Projected Global Diversity of Marine Heatwaves in the 21st Century

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 5, 16 March 2026.
Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs)—discrete and prolonged warm ocean temperature extremes—can pose serious threats to marine ecosystems. While the previous work of authors has highlighted the diversity of MHWs, future changes in six representative MHW types, under different climate change scenarios, are unknown.

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

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.

Enhancing motivation to learn marine ecology and increase ocean literacy through virtual reality in higher education

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Virtual reality (VR) is increasingly recognized as a tool for enhancing engagement and motivation in education. This is particularly true where access to experiential learning is limited, as is often the case in marine ecology courses. However, the effectiveness of VR for teaching and learning in higher education is poorly understood. Here, we

Comparison of Environmental DNA Metabarcoding and Trawl Data Highlights Gear Selectivity of Marine Demersal Fish Surveys on the Faroese Plateau

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The study compared trawl and eDNA metabarcoding of demersal fish communities in an open ocean environment around the Faroe Islands. eDNA provided a comparable assessment of demersal species biomass and revealed additional spatial information on keystone species known to be under‐sampled by demersal trawls due to size and behavioral traits.

Novel Assay for Endangered Hong Kong Grouper (Epinephelus akaara) to Assess eDNA Shedding, Decay, and Population Status

Environmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Novel species‐specific eDNA qPCR assay for endangered Hong Kong Grouper (Epinephelus akaara) reveals low shedding rates and rapid decay. Rare, trace detections across Hong Kong waters confirm population rarity, demonstrating eDNA as a powerful non‐invasive tool for monitoring threatened marine fishes. ABSTRACT The Hong Kong Grouper (Epinephelus akaara)

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

Environmental 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

Frontiers 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 ...

Coral diseases and bleaching on Colombian Caribbean coral reefs

Revista de Biología Tropical, 2015
<span>Desde 1998 el “Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo de Arrecifes Coralinos de Colombia” SIMAC, ha observado la ocurrencia de enfermedades coralinas y blanqueamiento en arrecifes colombianos (estaciones fijas en la Isla de San Andrés, Tayrona, Islas del Rosario, Islas de San Bernardo y Urabá Chocoano).

Mesoscale Circulation and Coral Community Disturbance at Isolated Reefs

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 1, March 2026.
The Loop Current is a seasonally and interannually dynamic mesoscale oceanographic feature in the Gulf of Mexico that strongly influences connectivity and environmental conditions across the region. We investigated the influence of Loop Current variability on coral reef disturbances at isolated reefs in the northwest Gulf, including coral disease ...
