Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “To what degree coral-dependent species will shift their resource use if preferred coral habitats decline is unknown (e.g., Pratchett et al. 2004) but it is clear that at least some species are strict specialists that use only a narrow range of coral types (e.g., Munday 2004a, berumen & Pratchett…”
Climate change and the future for coral reef fishes (2008, background): “Loss of coral can have serious effects on the growth (Kokita and Nakazono 2000) and body condition (Pratchett et al. 2004) of corallivorous species, which will probably flow on to the reproductive success of the population.”
Declines in the abundance of Chaetodon butterflyfishes following extensive coral depletion (2006, background): “Prey switching has been documented previously among generalist butterflyfishes (Pratchett et al., 2004) and is fundamental in delaying or mitigating effects of prey depletion.”
Trade-offs associated with dietary specialization in corallivorous butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae: Chaetodon) (2008, background): “2005; Pratchett 2005), and can withstand major alterations in prey availability through prey-switching (Pratchett et al. 2004).”
Long-term effects of the 1998 coral bleaching event on reef fish assemblages (2006, background): “Conversely, Pratchett et al. (2004) found no decrease in the abundance of butterflyfish, but nevertheless demonstrated sublethal alterations in physiological condition, possibly affecting abundances in a longer temporal perspective.”
Coral mortality versus structural collapse as drivers of corallivorous butterflyfish decline (2009, background): “Generalist corallivores, which are capable of feeding on a wide range of different coral species, may however, temporally delay population declines associated with feeding on sub-optimal coral prey (Pratchett et al. 2004).”
Within-reef differences in diet and body condition of coral-feeding butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) (2005, background): “…than carbohydrate) is the favoured energy reserve of fishes and the liver is the first site of lipid deposition; therefore, liver lipid content provides a very sensitive measure of the physiological condition and subsequent fitness of individual fish (Green & McCormick 1999, Pratchett et al. 2004).”
DIETARY SELECTION BY CORAL-FEEDING BUTTERFLYFISHES (CHAETODONTIDAE) ON THE GREAT BARRIER REEF, AUSTRALIA (2007, background): “Further, the specific feeding preferences of coral-feeding butterflyfishes may influence their responses to major disturbance events (e.g., climateinduced coral bleaching) that cause extensive depletion of corals (Pratchett et al., 2004).”
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.”
Coral bleaching, reef fish community phase shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2006, background): “…Hart et al., 1996; Sano, 2000; Kokita & Nakazono, 2001; Booth & Beretta, 2002; Halford et al., 2004) may, at least in part, reflect the ability of adults of long-lived species to withstand disturbance (by movement among habitats, using stored reserves or prey switching, Pratchett et al., 2004).”
Multiple disturbances and the global degradation of coral reefs: are reef fishes at risk or resilient? (2006, background): “…may be limiting the abundance of fishes, (ii) specialization vs. versatility in the resource requirements of coraldependent fishes and (iii) the capacity of fishes to persist despite major reductions in essential resources, which is apparent from sublethal responses (e.g. Pratchett et al., 2004).”
Recovery without resilience: persistent disturbance and long-term shifts in the structure of fish and coral communities at Tiahura Reef, Moorea (2006, background): “…in the abundance of C. pelewensis and C. reticulatus at Tiahura Reef support these diVerences in their prey preferences, and diVerences in the availability of preferred prey may account for the changes in their relative abundance through time (see Pratchett et al. 2004; Berumen et al. 2005).”
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].”
