Considerable errors in disease identification / terminology, noteably:
Brown band disease is solely reported from the GBR (Willis et al 2004) and is unlikely to be caused by the notorious aquarium 'brown jelly' ciliate Helicostoma nonatum (Borneman 2000) or cyanobacteria.
Black band disease is a microbial consortium dominated by Phormidium corallyticum, although the causative agent is still elusive (Koch's postulates)
Black necrosing syndrome is specific to gorgonians on the GBR (Willis et al 2004) and is different to the Caribbean syndrome Dark spots disease which affects scleractinian corals (see Borger 2005)
amongst other changes made.
This article was the subject of an educational assignment in 2013 Q3. Further details were available on the "Education Program:Louisiana State University/HNRS 1035 Natural Disturbances & Society (Spring 2014)" page, which is now unavailable on the wiki. |
The article was reconstructed completely. Scientific articles were added as references. Existing references were organized neatly. Existing information was categorized into sections and added to with data from various sources. Grammar and capitalization were checked, and transitions were added within the article to improve flow. New information added and organized in subsequent sections. The effects of climate change and impacts on society were added as well. Broken internal links were removed from the article. For a full comparison of the previous and current versions, check the view history tab.
The information added to the article expands upon the ecological impact of the disease and how it effects the world as a whole. The protection and conservation of coral reefs is crucial to maintaining the fish populations for the world as a whole as well.
