Indirect paleo-seagrass indicators (IPSIs): A review
2015, Earth-Science ReviewsCitation Excerpt :Pending further discoveries in the fossil record, where the bioimmured epiphyte helps identification of the substratum, such records cannot be regarded as generally useful IPSIs. In modern seagrass meadows: Shallow-water seagrass beds in the Caribbean have a characteristic associated coral community including the free-living Manicina areolata (Fig. 5A) and Siderastrea radians (Lewis, 1989; Johnson, 1992) as well as attached forms (Cladocora arbuscula, Porites divaricata). Free-living Meandrina braziliensis are found in seagrass meadows off Brazil (Laborel, 1967).
Environmental impacts of dredging and other sediment disturbances on corals: A review
2012, Marine Pollution BulletinCitation Excerpt :Furthermore, if a free-living mushroom coral is at risk of dying because of sedimentation, it may survive by budding, a mechanism of asexual reproduction in which an adult coral generates clonal polyps that continue to live after the parent coral’s death. This mechanism may result in coral aggregations (Gilmour, 2002, 2004; Hoeksema, 2004), but high densities of free-living corals in sediment-rich habitats may also be the result of sexual reproduction to spread the risk of burial and subsequent mortality (Johnson, 1992). Important for sediment rejection is the production of mucus sheets (Coffroth, 1990; Rogers, 1990; Stafford-Smith, 1993).
The Functional Value of Caribbean Coral Reef, Seagrass and Mangrove Habitats to Ecosystem Processes
2006, Advances in Marine BiologyCitation Excerpt :In Curaçao, densities of juvenile corals were 16.8 m−2 (shallow terrace, 3–9 m), 12.9 m−2 (dropoff, 9–17 m), 13.7 m−2 (upper slope, 17–26 m) and 17.9 m−2 (lower slope, 26–37 m) (Bak and Engel, 1979). Mean recruitment of Manicina areolata to a series of Thalassia testudinum–dominated carbonate reef flats in Panama was 1.62 m−2 (Johnson, 1992). Data on recruitment density to natural substrata are scarce and generally restricted to forereef habitats.
