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

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.

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 ...

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.

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Nature, 2017 Coral reefs support immense biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services to many millions of people. Yet reefs are degrading rapidly in response to numerous anthropogenic drivers. In the coming centuries, reefs will run the gauntlet of climate change, and rising temperatures will transform them into new configurations, unlike anything observed
