A framework and review of evidence of the importance of coral reefs for marine birds in tropical ecosystems

Ecology and Evolution
As global heating and other anthropogenic influences alter tropical marine environments, it is unclear how marine bird populations will be impacted and whether their current roles in tropical marine ecosystems will change. Although marine birds roost and

CoralSCOP-LAT: Labeling and Analyzing Tool for Coral Reef Images with Dense Mask [PDF]

arXiv
Images of coral reefs provide invaluable information, which is essentially critical for surveying and monitoring the coral reef ecosystems. Robust and precise identification of coral reef regions within surveying imagery is paramount for assessing coral coverage, spatial distribution, and other statistical analyses.

Hydrodynamics of In-Canopy Flow in Synthetically Generated Coral Reefs Under Oscillatory Wave Motion [PDF]

arXiv
The interaction of oscillatory wave motion with morphologically complex coral reefs showcases a wide range of consequential hydrodynamic responses within the canopy. While a large body of literature has explored the interaction of morphologically simple coral reefs, the in-canopy flow dynamics in complex coral reefs is poorly understood.

Microbial and transcriptional response of Acropora valida and Turbinaria peltata to Vibrio coralliilyticus challenge: insights into corals disease resistance

BMC Microbiology
Background Coral diseases are significant drivers of global coral reef degradation, with pathogens dominated by Vibrio coralliilyticus playing a prominent role in the development of coral diseases.

A Comparative Hydrodynamic Characterization of the Flow Through Regular and Stochastically Generated Synthetic Coral Reefs Over Flat Topography [PDF]

arXiv
Coral reefs are vital to marine ecosystems, supporting biodiversity and driving nutrient cycling. Despite significant research on the interaction between surface waves and natural or artificial reefs, the turbulent flow dynamics within coral canopies remain poorly understood due to their intricate geometries.

Assessing the consistency and reliability of the line intercept transect method in coral cover estimation using structure from motion photogrammetry techniques

Geocarto International
Appropriate coral reef monitoring methods and descriptors determine the effectiveness of ecosystem status assessment. We combined line intercept transect (LIT) and SfM technologies for image acquisition, and the POS information of images is defined and ...
