The limited role of herbivorous fishes and turf-based trophic pathways in the functioning of turbid coral reefs
Herbivorous fishes, and the productivity of algal turfs, are widely viewed as central to the
functioning of coral reefs. This understanding is largely based on clear-water reefs. Our …

Variation of micro-morphological features and possible adaptation strategies of platy-laminar corals Echinopora lamellosa and E. pacificus to turbidity stress in …
MIA Ghafari, AHM Kamal, MH Idris - Coral Reefs, 2024 - Springer
Platy-laminar corals have miraculously been reported as sedimentation-tolerant, though
their morphology could naturally allow undesirable surface sedimentation. In this paper, we …

Coral physiology and performance across varied turbidity and temperature gradients
A Zweifler - 2024 - research-repository.uwa.edu.au
Recently, scientists observed that coral reefs in turbid waters are less prone to bleaching
than their clear-water counterparts and are, therefore, potentially more resilient to rising sea …
