The role of nocturnal fishes on coral reefs: A quantitative functional evaluation
Ecology and Evolution, 2022 The ecological functions of nocturnal coral reef fishes are poorly known. Yet, nocturnal resources for coral reef consumers are theoretically as abundant and productive, if not more so, than their diurnal counterparts.

Trophic innovations fuel reef fish diversification
Nature Communications, 2020 Both geography and ecology can drive the origins of new species. Siqueira et al. show how geological changes in the structure of Miocene reefs and the concurrent evolution of new feeding strategies combine to explain why coral reefs contain such a ...

Social adaptation can reduce the strength of social–ecological feedbacks from ecosystem degradation
People and Nature, 2022 Feedbacks between people and ecosystems are central to the study of social–ecological systems (SES) but remain poorly understood. It is commonly assumed that changes in ecosystems leading to a reduction in ecosystem services will trigger human responses ...

CoralVOS: Dataset and Benchmark for Coral Video Segmentation [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Coral reefs formulate the most valuable and productive marine ecosystems, providing habitat for many marine species. Coral reef surveying and analysis are currently confined to coral experts who invest substantial effort in generating comprehensive and dependable reports (\emph{e.g.}, coral coverage, population, spatial distribution, \textit{etc ...

Scalable Semantic 3D Mapping of Coral Reefs with Deep Learning [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Coral reefs are among the most diverse ecosystems on our planet, and are depended on by hundreds of millions of people. Unfortunately, most coral reefs are existentially threatened by global climate change and local anthropogenic pressures. To better understand the dynamics underlying deterioration of reefs, monitoring at high spatial and temporal ...

Bathymetry of the Coral Reefs of Weizhou Island Based on Multispectral Satellite Images
Remote Sensing, 2017 Shallow water depth measurements using multispectral images are crucial for marine surveying and mapping. At present, relevant studies either depend on the use of other auxiliary data (such as field water depths or water column data) or contain too many ...
