Coral Reef Bioerosion in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

, 2017
Bioerosion, the weakening and erosion of hard substrates by boring, etching, and grazing organisms, is a major structuring force on coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP).

Development, survival and description of the life stages of Zatrephina lineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) fed on Ipomoea pes-caprae leaves [PDF]

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Zatrephina lineata (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) is a phytophagous insect, mainly of plants of the genera Ipomoea and Mikania. The objective was to study the development, survival and to describe the life stages of Z.

Quantitative Estimates of Bio-Remodeling on Coastal Rock Surfaces

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016
Remodeling of rocky coasts and erosion rates have been widely studied in past years, but not all the involved processes acting over rocks surface have been quantitatively evaluated yet.

Bioerosive and bioprotective role of barnacles on rocky shores

Science of The Total Environment, 2018
Bioerosion and bioprotection (bio-remodeling) is the action exerted by biota colonizing rocky shores. It represents an important component among processes responsible for shaping coastal landforms, and a clear evidence of interaction between the biosphere and the solid earth.

Bioerosion measurements as preserved area state relative to the initial state over time in a controlled experimental setting

This dataset, provided as supplementary material, documents the dissolution susceptibility of Globigerinoides ruber (lumping G. ruber albus and G. elongatus) tests in relation to bioerosion drill holes.

Friend of the dead: Zoanthids enhance the persistence of dead coral reef framework under high consumer pressure

Ecosphere
Consumers can play critical roles in ecosystem resilience by modifying community resistance and recovery rates. In coral reefs, grazers can increase reef resilience by controlling algae and maintaining open space for coral recruitment, but can also erode

Reconstruction of Diadema mexicanum bioerosion impact on three Costa Rican Pacific coral reefs

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012
The 1982-83 El Niño event produced a high coral mortality (50-90%) in several localities in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, which resulted in an outbreak of the sea urchin populations of Diadema mexicanum A.

Taming an ichnotaxonomical Pandora's box: revision of dendritic and rosetted microborings (ichnofamily: Dendrinidae)

European Journal of Taxonomy, 2017
Dendritic and/or rosetted microborings in calcareous and osteic skeletal substrates have a diverse trace fossil record, spanning most of the Phanerozoic, whereas the ichnodiversity of comparable bioerosion traces produced in modern seas is rather limited.
