Marine protected areas do not buffer corals from bleaching under global warming
Background The rising temperature of the oceans has been identified as the primary driver of mass coral reef declines via coral bleaching (expulsion of photosynthetic endosymbionts).

Abstract Conservation of marine ecosystems can be improved through a better understanding of ecosystem functioning, particularly the cryptic underwater behaviours and interactions of marine predators. Image‐based bio‐logging devices (including images, videos and active acoustic) are increasingly used to monitor wildlife movements, foraging behaviours ...

Abstract Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis is commonly used to visualize mixtures of proteins, such as those embedded in calcareous biominerals. However, it is ineffective for the detection of biochromes, a major class of low molecular weight organic compounds commonly associated with calcified exoskeletons.

Sea surface temperatures on the Great Barrier Reef : a contribution to the study of coral bleaching [PDF]
The extensive coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef(GBR) in early 1998 focussed attention on the role that unusually high sea surface temperatures (SSTs) might play in triggering coral bleaching.

Changes in a fish assemblage after a coral bleaching event [PDF]
Large-scale bleaching events are major disturbances to coral health and community structure, but may also affect other coral reef taxa, such as fishes. In 1997-1998, wide-spread coral bleaching and mortality occurred across the Great Barrier Reef, caused

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 ...

A global protocol for monitoring of coral bleaching [PDF]
Coral bleaching and subsequent mortality represent a major threat to the future health and productivity of coral reefs. However a lack of reliable data on occurrence, severity and other characteristics of bleaching events hampers research on the causes ...

Lag effects in the impacts of mass coral bleaching on coral reef fish, fisheries, and ecosystems [PDF]
Recent episodes of coral bleaching have led to wide-scale loss of reef corals and raised concerns over the effectiveness of existing conservation and management efforts.
