under elevated pCO2 conditions (Cohen and Holcomb, 2009; Ferrier-Pages et al., 2003; Houlbreque and Ferrier”
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): “This water contained very few particles (Houlbrèque et al. 2003).”
Recent advances in the ecology of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (2014, background): “, 80 mmol photons m s ) do not always exhibit different rates of photosynthesis between fed and starved colonies [70].”
The importance of zooplankton to the daily metabolic carbon requirements of healthy and bleached corals at two depths (2008, background): “Although healthy corals acquire fixed carbon from both heterotrophic and autotrophic sources, it is generally accepted that the majority of the carbon utilized by healthy corals is fixed by photosynthetic zooxanthellae (Muscatine and Porter, 1977; Grottoli and Wellington, 1999; Lesser et al., 2000; ”
