Open AccessHigh diversity of benthic cyanobacterial mats on coral reefs of Koh Tao, Gulf of Thailand
Benthic cyanobacterial mats are increasingly reported to cover major coral reef areas. Although suggestions have been made that cyanobacterial mats impair coral reef health in multiple ways, information is lac...

Open AccessFirst insights into the impacts of benthic cyanobacterial mats on fish herbivory functions on a nearshore coral reef
Benthic cyanobacterial mats (BCMs) are becoming increasingly common on coral reefs. In Fiji, blooms generally occur in nearshore areas during warm months but some are starting to prevail through cold months. M...

Cyanobacterial blooms
Cyanobacteria can form dense and sometimes toxic blooms in freshwater and marine environments, which threaten ecosystem functioning and degrade water quality for recreation, drinking water, fisheries and human...

Natural and anthropogenic forcing of Holocene lake ecosystem development at Lake Uddelermeer (The Netherlands)
Lake Uddelermeer (The Netherlands) is characterized by turbid conditions and annual blooms of toxic cyanobacteria, which are supposed to be the result of increased agricultural activity in the twentieth centur...

Open AccessArtificial mixing to control cyanobacterial blooms: a review
Artificial mixing has been used as a measure to prevent the growth of cyanobacteria in eutrophic lakes and reservoirs for many years. In this paper, we give an overview of studies that report on the results of...

Open AccessExisting and emerging cyanocidal compounds: new perspectives for cyanobacterial bloom mitigation
To help ban the use of general toxic algicides, research efforts are now directed towards the discovery of compounds that are specifically acting as cyanocides. Here, we review the past and look forward into t...

Understanding the key ecological traits of cyanobacteria as a basis for their management and control in changing lakes
Anticipated climatic changes combined with eutrophication are predicted to enhance the dominance of several notorious cyanobacterial taxa. Cyanobacteria have many key ecological traits that may allow them to ...

CYANOCOST special issue on cyanobacterial blooms: synopsis—a critical review of the management options for their prevention, control and mitigation
Nuisance, toxic cyanobacterial blooms are a persistent and globally expanding problem. Prevention of blooms requires that external and internal sources of nutrients are managed to levels where development of c...

Open AccessNitrogen and phosphorus uptake rates of different species from a coral reef community after a nutrient pulse
Terrestrial runoff after heavy rainfall can increase nutrient concentrations in waters overlying coral reefs that otherwise experience low nutrient levels. Field measurements during a runoff event showed a sha...

Open AccessEffect of light and nutrient availability on the release of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) by Caribbean turf algae
Turf algae increasingly dominate benthic communities on coral reefs. Given their abundance and high dissolved organic carbon (DOC) release rates, turf algae are considered important contributors to the DOC poo...

Nitrogen fixation rates in algal turf communities of a degraded versus less degraded coral reef
Algal turf communities are ubiquitous on coral reefs in the Caribbean and are often dominated by N2-fixing cyanobacteria. However, it is largely unknown (1) how much N2 is actually fixed by turf communities and ...

Open AccessSharing the slope: depth partitioning of agariciid corals and associated Symbiodiniumacross shallow and mesophotic habitats (2-60 m) on a Caribbean reef
Scleractinian corals and their algal endosymbionts (genus Symbiodinium) exhibit distinct bathymetric distributions on coral reefs. Yet, few studies have assessed the evolutionary context of these ecological distr...

Survival and dispersal of turf algae and macroalgae consumed by herbivorous coral reef fishes
The mechanisms by which algae disperse across space on coral reefs are poorly known. We investigated the ability of four common Caribbean herbivorous fish species to disperse viable algal fragments through con...

Principles of the light-limited chemostat: theory and ecological applications
Light is the energy source that drives nearly all ecosystems on planet Earth. Yet, light limitation is still poorly understood. In this paper, we present an overview of the principles of the light-limited chem...
