“…The temperature, from Levitus and Boyer's 1994 annual averages, is >20 C even in~100 m depth around all banks studied, except in the Seychelles-Chagos area in the Indian Ocean where it is 15-20 C. The main carbonate-producers thrive at these temperatures. The relative shallowness of banks subject to particularly intense upwelling (e.g., Makassar Strait, Roberts et al 1987) also argues against major temperature control. Salinity is normal around the banks from the sea surface to below 100 m (cf.…”

The growth and origin of the world's isolated carbonate banks are as yet not completely understood. This paper presents a comparison of the areas, depths, and latitudinal distribution of the world's carbonate banks. These are then compared with chemical parameters of seawater in the upper mixed zone of the oceans and at depth. The results allow large-scale inferences to be made on the interacting controls on bank growth and distribution. The data support the hypothesis that nutrient-rich waters commonly control bank depth and size.

“…The latter are released in concert (Drew and Abel, 1988) in species-specific short intervals (Clifton, 1997;Clifton and Clifton, 1999 Ballantine, 1982;Dong and Tseng, 1980;Drew, 1993Drew, , 1995Hillis-Colinvaux, 1980;Noble, 1986). They abound in a range of reef habitats (Gilmartin, 1960;Hillis-Colinvaux, 1980Roberts et al, 1987;Taylor, 1950Taylor, , 1960Tsuda and Kamura, 1991;Tsuda and Wray, 1977;Van den Hoek et al, 1978). Several morphological traits seem to be linked to particular habitats, e.g., unconsolidated substrata or wave exposed sites (Hillis-Colinvaux, 1980); these traits must have been acquired once or more depending on whether adaptation to these environments occurred once or multiple times.…”

“…The empty ''ghost''-thalli that are left behind following gamete shedding fall apart in loose segments adding their casts to the sediment (Drew, 1993;Freile et al, 1995;Payri, 1988;Roberts et al, 1987). Therefore, the genus has an extensive fossil record (Badve and Nayak, 1983;Braga et al, 1996;Elliott, 1965;Fl€ u ugel, 1988;Mankiewicz, 1988) that goes back with certainty to the Early Cretaceous (Bucur, 1994).…”

Halimeda (Bryopsidales), a genus of calcified, segmented green seaweeds, abounds in reefs and lagoons throughout the tropics. To investigate phylogenetic, phylogeographic, and historic ecological relationships of the genus, the nuclear rDNA including the SSU and both ITS regions were sequenced. A maximum likelihood tree revealed the following: (1) there were anatomical and morphological synapomorphies for five well-supported lineages; (2) the last common ancestor of one lineage invaded sandy substrata; those of two other lineages established in wave-affected habitats, whereas the cenancestor of the remaining two lineages occupied sheltered rocky slopes. Yet, several species adapted to new habitats subsequently, resulting in several cases of convergence; (3) all lineages separated into Atlantic and Indo-Pacific daughters, likely resulting from the rise of the Panamanian Isthmus. Each daughter pair gave rise to additional convergent species in similar habitats in different oceans; (4) Halimeda opuntia, the only monophyletic pantropical species detected so far, dispersed from the Indo-Pacific into the Atlantic well after the closure event; (5) minor SSU-sequence differences across species and phylogeographic patterns of vicariance indicated a relatively recent diversification of the extant diversity. Cretaceous and Early Tertiary fossil look-alikes of modern species must then have resulted from iterative convergence. Ó

“…Algal reefs developed at platform margins, a depositional environment similar to that of modern Halimeda mounds in Java, oV Bahamas, and Australia (Roberts et al 1987Freile et al 1995;Marshall and Davies 1988;Davies et al 2004). Whereas nutrients were decisive in the growth of Halimeda reefs (Marshall and Davies 1988), algal reefs reported herein seemingly grew in depositional environments of low nutrient levels.…”

“…If phylloid algal reefs, to some extent, compare to modern Halimeda mounds, then some assumptions concerning nutrients can be made. Indeed, some occurrences of Halimeda mounds were related to upwelling of deep, nutrient-rich waters; e.g., in the Java Sea, Indonesia (Roberts et al 1987 and the Great Barrier Reef Province, Australia (Drew and Abel 1988;Marshall and Davies 1988).…”
