Crustose Coralline Algae: A Re-evaluation in the Geological Sciences
Walter H. Adey,Ian G. Macintyre +1 more
TL;DR: The crustose coralline algae are well known in shallow tropical waters as reef frame-builders and sediment producers as mentioned in this paper, but this knowledge in recent decades has been largely ignored by geologists and marine scientists in general.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review—coral reefs: algal structured and mediated ecosystems in shallow, turbulent, alkaline waters
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral Reef Morphogenesis: A Multidimensional Model
TL;DR: Growth potentials of Caribbean and Indo-Pacific reefs are probably equivalent, but major differences are probably not due to biological or direct climatic factors but are in part related to differing patterns of sea level rise resulting from Holocene crustal adjustment.
Book
The crustose coralline algae (Rhodophyta, Corallinaceae) of the Hawaiian Islands
TL;DR: Crustose corallines were collected from a wide range of depths (intertidal to about 300 m) throughout the Hawaiian Archipelago, and a total of 25 species in 10 genera are recognized on the basis of habit, anatomy, morphology, and ecology, including one new genus and 10 new species.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of micrograzers on algal community structure in a coral reef microcosm
Susan H. Brawley,Walter H. Adey +1 more
TL;DR: The potential for increasing the productivity of commercial seaweeds through maintenance of appropriate amphipod species in mariculture facilities is stressed, and it is suggested that amphipods and similar micrograzers are responsible for the algal community structure of these ridges.
