5. 3. Upholding the coral loop : Resilience, alternative stable states and feedbacks in coral reefs

   Author : Albert Norström; Magnus Nyström; Nancy Knowlton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resilience; alternative stable states; regimes; feedbacks; recruitment; coral reefs; marine ecosystem management; regime shifts; phase shifts; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

6. 4. Benthic cryptofauna and internal bioeroders on coral reefs

   Author : Helena Strömberg; Charlotta Kvarnemo; Pat Hutchings; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; bioerosion; cryptofauna; coral; invertebrates; damselfish; Terrestrial; freshwater and marine ecology; Terrestisk; limnisk och marin ekologi;

   Abstract : The cryptofauna of coral reefs may act as a food source for fish, while being grazers or predators themselves, and hence constitute an important group in the coral reef food web. In addition, the actively eroding taxa of the cryptofauna contribute to the decomposition and recirculation of calcium carbonate and are consequently essential for the rebuilding new coral.
