Emergent coral reef patterning via spatial self-organization
Coral ReefsRegularly patterned reef ridges develop in the lagoons of at least one-third of Earth's coral reefs. The interactions between corals and their environment, occurring at scales from millimeters to meters, can lead to self-organized spatial patterns spanning hundreds of meters to kilometers.

Microplastics: impacts on corals and other reef organisms [PDF]
Emerging Topics in Life Sciences, 2022 Plastic pollution in a growing problem globally. In addition to the continuous flow of plastic particles to the environment from direct sources, and through the natural wear and tear of items, the plastics that are already there have the potential to breakdown further and therefore provide an immense source of plastic particles. With the continued rise

Diverse metabolites of coral reef organisms [PDF]
Pure and Applied Chemistry, 2005 Abstract A detailed mechanism for the spontaneous transformation of 2-chloro-1-hydroxyoctoda-3(8),5-dien-4-one, a metabolite of Portieria hornemanni, into 4,5-dimethylbenzo[b]furan was presented. Five new terpenoids have been isolated from the red alga Laurencia luzonensis.

Microplastics alter feeding strategies of a coral reef organism [PDF]
Limnology and Oceanography Letters, 2022 AbstractIncreasing marine microplastic pollution has detrimentally impacted organismal physiology and ecosystem functioning. While previous studies document negative effects of microplastics on coral reef animals, the potential responses of organisms such as large benthic foraminifera (LBF) are largely unknown.

Sources of Organic Carbon to Coral Reef Flats [PDF]
Oceanography, 2013 Simultaneous measurement of the gross and net primary production of the benthic community and the net input of organic carbon delivered by currents to the coral reef flat of the north shore of Moorea, French Polynesia, confirms that carbon fixation by bottom-dwelling autotrophs, including algal symbionts in corals and benthic free-living algae, is the ...

Information brokerage in Caribbean coral reef governance networks
Environmental Conservation, 2020 Summary Poor connectivity between diverse resource users and complex wider governance networks is a challenge in environmental governance. Organizations that ‘broker’ interactions among these relationships are expected to improve governance outcomes ...
