The Dynamics of Coral-Algal Interactions in Space and Time on the Southern Great Barrier Reef
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Globally, tropical coral reefs are being degraded by human activities, and as a result, reef-building corals have declined while macroalgae have increased.

Modelling Growth of Juvenile Crown-of-Thorns Starfish on the Northern Great Barrier Reef
Diversity, 2016 The corallivorous crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) is a major cause of coral mortality on Indo-Pacific reefs. Despite considerable research into the biology of crown-of-thorns starfish, our understanding of the early post-settlement life stage

Digital image processing to detect subtle motion in stony coral [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Coral reef ecosystems support significant biological activities and harbor huge diversity, but they are facing a severe crisis driven by anthropogenic activities and climate change. An important behavioral trait of the coral holobiont is coral motion, which may play an essential role in feeding, competition, reproduction, and thus survival and fitness.

Too hot to handle? The impact of the 2023 marine heatwave on Florida Keys coral
Frontiers in Marine ScienceThe summer 2023 marine heatwave was the most severe on record for Florida’s Coral Reef, with unprecedented water temperatures and cumulative heat stress leading to 100% coral bleaching.

A Bayesian latent allocation model for clustering compositional data with application to the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Relative abundance is a common metric to estimate the composition of species in ecological surveys reflecting patterns of commonness and rarity of biological assemblages. Measurements of coral reef compositions formed by four communities along Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR) gathered between 2012 and 2017 are the focus of this paper.
