Phase shifts and the role of herbivory in the resilience of coral reefs (2007, background): “While some reef fishes are obligate coral feeders ( Kokita and Nakazono 2001; Pratchett et al. 2004) others, notably several species of scarids, consume live coral in addition to other resources (Bellwood and Choat 1990; Bythell et al. 1993; Rotjan and Lewis 2005).”
Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…fishes have the most apparent and direct reliance on live corals (Randall 1974) and are consistently among the worst-affected fishes following extensive coral loss (e.g., bouchon-Navaro et al. 1985, Williams 1986, Kokita & Nakazono 2001, Pratchett et al. 2006, Wilson et al. 2006, Figure 2).”
DEPAUPERATION OF THE MUSHROOM CORAL FAUNA (FUNGIIDAE) OF SINGAPORE (1860s-2006) IN CHANGING REEF CONDITIONS (2009, background): “A bleaching event at Okinawa in 1998, for instance, may have wiped out a local population of a corallivorous filefish species when their feeding territories were depleted of Acropora corals (Kokita & Nakazono, 2001).”
Climate change and the future for coral reef fishes (2008, background): “…10% of coral reef fishes can be classified as coral dependent (Pratchett et al. 2008) and these species are the ones most immediately affected by coral loss (Kokita and Nakazono 2000; Spalding and Jarvis 2002; Halford et al. 2004; Munday 2004; Bellwood et al. 2006; Pratchett et al. 2006).”
“Sublethal effects of coral bleaching on an obligate coral feeding butterflyfish” (2004, background): “…to killing zooxanthellate corals, severe large-scale bleaching events may cause significant declines in the abundance of coral reef fishes, particularly among reef fish species that depend on live coral for food or shelter (Shibuno et al. 1999; Kokita and Nakazono 2001; Adjeroud et al. 2002).”
Coral bleaching, reef fish community phase shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2006, background): “…to the loss of corals through large-scale crown of thorns starfish outbreaks (Williams, 1986; Hart et al., 1996; Sano, 2000) and coral bleaching (Kokita & Nakazono, 2001; Booth & Correspondence: David Bellwood, School of Marine Biology, James Cook University, Townsville, Qld 4811, Australia,…”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Obligate corallivores, species in the families Gobiidae, Pomacentridae, Monacanthidae and Chaetodontidae, generally die within weeks of the disappearance of their coral prey and habitat niche (Spalding and Jarvis, 1998; Shibuno et al., 1999, 2002; Kokita and Nakazono, 2001; Sano, 2004).”
Long-term effects of the 1998 coral bleaching event on reef fish assemblages (2006, background): “Similarly, there is substantial evidence of the detrimental effects of coral degradation on the abundance and diversity of coral feeding taxa (Sano et al. 1984, 1987, Williams 1986, Lewis 1997, Kokita & Nakazono 2001, McClanahan et al. 2002b, Spalding & Jarvis 2002, Halford et al. 2004, Sano 2004).”
Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “It is possible, however that fishes that do not exhibit immediate and pronounced changes in abundance are nonetheless negatively affected by severe coral loss, whereby coral loss leads to declines in growth or condition [100,101].”
