Trophic innovations fuel reef fish diversification
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 ...

From citizen science to policy development on the coral reefs of Jamaica [PDF]
This paper explores the application of citizen science to help generation of scientific data and capacity-building, and so underpin scientific ideas and policy development in the area of coral reef management, on the coral reefs of Jamaica. From 2000 to

The influence of extreme climate events on models of coral colony recruitment and survival in the Caribbean [PDF]
Knowledge of coral recruitment patterns helps us understand how reefs react following major disturbances and provides us with an early warning system for predicting future reef health problems.

Social adaptation can reduce the strength of social–ecological feedbacks from ecosystem degradation
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 ...

Comparative genome-centric analysis reveals seasonal variation in the function of coral reef microbiomes [PDF]
Microbially mediated processes contribute to coral reef resilience yet, despite extensive characterisation of microbial community variation following environmental perturbation, the effect on microbiome function is poorly understood.
