Shifts in bacterial communities of two caribbean reef-building coral species affected by white plague disease [PDF]
The ISME Journal, 2011 AbstractCoral reefs are deteriorating at an alarming rate mainly as a consequence of the emergence of coral diseases. The white plague disease (WPD) is the most prevalent coral disease in the southwestern Caribbean, affecting dozens of coral species. However, the identification of a single causal agent has proved problematic. This suggests more complex

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, Volume 23, Issue 12, Page 905-923, December 2025.Abstract Census‐based carbonate budget assessments synthesize metrics on biologically derived carbonate production and erosion rates to generate estimates of net carbonate production (NCP). ReefBudget is a widely used in‐water carbonate budget approach, but this methodology can be field‐intensive and logistically challenging, limiting spatial data ...

Defining ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs
Biological Reviews, Volume 100, Issue 6, Page 2707-2725, December 2025.ABSTRACT Sharks have often been perceived to play a critical role in the dynamics of coral reef ecosystems globally. Yet, there is relatively little evidence to support this idea across all but a limited set of species and contexts. Research on the roles and importance of reef sharks has been complicated by logistical challenges in collecting data on ...
