In situ growth and bioerosion rates of Lophelia pertusa in a Norwegian fjord and open shelf cold-water coral habitat [PDF]
Coral reef resilience depends on the balance between carbonate precipitation, leading to reef growth, and carbonate degradation, for example, through bioerosion.

Bioerosión de Sustrato Rocoso por Erizos en Bahía Málaga (Colombia), Pacífico Tropical
Los erizos desempeñan un papel importante en el proceso de erosión de sustratos duros del bentos marino. Además de contribuir a la desintegración del sustrato, este proceso proporciona espacio para el asentamiento de epifauna y puede incrementar la ...

Combined Effects of Experimental Acidification and Eutrophication on Reef Sponge Bioerosion Rates
Health of tropical coral reefs depends largely on the balance between constructive (calcification and cementation) and destructive forces (mechanical-chemical degradation).

Bioerosion on the small scale – examples from the tropical and subtropical littoral [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to provide a practical guide assisting field workers in identification and interpretation of bioerosional textures created in limestone and other substrates by intertidal organisms.

Parasitic gastropod bioerosion trace fossil on Cenomanian oysters from Le Mans, France and its ichnologic and taphonomic context [PDF]
We describe and name Loxolenichnus stellatocinctus Breton and Wisshak igen. et isp. nov., a bioerosion trace fossil on an Upper Cenomanian oyster from Le Mans (France). This trace is attributed here to a parasitic gastropod.

Epipsammic Diatom Cocconesis sp. as New Bioeroder in Scleractinian Coral
Highlight Research • The endolithic bioeroders were identified. • Cocconeis sp. was new for the science of euendolithic bioeroder of Scleractinian coral. • SEM revealed Cocconeis sp. etch and bore of coral skeleton.

Bioerosion Research in the South China Sea: Scarce, Patchy and Unrepresentative
Coral reefs are in decline globally, resulting in changed constructive and destructive processes. The South China Sea is a marginal sea that is of high biological importance, but also subjected to extreme local and global pressures.

Photosynthetically stimulated bioerosion in symbiotic sponges : the role of glycerol and oxygen [PDF]
On coral reefs, some of the most aggressive calcium carbonate eroders are dinoflagellate-hosting sponges of the genus Cliona. Like in other marine taxa, the influence of these symbiotic microorganisms on the metabolism of the host sponge, and thereby on ...
