Impact of feeding and short-term temperature stress on the content and isotopic signature of fatty acids, sterols, and alcohols in the scleractinian coral Turbinaria reniformis (2011, background): “A decrease in the total lipid concentrations (Rodrigues and Grottoli 2007), or in concentrations of triacylglycerol and wax esters (Grottoli et al.”
Diversity and functional importance of coral‐feeding fishes on tropical coral reefs (2008, background): “Montipora capitata) can increase heterotrophic feeding during bleaching events to maintain energy reserves (Grottoli et al. 2006; Rodrigues and Grottoli 2007).”
Lipid class composition of bleached and recovering Porites compressa Dana, 1846 and Montipora capitata Dana, 1846 corals from Hawaii (2008, background): “capitata, total lipid recovery has previously been demonstrated at 4 months (Rodrigues and Grottoli, 2007).”
Can heterotrophic uptake of dissolved organic carbon and zooplankton mitigate carbon budget deficits in annually bleached corals? (2016, background): “For example, singly bleached corals Montipora capitata and Porites astreoides increase their zooplankton consumption and can meet more than 100 %of theirmetabolic demand (heterotrophically plastic), thus replenishing or maintaining energy reserves during bleaching events (Grottoli et al. 2006; Rodri”
Upside-Down but Headed in the Right Direction: Review of the Highly Versatile Cassiopea xamachana System (2018, background): “In some coral species, a shift from photosynthesis to heterotrophy may be triggered by thermal stress; this trophic switching is believed to enhance host survival in the event of bleaching events (Rodrigues and Grottoli, 2007; Anthony et al., 2009).”
Heterotrophy in Tropical Scleractinian Corals (2009, background): “…recovery have a significantly better capacity to maintain and restore energy reserves (as lipids, carbohydrates and proteins) (Grottoli et al., 2006, Rodrigues & Grottoli, 2007) compared to species like Porites compressa, which are largely dependent on photosynthetically fixed carbon (Rodrigues &…”
The importance of zooplankton to the daily metabolic carbon requirements of healthy and bleached corals at two depths (2008, methodology): “At the end of an identical tank experiment in 2003, zooxanthellae concentrations in bleached P. compressa decreased to 14% of control levels but did not change significantly in M. capitata (Rodrigues and Grottoli, 2007).”
Energetics approach to predicting mortality risk from environmental stress: a case study of coral bleaching (2009, background): “Whether a coral survives or dies from a bleaching event is likely to be determined largely by the dynamics of its energy stores, ES(t) (Grottoli et al. 2006; Anthony et al. 2007; Rodrigues & Grottoli 2007).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “Heterotrophic plasticity may also help corals survive bleaching, and studies in Hawaii have shown that a coral species (Montipora capitata) capable of increasing heterotrophic feeding when bleached survives high temperature stress better than a species that relies on photosynthetically fixed carbon ”
The physiological response of reef corals to diel fluctuations in seawater temperature (2011, background): “This might be accomplished by exploiting tissues reserves (Rodrigues and Grottoli, 2007), and/or alternative heterotrophic resources (Anthony and Fabricius, 2000), or by differentially exploiting the Symbiodinium remaining, and sustaining calcification through still poorly known linkages with photop”
