Bias associated with the detectability of the coral-eating pest crown-of-thorns seastar and implications for reef management [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2017
Outbreaks of the predator crown-of-thorns seastar (COTS) Acanthaster planci cause widespread coral mortality across the Indo-Pacific. Like many marine invertebrates, COTS is a nocturnal species whose cryptic behaviour during the day can affect its ...

Early life stage bottleneck determines rates of coral recovery following severe disturbance

Ecology, Volume 106, Issue 1, January 2025.
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 ...

Osmotic shock as alternative method to control Acanthaster planci

, 2014
Objective: To test six osmotic stressors as alternative methods to control Acanthaster planci outbreaks by exploiting their incapacity to tolerate drastic changes in osmolarity. Finding more effective ways to control A.

Carotenoids in Marine Invertebrates Living along the Kuroshio Current Coast

Marine Drugs, 2011
Carotenoids of the corals Acropora japonica, A. secale, and A. hyacinthus, the tridacnid clam Tridacna squamosa, the crown-of-thorns starfish Acanthaster planci, and the small sea snail Drupella fragum were investigated. The corals and the tridacnid clam

Multi‐Factor Coral Disease Risk: A new product for early warning and management

Ecological Applications, Volume 34, Issue 4, June 2024.
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 ...

Capacity for regeneration in crown-of-thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci

, 2013
[Extract] Population outbreaks of the coral-feeding crown of thorns starfish, Acanthaster planci (Fig. 1a), are, with storms, the most significant disturbance on coral reefs in the western Pacific (e.g., De'ath et al. 2012).

The Crown-of-Thorns starfish Acanthaster planci (Linne') in Ceylon [PDF]

, 1972
The Crown-of-Thorns starfish Acanthaster planci is a predator of coral and has been responsible for the widespread destruction of coral reefs. In Sri Lanka this starfish was first reported by Clarke in 1915. Recently skin-divers reported that Acanthaster

Cost‐effectiveness of tourism‐led coral planting at scale on the northern Great Barrier Reef

Restoration Ecology, Volume 32, Issue 4, May 2024.
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.

Integrating climate model projections into environmental risk assessment: A probabilistic modeling approach

Integrated Environmental Assessment and Management, Volume 20, Issue 2, Page 367-383, March 2024.
Abstract The Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC) convened a Pellston workshop in 2022 to examine how information on climate change could be better incorporated into the ecological risk assessment (ERA) process for chemicals as well as other environmental stressors.
