The Microbial Signature Provides Insight into the Mechanistic Basis of Coral Success across Reef Habitats

mBio, 2016
For ecosystems vulnerable to environmental change, understanding the spatiotemporal stability of functionally crucial symbioses is fundamental to determining the mechanisms by which these ecosystems may persist.

Asynchronous population trends stabilize mesopredatory coral reef fish communities in the face of global change

Oikos, EarlyView.
Biodiversity can underpin stability in communities, allowing them to withstand environmental fluctuations without changes in aggregate properties like total abundance or biomass. We investigated the influence of biodiversity on two crucial population‐level mechanisms governing abundance stability in mesopredatory coral reef fishes: 1) ‘community ...

Deforestation and economic growth trends on oceanic islands highlight the need for meso-scale analysis and improved mid-range theory in conservation

Ecology and Society, 2020
Forests both support biodiversity and provide a wide range of benefits to people at multiple scales. Global and national remote sensing analyses of drivers of forest change generally focus on broad-scale influences on area (composition), ignoring ...

Global gradients of coral exposure to environmental stresses and implications for local management [PDF]

, 2011
Background: The decline of coral reefs globally underscores the need for a spatial assessment of their exposure to multiple environmental stressors to estimate vulnerability and evaluate potential counter-measures.

Integrating and assessing metacommunity drivers of ecosystem function and resilience in benthic algal systems

Oikos, EarlyView.
Understanding the scales and mechanisms by which species composition interacts with ecosystem functions is critical for forecasting the effects of environmental perturbations on ecosystem services. However, the linkages between what regulates the ecosystem functions of dispersal‐capable networks of communities (metacommunities) and what regulates a ...

Relational knowing as method and practice

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper seeks to contribute to (re)building the capacity for embodied, place‐based relational knowing, transforming how we know and thus what we know. What is known, or sought to be known, is relations. How we know these relations is by already being in it: breathing, sensing, moving, listening, responding, affecting and being affected ...

Plants back: Re‐envisioning botanical garden collections management for indigenous crops

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Botanical gardens and other ex situ collections play a key role in preventing plant extinctions, yet the needs of Indigenous crop cultivars are not being met by conventional botanical collections management practices. Inspired by Indigenous land care restoration movements centering plant–human–society relationships, we propose a path toward reciprocal ...

Too hot to handle? The impact of the 2023 marine heatwave on Florida Keys coral

Frontiers in Marine Science
The summer 2023 marine heatwave was the most severe on record for Florida’s Coral Reef, with unprecedented water temperatures and cumulative heat stress leading to 100% coral bleaching.
