Bleaching in reef corals: Physiological and stable isotopic responses
Open accessAbstract
During the late summer to fall of 1987, Caribbean reef corals experienced an intense and widespread discoloration event described as bleaching. Contrary to initial predictions, most bleached corals did not die. However, energy input from zooxanthellae decreased, as estimated from: ( i ) δ 13 C values, a measure of the discrimination against 13 C in 12 C/ 13 C assimilation, of skeletal aragonite; ( ii ) in situ photosynthesis-irradiance measurements; ( iii ) and tissue biomass parameters of Montastraea annularis and Agaricia lamarcki . The δ 18 O signal, a measure of the discrimination against 18 O in 16 O/ 18 O assimilation, from M. annularis skeletons demonstrated that this event coincided with abnormally elevated water temperatures.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
