Trophic and benthic responses to no-take marine reserve protection in the Philippines. (2009, background): “A few field studies have shown evidence of reduced macroalgal cover associated with increases in herbivore abundance in reserves and fisheries management zones (McClanahan et al. 2001, Williams & Polunin 2001, Mumby et al. 2006).”
Shifting Baselines, Local Impacts, and Global Change on Coral Reefs (2008, background): “Fish biomass on remote, uninhabited, and protected atolls in the Central Pacific Ocean and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands is several times to more than an order of magnitude greater than that on well-studied reefs in the Western Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, and Caribbean Sea, most of which are unprot”
Distributions of stress-resistant coral symbionts match environmental patterns at local but not regional scales (2009, background): “Researchers have documented variation in bleaching sensitivity across distinct coral species (McClanahan et al. 2001, 2007), and 2 studies have seen differences in thermal tolerance among members of a coral species that could be due to genetic differences (Smith-Keune & van Oppen 2006, Ulstrup et…”
Monitoring functional groups of herbivorous reef fishes as indicators of coral reef resilience : a practical guide for coral reef managers in the Asia Pacific region (2009, background): “Factors that play an important role in controlling algal communities include herbivory, nutrients, physical disturbance, substratum type, available space and algal recruitment dynamics (Steneck 1988, McClanahan et al 2001, 2003, McCook et al 2001, Fabricius 2004, Hughes et al 2007).”
The status of coral reef ecology research in the Red Sea (2013, background): “…prevalence of anthropogenic and climateinduced disturbance and subsequent collapse of several reef systems from coral-to macroalgal dominance highlighted the critical importance of herbivory and brought this research area to the fore (Hughes 1994; McClanahan et al. 2001; Bellwood et al. 2004).”
Resilience of coral communities on an isolated system of reefs following catastrophic mass-bleaching (2008, background): “By far the most abundant (>80% cover) species of soft coral were in the family Alcyoniidae, which have had high levels of impact following bleaching events on other Indian Ocean reefs (McClanahan et al. 2001; Floros et al. 2004).”
Phase shifts and the role of herbivory in the resilience of coral reefs (2007, background): “…0HT, UK J. Hardcastle Nature Seychelles, The Centre for Environment and Education, P.O. Box 1310, Roche Caiman, Mahé, Seychelles The loss of live coral cover following disturbances such as bleaching is often accompanied by a proliferation of macroalgae (McClanahan et al. 2001; Graham et al. 2006).”
Effects of benthic algae on the replenishment of corals and the implications for the resilience of coral reefs (2008, background): “…space on coral reefs, commencing with diatoms, microbes and cyanobacteria, then simple filamentous algae and ccA, followed by more complex filamentous turfs and perhaps by larger, more robust algal types (Mcclanahan 2000, Mcclanahan et al. 2001, Diaz-pulido & Mccook 2002, Diaz-pulido et al. 2007a).”
Differential competitive abilities between Caribbean coral species and a brown alga: a year of experiments and a long-term perspective (2006, background): “…on Caribbean reefs (Williams et al. 2001a,b) and evidence that coral bleaching and disease have precipitated dramatic ecological shifts at several reef locations worldwide (Ostrander et al. 2000, Aronson & Pretch 2001, McClanahan et al. 2001, Diaz-Pulido & McCook 2002, Aronson et al. 2004).”
Mortality, growth and reproduction in scleractinian corals following bleaching on the Great barrier Reef (2002, background): “The response and recovery of the 4 species examined reveal that the bleaching phenomenon is highly dynamic (see also McClanahan et al. 2001).”
Immediate and delayed effects of a mass mortality event on gorgonian population dynamics and benthic community structure in the NW Mediterranean Sea (2005, background): “In spite of this potential for long lasting effects, most assessments of the impact of mass mortality events, especially of bleaching events, have been conducted immediately after the event or only over short observation periods (McClanahan et al. 2001, Baird & Marshall 2002).”
Recovery of coral populations after the 1998 bleaching on Shiraho Reef, in the southern Ryukyus, NW Pacific (2002, background): “…to bleaching and have a higher mortality than the massive species of Porites and Favia, which are more tolerant of bleaching (Fisk & Done 1985, Harriott 1985, Brown & Suharsono 1990, Gleason 1993, Hoegh-Guldberg & Salvat 1995, Marshall & Baird 2000, McClanahan 2000, McClanahan et al. 2001).”
The fate of bleached corals: patterns and dynamics of algal recruitment (2002, background): “Coral mortality was widespread, both regionally and globally (Baird & Marshall 1998, Berkelmans & Oliver 1999, Wilkinson 2000, McClanahan et al. 2001, authors’ pers. obs.).”
Turf wars: competition between foundation and turf-forming species on temperate and tropical reefs and its role in regime shifts (2018, background): “…direct contact with coral colonies compared to other major functional groups of benthic reef organisms (Barott et al. 2012b, Wild et al. 2014, Jorissen et al. 2016) and rapidly colonize space following large-scale coral mortality (McClanahan et al. 2001, Adjeroud et al. 2009, Mellin et al. 2016).”
