The Origin of Coral-Reefs [PDF]
Scientific American, 1883 II. THE most detailed investigation of coral-reefs which has yet appeared has just been published by Prof. A. Agassiz.2 This able naturalist is engaged in prosecuting a series of researches into the biological phenomena of the seas on the eastern side of the United States, under the auspices of the United States Coast Survey, and in the course of these

Diversity of cultivable protease-producing bacteria and their extracellular proteases associated to scleractinian corals [PDF]
PeerJ, 2020 Protease-producing bacteria play a vital role in degrading organic nitrogen in marine environments. However, the diversity of the bacteria and extracellular proteases has seldom been addressed, especially in communities of coral reefs. In this study, 136

Current Biology, 2008 Coral reefs are the most diverse of marine ecosystems, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of species associated with reefs. For this reason they are often called the rain forests of the sea, and as such they have been of interest not only to marine scientists but also to ecologists and evolutionary biologists broadly.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Rapid and widespread declines in coral health and abundance have driven increased investments in coral reef restoration interventions to jumpstart population recovery. Microfragmentation, an asexual propagation technique, is used to produce large numbers

Assisted sexual reproduction of Acropora cervicornis for active restoration on Florida’s Coral Reef
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Given the rapid, global decline in the health and abundance of coral reefs, increased investments in restoration-based interventions -including asexual and sexual propagation- are being made by coral reef scientists at research institutions, but also at ...

Insights from twenty years of comparative research in Pacific Large Ocean States
Ecosystems and People, 2022 Under global environmental change, understanding the interactions between people and nature has become critical for human survival. Comparative research can identify trends within social-ecological systems providing key insights for both environmental ...

Annual Review of Marine Science, 2021 The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in understanding turbulence in the unique setting of coral reefs—how it influences flow and the exchange of mass and momentum both above and within the complex geometry of ...

Dangerous demographics in post-bleach corals reveal boom-bust versus protracted declines
Scientific Reports, 2021 Thermal-stress events have changed the structure, biodiversity, and functioning of coral reefs. But how these disturbances affect the dynamics of individual coral colonies remains unclear.
