Effects of moderate thermal anomalies on Acropora corals around Sesoko Island, Okinawa.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Over the past several decades, coral reef ecosystems have experienced recurring bleaching events. These events were predominantly caused by thermal anomalies, which vary widely in terms of severity and spatio-temporal distribution.

Synchrony on the reef: how environmental factors shape coral spawning patterns in Acropora corals in the Maldives [PDF]

PeerJ
Elucidating our knowledge on the reproductive phenology of scleractinian corals and the environmental drivers of reproductive synchronicity is pivotal for assessing gene flow between populations and the potential for ecosystem recovery.

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Annotated checklist for stony corals of American Sāmoa with reference to mesophotic depth records [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
An annotated checklist of the stony corals (Scleractinia, Milleporidae, Stylasteridae, and Helioporidae) of American Sāmoa is presented. A total of 377 valid species has been reported from American Sāmoa with 342 species considered either present (251 ...

Mesophotic octocoral larval settlement preferences and behaviors

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Lab‐based coral reproduction is advancing restoration efforts to support coral populations injured by the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill. Objectives This study aimed to answer foundational questions concerning coral spawning and larval settlement that need to be resolved for these mesophotic and deep‐sea coral species before ...

Antifouling capacity of substrate materials and their effects on settlement and post‐settlement survival of Acropora palmata and Orbicella faveolata

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In coral reef restoration, sexual reproduction is a key methodology to enhance coral population recovery. However, post‐settlement survival remains a major bottleneck, as spat are particularly vulnerable to competition with fouling organisms.

Compound Hypoxia With Heat or Acidification Stress Induces Synergistic and Additive Effects on Coral Physiology

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
Multi‐stressor experiments on three coral species demonstrate hypoxia produces mostly additive effects with acidification but synergistically amplifies physiological stress under elevated temperatures. As global and local environmental change increase compound stress events on coral reefs, distinguishing hypoxia‐driven effects and interactive stressor ...
