Evidence is provided that algae and cyanobacteria use tactics beyond space occupation to inhibit coral recruitment, thereby perpetuating reduced coral cover and limiting coral community recovery on reefs experiencing phase shifts or tempo- rary algal blooms.
New perspectives on ecological mechanisms affecting coral recruitment on reefs

This review summarizes existing information on ecological factors affecting scleractinian coral recruitment and suggests that further research on fertilization ecology, connectivity, larval condition, positive and negative cues influencing substrate selection, and post-settlement ecology will be critical to manage these diverse ecosystems for recovery.

Effects of herbivore exclusion and nutrient enrichment on coral reef macroalgae and cyanobacteria
- R. Thacker, D. Ginsburg, V. Paul
- Environmental ScienceCoral reefs
- 1 May 2001
It is suggested that the relative palatabilities of dominant algae, as well as algal growth responses to nutrient enrichment, will determine the potential for phase shifts to algal-dominated communities.
The biogeography of polyphenolic compounds in marine macroalgae: temperate brown algal defenses deter feeding by tropical herbivorous fishes
- K. L. Alstyne, V. Paul
- Environmental ScienceOecologia
- 1 September 1990
It is hypothesized that tropical brown algae do not use phenolic compounds as antiherbivore defenses because these compounds are not effective deterrents against tropical fish, and they are not used by Guamanian brown algae.
