Bioerosion on shore platforms developed in the Waitemata Formation, Auckland

open access: yes, 1968
Bioerosion - the removal of lithic substrate by the erosive activities of living organisms- has not previously been discussed for New Zealand shore platforms.

Mesophotic bioerosion: Variability and structural impact on U.S. Virgin Island deep reefs

open access: yes, 2014
Mesophotic reef corals, found 30–150m below sea level, build complex structures that provide habitats for diverse ecosystems. Whereas bioerosion is known to impact the development and persistence of shallow reef structures, little is known regarding the ...

Incorporating parrotfish bioerosion into the herbivory paradigm of coral reef resilience

open access: yesConservation Letters
Promoting resilience is highly relevant to preserving biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. For coral reefs, parrotfish protection emerged as a mainstream action for reversing the degradation experienced by these systems.

With or Without Nutrients, Sponges Are Boring: The Effects of Eutrophication on Bioerosion

open access: yes, 2017
Eutrophication, largely due to coastal development and human activities, is an ongoing issue for coastal ecosystems. Excess nutrients can impact ecosystem processes, promote the occurrence of algal blooms, and decrease the overall water quality.

Constraining species-size class variability in rates of parrotfish bioerosion on Maldivian coral reefs: implications for regional-scale bioerosion estimates (article)

open access: yes, 2018
Parrotfish are important bioeroders on coral reefs, and thus influence reef carbonate budgets and generate large volumes of carbonate sand that contribute to local beach and reef island maintenance.

Bioerosion in Acropora across the continental shelf of the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yes, 1995
. The degree of internal bioerosion was examined in the dead basal portions of live branches of the scleractinian coral Acropora formosa collected from six reefs across the continental shelf in the central region of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia. The

Internal bioerosion of in situ living and dead corals on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

open access: yes, 1994
This thesis reports on a series of sampling and experimental studies aimed at quantifying the extent of internal bioerosion by four major groups of boring organisms in in situ coral substrates.

The influences of diurnal variability and ocean acidification on the bioerosion rates of two reef-dwelling Caribbean sponges

open access: yes, 2022
Ocean acidification (OA) is expected to modify the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems by reducing calcification, increasing bioerosion, and altering the physiology of many marine organisms. Much of our understanding of these relationships is

A novel ?CT analysis reveals different responses of bioerosion and secondary accretion to environmental variability

open access: yes, 2016
Corals build reefs through accretion of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) skeletons, but net reef growth also depends on bioerosion by grazers and borers and on secondary calcification by crustose coralline algae and other calcifying invertebrates.
