• Propagation of the threatened staghorn coral Acropora cervicornis: methods to minimize the impacts of fragment collection and maximize production (2010, background): “From a fragment-survivorship perspective, it is clearly better to collect larger fragments to minimize fragment mortality (Bowden-Kerby 1997, 2001; Raymundo and Maypa 2004; Okubo et al. 2005; Forsman et al. 2006).”
• Effect of macroalgal competition on growth and survival of juvenile Caribbean corals (2007, background): “Small corals have a smaller reservoir of energy to invest in competitive interactions and are more vulnerable to whole colony mortality than larger individuals (Zilberberg & Edmunds 2001, Raymundo & Maypa 2003).”
• Coral propagation: a review of techniques for ornamental trade and reef restoration (2017, background): “Fusion is the process in which two or more adjacent coral colonies of the same species begin to grow together, sharing resources (Buss 1982; Rinkevich & Weissman 1992; Raymundo & Maypa 2004; Puill-Stephan et al. 2012a).”
• Closing the circle: is it feasible to rehabilitate reefs with sexually propagated corals? (2013, background): “…to the timing of outplant (e.g. temperature, seasonal storms), numerous other studies have shown mortality risk in corals to be strongly related to colony size, with smaller corals tending to be more vulnerable (Babcock 1991; Smith and Hughes 1999; Raymundo and Maypa 2004; Vermeij and Sandin 2008).”
• Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “3m,n) and occasionally form natural chimeras (Amar et al. 2008, dela Cruz & Harrison 2017), which can rapidly increase the size of the juvenile by an order of magnitude, and accelerate growth to the sizeescape threshold (Raymundo & Maypa 2004, Doropoulos et al. 2012b, 2018, Suzuki et al. 2012).”
