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

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.

Marine Invertebrate-Associated Bacteria In Coral Reef Ecosystems As A New Source Of Bioactive Compounds [PDF]

, 2004
Coral reefs are the most species-rich environments in the oceans. Reefs cover 0.2% of the ocean’s area and yet they provide home to one-third of marine fishes and to tens of thousands of other species.

Indicators for the management of coral reefs and their applications to marine protected areas [PDF]

Informed planning and decision-making in the management of natural resources requires an ability to integrate complex interactions in ecosystems and communicate these effectively to stakeholders. This involves coping with three fundamental dilemmas.

Major transitions in early coral development: novel insights enabled by visualisation of a comprehensive transcriptomic dataset for Acropora millepora

BMC Biology
Background Given the ecological importance of reef-building corals (Scleractinia), it is perhaps surprising that the molecular mechanisms underlying many of the morphological and metabolic changes during their development remain unclear. In part, this is

Fluorescent protein-mediated colour polymorphism in reef corals: multicopy genes extend the adaptation/acclimatization potential to variable light environments

, 2015
The genomic framework that enables corals to adjust to unfavourable conditions is crucial for coral reef survival in a rapidly changing climate. We have explored the striking intraspecific variability in the expression of coral pigments from the green ...

Protracted declines in coral cover and fish abundance following climate-induced coral bleaching on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]

, 2009
Understanding how corals and coral-dependant organisms respond to major disturbances is critical in predicting long-term changes in the structure and dynamics of coral reef assemblages affected by ongoing climate change.
