• Sexual production of corals for reef restoration in the Anthropocene (2020, background): “…techniques, whereby corals are fragmented or microfragmented (asexually) and outplanted onto degraded reefs or artificial reef structures (Bowden-Kerby 2003, Rinkevich 2005, 2008, Forsman et al. 2006, 2015, Shaish et al. 2010, Johnson et al. 2011, Young et al. 2012, Lirman & Schop meyer 2016).”
• Fixed and suspended coral nurseries in the Philippines: Establishing the first step in the “gardening concept” of reef restoration (2008, background): “Unfortunately, passive rehabilitation measures and traditional management acts have proven to be insufficient or ineffective in ameliorating long-term damage and have failed to yield quantifiable returns or suitable responses to key anthropogenic threats (Edwards and Clark, 1998; Yap et al., 1998; L”
• 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).”
• Coral restoration research and technical developments: what we have learned so far (2019, background): “Forsman et al. (2006) farmed small fragments of Porites lobata Dana, 1846 and P. compressa Dana, 1846 in aquaria and indicated that size-specific mortality was reduced by the nursery conditions.”
