Turbulence and Coral Reefs

open access: yesAnnual 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 ...

No apparent cost of disease resistance on reproductive output in Acropora cervicornis genets used for active coral reef restoration in Florida

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2022
As assisted sexual reproduction interventions continue to become embedded within coral reef restoration initiatives, it is important to understand the potential for trade-offs between key traits like reproductive output and disease resistance.

Asymmetric physiological response of a reef-building coral to pulsed versus continuous addition of inorganic nutrients

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Coral reefs, especially those located near-shore, are increasingly exposed to anthropogenic, eutrophic conditions that are often chronic. Yet, corals under unperturbed conditions may frequently receive natural and usually temporary nutrient ...

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 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

The role of nocturnal fishes on coral reefs: A quantitative functional evaluation

open access: yesEcology 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.

Climate warming, marine protected areas and the ocean-scale integrity of coral reef ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Coral reefs have emerged as one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate variation and change. While the contribution of a warming climate to the loss of live coral cover has been well documented across large spatial and temporal scales, the ...

Effects of elevated CO2 on predator avoidance behaviour by reef fishes is not altered by experimental test water [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2016
Pioneering studies into the effects of elevated CO2 on the behaviour of reef fishes often tested high-CO2 reared fish using control water in the test arena.
