Vulnerability of tropical fish communities across depth in the central Indian Ocean
Conservation Biology, EarlyView.Abstract Coral reefs and their fish communities below scuba diving depth (>30 m), in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) (∼30–150 m), in rariphotic (150–300 m), and in upper bathyal waters (300–500 m) are often underexplored, especially in the Indian Ocean.

Interim report: 2016 coral bleaching event on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
, 2016 [Extract] Since 2014, severe mass coral bleaching has been occurring in most tropical regions across the world in the longest mass bleaching event ever recorded.

Global warming and recurrent mass bleaching of corals [PDF]
, 2017 During 2015–2016, record temperatures triggered a pan-tropical episode of coral bleaching, the third global-scale event since mass bleaching was first documented in the 1980s.

Frontiers 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.

Sustainable bioceramics, biopolymers, and composites for bone applications: From bench to production
International Journal of Applied Ceramic Technology, EarlyView.Abstract In response to environmental challenges and primary resource scarcity, sustainable approaches that rely on recycling and reusing waste materials are becoming highly valuable and appealing options in modern society. These strategies have started being applied in biomaterials science, too, leading to the advent of new synergies between ...

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have increased in frequency by 34% since 1990 and are projected to rise further with global ocean change, posing significant risks to marine ecosystems. Kelps (order Laminariales) provide essential habitats and play key ecological roles, but they are increasingly threatened by MHWs.

The effects of single and repeat bleaching on photosynthesis, respiration, and feeding rates in three species of Caribbean coral [PDF]
, 2011 Bleaching events are predicted to increase in frequency and intensity as a result of rising sea surface temperatures. Paired fragments of the Caribbean corals Montastraea faveolata, Porites astreoides, and Porites divaricata were experimentally bleached (

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]
, 2010 The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Shading responses are species-specific in thermally stressed corals
Frontiers in Marine ScienceLight 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 ...

Understanding marine biodiversity patterns and drivers: The fall of Icarus
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.Abstract Biodiversity patterns are fundamental in our understanding of the distribution of life, ecosystem function, and conservation. In this concept analysis, A survey of the existing knowledge on marine biodiversity patterns and drivers across latitudes, longitudes, and depths indicates that none of the postulated patterns represent a rule.
