Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract The coral host comprises various microorganisms including those living in its skeleton. In coral skeletons, bioeroding microflora (cyanobacteria, algae, and fungi), which play an important role in reefs and coral resilience, produce specific traces (microborings) by actively dissolving the carbonate.

A global protocol for monitoring of coral bleaching [PDF]
, 2004 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 ...

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Census‐based carbonate budget assessments synthesize metrics on biologically derived carbonate production and erosion rates to generate estimates of net carbonate production (NCP). ReefBudget is a widely used in‐water carbonate budget approach, but this methodology can be field‐intensive and logistically challenging, limiting spatial data ...

Genetic diversity is key to a nature‐positive future
People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Nature‐positive describes the concept of halting and then reversing the loss of biodiversity in a manner that is equitable to all, particularly indigenous peoples and local communities. Genetic diversity is the foundational component of biodiversity, underpinning species and ecosystem diversity.

Improved predictions of coral bleaching using seasonal baselines and higher spatial resolution [PDF]
, 2008 Coral bleaching spread across the southern Great Barrier Reef in January 2006, after sea temperatures reached climatological summer maxima 2 months before normal. Current satellite-derived warning systems were unable to detect severe bleaching conditions

People and Nature, EarlyView.Abstract Outbreaks of crown‐of‐thorns starfish (COTS) have been recorded on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) since 1962 and have considerable ecological and economic impact. Monitoring and control of COTS to predict, prevent and mitigate outbreaks is an important part of the ongoing protection of the GBR.

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.
