Data‐driven discovery of mechanistic ecosystem models with LLMs

Methods in Ecology and Evolution, EarlyView.
Abstract Ecosystem models are essential for ecosystem management, but their development traditionally requires significant time and expertise, creating bottlenecks in addressing urgent environmental challenges. We present LEMMA (LLM Enabled Mechanistic Modelling for ecosystem Assessment), a framework that programmatically generates and iteratively ...

Exposure to elevated sea-surface temperatures below the bleaching threshold impairs coral recovery and regeneration following injury [PDF]

PeerJ, 2017
Elevated sea surface temperatures (SSTs) are linked to an increase in the frequency and severity of bleaching events due to temperatures exceeding corals’ upper thermal limits. The temperatures at which a breakdown of the coral-Symbiodinium endosymbiosis

Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), were severely affected.

Integrating equity-focused planning into coral bleaching management

npj Ocean Sustainability, 2023
Coral bleaching, associated with warm water temperatures of the oceans, represents the most significant threat to coral reef ecosystems and coastal communities regarding climate change. Coral bleaching prediction models have emerged as essential tools in

Scenarios and strategies for future‐proofing ecosystem management under climatic novelty

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is driving unprecedented declines in dominant, habitat‐forming foundation species across marine and terrestrial ecosystems globally. As climatic novelty becomes the norm, ecosystem reassembly will become increasingly common. Predicting and understanding these transitions, and their implications for future ecosystem functioning ...

Advancing conservation breeding programs for marine invertebrates

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract In the face of ecosystem change and biodiversity loss caused by climate change and other stressors, conservation breeding, or captive breeding, with the aim of reintroduction for wild population recovery, is an emerging tool for preventing species’ extinction and rehabilitating ecosystems.

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.

Metacaspases contribute to the cellular response to heat stress in a marine diatom

New Phytologist, EarlyView.
Summary Climate‐driven marine heatwaves (HW) are extreme, large‐scale events characterized by elevated ocean temperatures lasting from days to months. Despite their importance, little is known about the molecular mechanisms of algal response to marine HW. Recent studies suggest that metacaspases play an important role in thermotolerance.

Bleaching susceptibility and recovery of Colombian Caribbean corals in response to water current exposure and seasonal upwelling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
Coral bleaching events are globally occurring more frequently and with higher intensity, mainly caused by increases in seawater temperature. In Tayrona National Natural Park (TNNP) in the Colombian Caribbean, local coral communities are subjected to ...
