The effect of two common reef organisms on the growth of the common reef coral Acropora formosa
Marine Biodiversity Records, 2009 Halimeda opuntia and Diplosoma virens are common marine organisms in the Indo-Pacific. Halimeda grows to dense populations, and the ability of didemnids to overgrow coral has been well documented. In the light of their abundance in the Hikkaduwa Nature Park in Sri Lanka, this study investigated the effect of these two associates on the growth and ...

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.Abstract Marine heatwaves (MHWs) have increased in frequency by 34% since 1990 and are projected to rise further with global ocean change, posing significant risks to marine ecosystems. Kelps (order Laminariales) provide essential habitats and play key ecological roles, but they are increasingly threatened by MHWs.

The Greenland–Scotland Ridge in a Changing Ocean: Time to Act?
Marine Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Greenland–Scotland Ridge is a submarine mountain that rises up to 500 m below the sea surface and extends from the east coast of Greenland to the continental shelf of Iceland and across the Faroe Islands to Scotland. The ridge not only separates deeper ocean basins on either side, that is, the North Atlantic and Arctic oceans, but also ...

A Review of the Ecology and Economics of Montserrat's Marine Resources [PDF]
, 2015 Montserrat is a small, volcanic island in the Caribbean Sea that has undergone significant economic and ecological change over the past three decades due to disruption caused by a hurricane and prolonged volcanic activity.

Molecular Ecology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Coral species abundance and biodiversity estimates are typically based on colony macromorphology. However, such measurements often underestimate the true diversity within coral communities because morphology does not necessarily reflect behavioral or genetic divergence. We previously reported on the unusual spawning behavior of the brain coral

Minimizing Vessel Strikes to Endangered Whales: A Crash Course in Conservation Science and Policy [PDF]
, 2009 The North Atlantic right whale is one of the most endangered of all large whales: about 350-400 individuals remain. Species recovery is, in part, contingent on reducing vessel-strike mortality.

Imagining outcomes of coral restoration and adaptation intervention in the Great Barrier Reef
Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.Restoration initiatives are expanding globally to address climate and biodiversity threats and to help ecosystems adapt to environmental change. Research in Australia's Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is exploring novel intervention options to scale up restoration, protect corals from climate extremes, and accelerate their adaptation to heat stress.

Sedimentology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Despite high convergence velocity, the southern Ryukyu subduction has relatively low and sparse instrumental seismicity, in contrast with the Yaeyama Islands, hit by huge tsunamis over the last few thousand years. This study explores the potential of deep marine sediments to record past large earthquakes and tsunamis.
