Coral Reef Bioerosion in the Eastern Tropical Pacific
, 2017 Bioerosion, the weakening and erosion of hard substrates by boring, etching, and grazing organisms, is a major structuring force on coral reefs of the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP).

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 2, February 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Ecological interactions are central to ecosystem health. In intertidal habitats, mussels serve as foundational bioengineers. Microbial endoliths erode mussel shells and impair fitness but may also provide thermal benefits under stress. This relationship can be context‐dependent, shifting from parasitism to mutualism.

Reef Habitat Type and Spatial Extent as Interacting Controls on Platform-Scale Carbonate Budgets
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 A coral reefs carbonate budget strongly influences reef structural complexity and net reef growth potential, and thus is increasingly recognized as a key “health” metric.

Expanding the Ichnofacies Model to Tidal Straits: Testing Predictions and Assessing Anomalies
Terra Nova, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 19-26, February 2026.ABSTRACT Trace fossils are instrumental in facies analysis, but some depositional environments remain underexplored. Cenozoic deposits in Italy have been studied to evaluate the ichnology of tidal straits. These comprise four zones: (1) strait centre, (2) dune‐bedded strait zone, (3) strait end and (4) strait margin.

Seawater carbonate chemistry and live coral performance vs. framework dissolution and bioerosion
, 2022 Physiological sensitivity of cold-water corals to ocean change is far less understood than of tropical corals and very little is known about the impacts of ocean acidification and warming on degradative processes of dead coral framework.

Quantitative Estimates of Bio-Remodeling on Coastal Rock Surfaces
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2016 Remodeling of rocky coasts and erosion rates have been widely studied in past years, but not all the involved processes acting over rocks surface have been quantitatively evaluated yet.

Effects of Submarine Groundwater Discharge on Coral Accretion and Bioerosion on Two Shallow Reef Flats [PDF]
, 2016 Porites lobata nubbins and bioerosion blocks were deployed across two groundwater gradients in Maunalua Bay to measure coral accretion and bioerosion rates at different levels of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD).
