• Particulate nutrient fluxes over a fringing coral reef: relevant scales of phytoplankton production and mechanisms of supply (2010, background): “…(Risk et al. 1994, Umezawa et al. 2002), N fixation (in adjacent waters, within reef sediments and by symbionts; D’Elia & Wiebe 1990, Sammarco et al. 1999, Lesser et al. 2007) and internal wave activity (Wolanski & Delesalle 1995, Leichter et al. 1998, 2003) all require further consideration.”
• Bacterial assemblages differ between compartments within the coral holobiont (2011, background): “For example, bacterial associates of corals may be important in nutrient cycling (Wild et al. 2004, 2009; Naumann et al. 2009), N-fixation (Lesser et al. 2007a) and antibacterial activity (Ritchie Communicated by Biology Editor Dr. Ruth Gates M.
