The authors studied removal rates of bacteria and the regeneration of inorganic nutrients in coral reef cavities in the reef slope of Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. We found that in cavities the hard substratum surface area (=ca 68% of cavity surface area) is 65% covered with sessile filter feeders. The cryptic cavity surface area exceeds the projected surface area of the reef by 1.5–8 times. Consequently,...
Three species of the reef coral genus Madracis display skeletal isotopic characteristics that relate to depth, colony topography, and consequently to coral physiology. The joint interpretation of skeletal 13C and 18O provides information on the ecological plasticity and adaptation to depth of a coral species. Isotopic results are most easily understood in terms of kinetic effects, which reduce both...
