Reimagining Coral Reefs

open access: yes, 2023
Re-Imagining Coral Reefs is a virtual reality (VR) experience aimed at communicating the climate science of coral reef research to a wider audience. Part of the London Festival of Architecture (LFA)’s programme of events, Re-Imagining Coral Reefs is ...

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 2017
Coral reefs support immense biodiversity and provide important ecosystem services to many millions of people. Yet reefs are degrading rapidly in response to numerous anthropogenic drivers. In the coming centuries, reefs will run the gauntlet of climate change, and rising temperatures will transform them into new configurations, unlike anything observed

Fungiidae Classification, Life History, and Biogeographic Research Progress

open access: yesRedai dili, 2022
Most species of Fungiidae are formed by a single giant polyp that secretes calcium carbonate, which is one of the main builders of the coral reef ecosystem frameworks.

Patterns of Genetic Structuring in the Coral Pocillopora Damicornis on Reefs in East Africa. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Studies of population genetic structures provide an indication of direction and magnitude of larval transport and hence are an important component in the assessment of the ability of reefs to recover from severe disturbance.

Human impact on atolls leads to coral loss and community homogenisation : a modeling study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
We explore impacts on pristine atolls subjected to anthropogenic near-field (human habitation) and far-field (climate and environmental change) pressure.

Climate warming, marine protected areas and the ocean-scale integrity of coral reef ecosystems [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Coral reefs have emerged as one of the ecosystems most vulnerable to climate variation and change. While the contribution of a warming climate to the loss of live coral cover has been well documented across large spatial and temporal scales, the ...

Episodic heterogeneous decline and recovery of coral cover in the Indian Ocean [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Long-term changes in coral cover for the Caribbean and the Pacific/Southeast Asia regions (PSEA) have proven extremely useful in assessing the main drivers, magnitude and timescales of change.

Global gradients of coral exposure to environmental stresses and implications for local management [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: The decline of coral reefs globally underscores the need for a spatial assessment of their exposure to multiple environmental stressors to estimate vulnerability and evaluate potential counter-measures.
