Reserve Sizes Needed to Protect Coral Reef Fishes [PDF]

Conservation Letters, 2017
AbstractMarine reserves are a commonly applied conservation tool, but their size is often chosen based on considerations of socioeconomic rather than ecological impact. Here, we use a simple individual‐based model together with the latest empirical information on home ranges, densities and schooling behaviour in 66 coral reef fishes to quantify the ...

Restoration and coral adaptation delay, but do not prevent, climate-driven reef framework erosion of an inshore site in the Florida Keys

Scientific Reports, 2023
For reef framework to persist, calcium carbonate production by corals and other calcifiers needs to outpace loss due to physical, chemical, and biological erosion.

Is Acropora Palmata recovering? A case study in Los Roques National Park, Venezuela [PDF]

, 2016
Eight years ago (2007), the distribution and status of Acropora palmata was quantified throughout Los Roques archipelago in Venezuela. The aim was to produce a baseline study for this species which combined population genetics with demographic data.

Effects of thermal stress on amount, composition, and antibacterial properties of coral mucus [PDF]

PeerJ, 2019
The surface mucus layer of reef-building corals supports feeding, sediment clearing, and protection from pathogenic invaders. As much as half of the fixed carbon supplied by the corals’ photosynthetic symbionts is incorporated into expelled mucus.
