Remote Sensing in Ecology and ConservationMarine heatwaves are causing recurring coral bleaching events on tropical reefs that are driving ecosystem change. Yet, little is known about how bleaching and subsequent coral mortality impacts the spatial properties of tropical seascapes, such as ...

Light intensity, photoperiod duration, daily light flux and coral growth of Galaxea fascicularis in an aquarium setting: a matter of photons? [PDF]
, 2012 Light is one of the most important abiotic factors influencing the (skeletal) growth of scleractinian corals. Light stimulates coral growth by the process of light-enhanced calcification, which is mediated by zooxanthellar photosynthesis.

Global Projections of Coral Reef Sediment Dissolution in the 21st Century
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 18, 28 September 2026.Abstract Coral reefs build carbonate frameworks, but ocean acidification threatens to reverse this role by accelerating dissolution of permeable reef sediments. We combined Earth system model projections across five emission pathways with an aragonite saturation state‐dissolution relationship to project global reef sediment dissolution through 2100 ...

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait‐Based Framework
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

Coral bleaching and mass mortality at Lizard Island revealed by drone imagery
Quantitatively assessing mortality post coral bleaching at scale is inherently difficult, yet can be achieved with georeferenced imagery from aerial drones.

The Fate of Coral Feeding Scars Following Predation by Individual Crown‐of‐Thorns Seastars
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.Low density populations of crown‐of‐thorns seastars (COTS) create consistent‐sized feeding scars across diverse coral taxa at One Tree Reef on the southern Great Barrier Reef. While most feeding scars were initially colonised by turf and crustose coralline algae, a quarter showed signs of live coral tissue regeneration after 22 weeks, with Montipora ...

Marine heatwaves cause intense coral bleaching in Lakshadweep: Researchers Millennium Post dated 7th May 2024 [PDF]
In an alarming situation, the researchers of the ICAR-Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI) have recorded a widespread bleaching event impacting the coral reefs in the Lakshadweep Sea owing to marine heatwaves.

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2026.Abstract Understanding spatial patterns and drivers of corallivory is essential for assessing reef resilience and identifying recovery pathways. Fish corallivory patterns arise from the complex direct and indirect effects of key factors, including food availability (cover of preferred corals), the nature of the corallivore assemblage (richness and ...
