Threatened Reef Corals of the World

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
A substantial proportion of the world's living species, including one-third of the reef-building corals, are threatened with extinction and in pressing need of conservation action. In order to reduce biodiversity loss, it is important to consider species' contribution to evolutionary diversity along with their risk of extinction for the purpose of ...

Culturing the solitary ascidian Phallusia nigra in closed and open water systems for tropical environmental research

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract Marine and coastal ecosystems have been undergoing dramatic shifts due to global environmental changes. The rise in seawater temperature, ocean acidification, hypoxia, eutrophication, and anthropogenic pollution severely affects marine organisms.

Coral reef degradation is not correlated with local human population density

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2016
The global decline of reef-building corals is understood to be due to a combination of local and global stressors. However, many reef scientists assume that local factors predominate and that isolated reefs, far from human activities, are generally ...

Refuge trifecta: intertidal gastropods use pits to escape heat, wave action and predation

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Refuges play a critical role in ecology and evolution. In hard intertidal shores, small pits attract benthic invertebrates such as gastropods, however, there exists little mechanistic understanding of the processes driving the active usage of these microhabitat features. We conducted a series of laboratory experiments to assess whether the marine snail

Coral Reefs and Islands [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1880
IN my letter on “Coral Reefs and Islands,” published in NATURE, vol. xxii. p. 558, I have just noticed an important slip in writing which demands correction.

Bifunctional MOF‐on‐MOF‐Derived CuCo2O4 for Oxygen Evolution Reaction Electrocatalysis and Supercapacitor Electrodes

open access: yesChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
A bifunctional copper cobalt oxide derived from metal‐organic frameworks was synthesized with a spinel structure and coral reef‐like morphology. It showed excellent activity for the oxygen evolution reaction, with overpotential of 317 mV at 10 mA cm−2 and Tafel slope of 49 mV dec−1.
