- W4380200856 abstract "Abstract Parrotfishes are conspicuous herbivores, microvores, and detritivores in coral reef ecosystems, and the impacts of their feeding, particularly their capacity to expose reef carbonate, have received much attention. In many cases, parrotfish assemblages have been shown to control algal proliferation and promote the settlement of corals and crustose coralline algae (CCA). In extreme cases, high densities of parrotfishes may negatively affect net reef accretion through bioerosion and targeted coral predation. Most evidence describing the impacts of parrotfish foraging on benthic community structure is based upon correlations between benthic composition and parrotfish behavior or abundance, with much less known about process-based change of individual parrotfish bite scars through time. Here, we estimated parrotfish bite selectivity and determined the change in benthic composition within parrotfish bite scars relative to change in the overall reefscape using data collected over a 12-month duration from the fore reef habitat at Palmyra Atoll. We identified 2150 parrotfish bite scars which appeared most frequently on turf algae covered substrata but also on coral, CCA, and encrusting macroalgae. Of those bites taken on live coral, 96% of scars returned to live coral within 12 months. Notably, adult coral survivorship in bite scars was higher than at randomly sampled coral-covered locations not affected by parrotfish bites. The exposed substrate within bite scars was most commonly colonized by the dominant benthic functional group in the area immediately surrounding the scar. We found little evidence of coral recruitment to bite scars (1/2150); however, CCA growth on bites initially on turf algae increased from 18.4 to 32.9% across the two time intervals. Our results suggest that benthic areas affected by parrotfish bites were more likely to undergo a successional shift to a more calcified state relative to unaffected benthic areas, indicating that parrotfish grazing helps maintain highly calcified coral reef ecosystems." @default.
