Hurricanes enhance coral connectivity but also superspread coral diseases
Global Change BiologyAbstractClimate change poses an existential threat to coral reefs. A warmer and more acidic ocean weakens coral ecosystems and increases the intensity of hurricanes. The wind–wave–current interactions during a hurricane deeply change the ocean circulation patterns and hence potentially affect the dispersal of coral larvae and coral disease agents. Here,

Coral disease prevalence estimation and sampling design [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 In the last decades diseases have changed coral communities’ structure and function in reefs worldwide. Studies conducted to evaluate the effect of diseases on corals frequently use modified adaptations of sampling designs that were developed to study ...

Identification and prevalence of coral diseases on three Western Indian Ocean coral reefs
Diseases of Aquatic Organisms, 2015 Coral diseases have caused a substantial decline in the biodiversity and abundance of reef-building corals. To date, more than 30 distinct diseases of scleractinian corals have been reported, which cause progressive tissue loss and/or affect coral growth, reproductive capacity, recruitment, species diversity and the abundance of reef-associated ...
