Carbonate sedimentology: An evolved discipline

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract Although admired and examined since antiquity, carbonate sediment and rock research really began with Charles Darwin who, during a discovery phase, studied, documented and interpreted their nature in the mid‐19th century. The modern discipline, however, really began after World War II and evolved in two distinct phases.

Nearshore Turbid-Zone Corals Exhibit High Bleaching Tolerance on the Great Barrier Reef Following the 2016 Ocean Warming Event

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
High sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) during summer 2015/2016 caused extensive coral bleaching, with aerial and in-water surveys confirming high (but variable) bleaching-related coral mortality.

Taking machine learning with a grain of sand: Sediment Analysis Neural‐network Data‐engine (SAND‐e) reveals sedimentological differences between turbid and clear‐water reefs

open access: yesThe Depositional Record, Volume 12, Issue 1, February 2026.
Using machine learning, researchers can count and crudely identify sand grains from coral reefs automatically. This will allow us to generate larger datasets to answer sedimentological questions. Abstract Sediment is an important facet of sand cay reefs as it is responsible for reef accretion and island formation, with shifts in the proportions of ...

High frequency temperature variability reduces the risk of coral bleaching

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
Coral bleaching is the detrimental expulsion of algal symbionts from their cnidarian hosts, and predominantly occurs when corals are exposed to thermal stress. The incidence and severity of bleaching is often spatially heterogeneous within reef-scales (

Response of Early Life‐Stages of Forest‐Forming Seaweeds From Warm‐Edge and Central Populations to Marine Heatwaves

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
Marine heatwaves (MHWs) pose a threat to global marine forests, with the effects of warming potentially being even greater on early life stages, which are often understudied. We evaluated the responses of Phyllospora comosa—one of the most crucial forest‐forming seaweeds in South‐eastern Australia—early life stages from warm‐edge and central ...

Bacterial Communities Associated With Crustose Coralline Algae Are Host‐Specific

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 1, February 2026.
Fifteen Indo‐Pacific crustose coralline algae (CCA) species surface microbial communities were characterised with 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing and are distinct. The CCA surface microbiome primarily differentiate by algal host species, but core bacterial communities additionally correlated to host phylogeny.

Modelling marine heatwaves impact on shallow and upper mesophotic tropical coral reefs

open access: yesEnvironmental Research Letters
Coral reefs ecosystems, often compared to rain forests for their high biodiversity, are threatened by ocean warming causing coral bleaching when the symbiotic relationship between dinoflagellates and corals breaks under high ocean temperatures.

Shading responses are species-specific in thermally stressed corals

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science
Light is critical to coral growth through endosymbiont photosynthesis but can also act with elevated temperatures to cause coral bleaching. When more light is absorbed than can be used for photosynthesis, elevated irradiance can damage symbiont ...

Peroxynitrite Generation and Increased Heterotrophic Capacity Are Linked to the Disruption of the Coral–Dinoflagellate Symbiosis in a Scleractinian and Hydrocoral Species

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2019
Ocean warming is one of the greatest global threats to coral reef ecosystems; it leads to the disruption of the coral–dinoflagellate symbiosis (bleaching) and to nutrient starvation, because corals mostly rely on autotrophy (i.e., the supply of ...
