Early life stage bottleneck determines rates of coral recovery following severe disturbance
Abstract Understanding how foundation species recover from disturbances is key for predicting the future of ecosystems in the Anthropocene. Coral reefs are dynamic ecosystems that can undergo rapid declines in coral abundance following disturbances. Understanding why some reefs recover quickly from these disturbances whereas others recover slowly (or ...

Temperature and the Larval Ecology of the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish, Acanthaster planci
The recently reported dramatic population increases (outbreaks) of the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci, which have damaged many reefs in the Indo-Pacific, are ending (1), but questions remain about the factors that affect Acanthaster distribution and densities.

Extract from crown-of-thorns starfish promotes zebrafish caudal fin regeneration by inhibition of neutrophil migration [PDF]
Reparative regeneration is the process of repairing or replacing damaged or lost tissue. Starfish possess remarkable regenerative capacity and can regenerate nearly any part of their body, making them ideal models for studying regenerative medicine.

Multi‐Factor Coral Disease Risk: A new product for early warning and management
Abstract Ecological forecasts are becoming increasingly valuable tools for conservation and management. However, there are few examples of near‐real‐time forecasting systems that account for the wide range of ecological complexities. We developed a new coral disease ecological forecasting system that explores a suite of ecological relationships and ...

Perhitungan Cepat Kelimpahan Acanthaster planci di Pulau Sombori, Morowali, Sulawesi Tengah [PDF]
Acanthaster planci is one of the most potential causes of coral reef damage in Indonesia. The presence of A. planci in Indonesia has been reported with a large population and preys on corals with large numbers.

Cost‐effectiveness of tourism‐led coral planting at scale on the northern Great Barrier Reef
Stakeholder‐led coral reef restoration efforts, aimed at locally retaining or rebuilding coral populations, have rapidly grown over the last two decades. However, the cost‐effectiveness—and in turn viability—of coral restoration projects remains rarely reported.

Effects Of Marine Protected Areas On The Population Of ACANTHASTER PLANCI In Moorea, French Polynesia [PDF]
Since the 1960’s the crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci¸ has devastated coral reefs. There are many competing theories about the causes for these outbreaks of A. planci. One of the leading theories is that it is an anthropogenic cause.
