Use of virtual reality to engage undergraduate students in environmental field experiences

open access: yesFuture in Educational Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Field‐based experiences enhance cognitive and affective skill sets of undergraduate students. Although field‐based learning is a highly effective pedagogical modality, it is not accessible to all students, necessitating the development and evaluation of alternate modalities that convey equivalent benefits.

Fisheries productivity under progressive coral reef degradation

open access: yes, 2018
In response to multiple stressors, coral reef health has declined in recent decades, with reefs exhibiting reduced living coral and structural complexity, and a concomitant rise in the dominance of algal resources.

Interactive Effects of Endogenous and Exogenous Nutrition on Larval Development for Crown-Of-Thorns Starfish

open access: yesDiversity, 2017
Outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish are often attributed to step-changes in larval survivorship following anomalous increases in nutrients and food availability.

Daphnia‐associated bacterial communities correlate with diet quantity, environmental conditions, and epidemic size across natural outbreaks

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Zooplankton‐associated microbiomes play an important role for host health, and contribute to ecosystem processes such as nutrient cycling. Yet, few studies have assessed how environmental gradients and biotic interactions, including parasitism and diet, may shape the microbiome composition of wild zooplankton. Here, we analyzed the microbiomes

Local-scale projections of coral reef futures and implications of the Paris Agreement

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
Increasingly frequent severe coral bleaching is among the greatest threats to coral reefs posed by climate change. Global climate models (GCMs) project great spatial variation in the timing of annual severe bleaching (ASB) conditions; a point at which ...

Effects of Great Barrier Reef Degradation on Recreational Demand: A Contingent Behaviour Approach [PDF]

open access: yes
Degradation of coral reefs may affect the number of tourists visiting the reef and, consequently, the economic sectors that rely on healthy reefs for their income generation.

Coral calcification mechanisms across a natural environmental mosaic in Hawai'i

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography, EarlyView.
Abstract Coral calcification is key to coral reef growth and function but may be compromised under increasing global and local stressors. Corals modify the carbonate chemistry of their calcifying fluid to facilitate calcification, but little is known about how these mechanisms vary across the substantial differences in reef seawater conditions that can
