Caribbean reefs of the Anthropocene: Variance in ecosystem metrics indicates bright spots on coral depauperate reefs [PDF]
Global Change Biology, Volume 26, Issue 9, Page 4785-4799, September 2020., 2020 Dramatic coral loss has significantly altered Caribbean reefs, and coral loss is predicted to result in broad declines in ecosystem services. We evaluate 10 key ecosystem metrics, relating to a variety of different reef services and functions, using data from 328 Caribbean reefs varying in coral cover.

Parrotfish size: a simple yet useful alternative indicator of fishing effects on Caribbean reefs? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 There is great need to identify simple yet reliable indicators of fishing effects within the multi-species, multi-gear, data-poor fisheries of the Caribbean. Here, we investigate links between fishing pressure and three simple fish metrics, i.e.

Unravelling echinoid mass mortalities: a global overview of mechanisms, spatio‐temporal trends, and taxonomic insights [PDF]
Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 221-236, February 2026.ABSTRACT Mass mortality events (MMEs) have been occurring since the dawn of time. However, in contrast to terrestrial events, most marine MMEs remain undetected, largely due to the inaccessibility of many marine environments. One of the most notorious and best‐studied marine MMEs in modern times is that of the population collapse of the echinoid ...

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreaks in The Bahamas
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Coral reefs of Grand Bahama and New Providence islands in The Bahamas have been surveyed several times over the past decade, and long-term monitoring indicates declines in coral cover associated with hurricanes, bleaching events, and local threats ...

Condition of remote reefs off southwest Cuba
Ciencias Marinas, 2010 There are few comprehensive studies on the condition of reefs that are remote from direct anthropogenic pressures and, therefore, ecological baseline data are scarce.
