Population dynamics in the global coral symbiont network under temperature variations [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Coral reefs are crucial to marine biodiversity and rely on a delicate symbiotic relationship between corals and zooxanthellae algae. Water temperature variations, however, disrupt this association, leading to coral bleaching events that severely affect marine ecosystems.

Multi-label classification for multi-temporal, multi-spatial coral reef condition monitoring using vision foundation model with adapter learning [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Coral reef ecosystems provide essential ecosystem services, but face significant threats from climate change and human activities. Although advances in deep learning have enabled automatic classification of coral reef conditions, conventional deep models struggle to achieve high performance when processing complex underwater ecological images.

Mathematical modelling and uncertainty quantification for analysis of biphasic coral reef recovery patterns [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Coral reefs are increasingly subjected to major disturbances threatening the health of marine ecosystems. Substantial research underway to develop intervention strategies that assist reefs in recovery from, and resistance to, inevitable future climate and weather extremes.

Cutting-edge 3D reconstruction solutions for underwater coral reef images: A review and comparison [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Corals serve as the foundational habitat-building organisms within reef ecosystems, constructing extensive structures that extend over vast distances. However, their inherent fragility and vulnerability to various threats render them susceptible to significant damage and destruction.

The Coralscapes Dataset: Semantic Scene Understanding in Coral Reefs [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Coral reefs are declining worldwide due to climate change and local stressors. To inform effective conservation or restoration, monitoring at the highest possible spatial and temporal resolution is necessary. Conventional coral reef surveying methods are limited in scalability due to their reliance on expert labor time, motivating the use of computer ...

Hierarchical Classification for Automated Image Annotation of Coral Reef Benthic Structures [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv
Automated benthic image annotation is crucial to efficiently monitor and protect coral reefs against climate change. Current machine learning approaches fail to capture the hierarchical nature of benthic organisms covering reef substrata, i.e., coral taxonomic levels and health condition.
