Leverage points for transformative change towards nature inclusivity on Bonaire and Aruba
Abstract Transformative change for a just and sustainable world is urgent to halt and reverse biodiversity loss and climate change. Identifying leverage points for transformative change is crucial but difficult due to the complexity and interconnectedness of systems, compounded by uncertainty and diverse stakeholder views.

The Socio‐Cultural and Spiritual Dimensions on Non‐Marketed Environmental Valuation
ABSTRACT The present review aims to strengthen both the theoretical foundation and real‐world relevance of environmental valuation methods, especially in regions marked by cultural diversity or spiritual significance. Its goal is to explore how embracing socio‐cultural pluralism can support more inclusive, meaningful, and accepted environmental ...

Abstract Degradation of coral reefs over the past several decades has caused regional‐scale erosion of the shallow seafloor that serves as a protective barrier against coastal hazards along southeast Florida, USA. How future change in coral reefs may affect coastal flooding, however, has been less attended than other factors contributing to increasing ...

Our research leverages a natural, ecosystem‐scale experiment and cutting‐edge molecular isotope approaches to reveal that coral reef food web structure and energy flow can remain consistent across a gradient of human disturbance. Abstract Habitat degradation and overexploitation are key drivers of biodiversity loss globally.

Quantifying fish‐derived nutrient hotspots across reefscapes
We show how reef structural complexity at multiple scales shapes fish‐driven nutrient hotspots and benthic enrichment. By identifying thresholds in relief and fine‐scale complexity, our study reveals when and where nutrient hotspots may form on coral reefs, offering practical guidance for coral reef restoration and ecosystem management.

The Coral Host Microbiome Modulates the Virulence of the Bacterial Pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus
The coral microbiome has been shown to protect the host (bottom right panel), but dysbiosis can increase susceptibility to infection by the bacterial pathogen Vibrio coralliilyticus. Treatment of Montipora capitata coral with antibiotics induced dysbiosis, which increased infection rates of less pathogenic V. coralliilyticus strains.

Crustose coralline algae promote the survival and growth of coral recruits. However, these positive effects are not linked with the dynamics of the coral microbiome. Results reveal a transfer of opportunistic bacteria shared with all surrounding benthos, rather than a transfer of bacteria from specific algae to corals. ABSTRACT The persistence of coral
