Effects of the alien coral Tubastraea tagusensis on native coral assemblages in a southwestern Atlantic coral reef (2016, background): “2005), these impacts may represent the loss of ecological function and services (Micheli et al. 2014; Pratchett et al. 2014).”
Thirty Years of Research on Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (1986–2016): Scientific Advances and Emerging Opportunities (2017, background): “However, it is now unequivocal that reef ecosystems with very limited (<10%) cover of reef-building corals support a fraction of the species found in coral-rich habitats [220], which has significant consequences for ecosystem function and productivity.”
