Survival, rarity, and extinction in tropical stony corals. [PDF]
Conserv BiolAbstract Many reef‐building tropical corals are becoming rare. We considered the meaning of rarity in corals and highlighted taxa that have reached low abundances in the last few decades. The difficulties of quantifying rarity in the marine environment arise from the sheer scale and 3‐dimensional nature of the biome and the inherent challenges therein ...

Movement of yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Block 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary as determined by acoustic telemetry [PDF]
, 2005 We tagged a total of 14 yellowtail snapper (Ocyurus chrysurus Bloch 1790) and black grouper (Mycteroperca bonaci Poey 1860) inside the Conch Reef Research Only Area (a no-take marine reserve) in the northern Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary in ...

Phycological Research, EarlyView.SUMMARY Kelp forests are threatened by rising ocean temperatures. However, the effects of warming on early life stage interactions among co‐occurring kelp species, particularly competitive dynamics and reproductive timing, remain poorly understood. This study investigates the effects of temperature on embryonic sporophyte competitive interactions and ...

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

The role of substrate materials for the survival and growth of coral micro‐fragment sheets
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Biofouling can have a negative impact on the survival and growth of corals in aquaculture. For coral aquaculture to support reef restoration, there needs to be a cost‐effective and efficient method that reduces the reliance on labor for coral maintenance.
