Fungiidae Classification, Life History, and Biogeographic Research Progress

Redai 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.

Borneo coral reefs subject to high sediment loads show evidence of resilience to various environmental stressors [PDF]

, 2019
For reefs in South East Asia the synergistic effects of rapid land development, insufficient environmental policies and a lack of enforcement has led to poor water quality and compromised coral health from increased sediment and pollution.

Region-wide temporal and spatial variation in Caribbean reef architecture: is coral cover the whole story? [PDF]

, 2010
The architectural complexity of coral reefs is largely generated by reef-building corals, yet the effects of current regional-scale declines in coral cover on reef complexity are poorly understood.

Impacts of stratospheric aerosol geoengineering strategy on Caribbean coral reefs [PDF]

, 2017
Purpose: Currently, negotiation on global carbon emissions reduction is very difficult due to lack of international willingness. In response, geoengineering (climate engineering) strategy is proposed to artificially cool the planet.

Transitions in coral reef accretion rates linked to intrinsic ecological shifts on turbid-zone nearshore reefs [PDF]

, 2016
Nearshore coral communities within turbid settings are typically perceived to have limited reef-building capacity. However, several recent studies have reported reef growth over millennial time scales within such environments and have hypothesized that ...

From citizen science to policy development on the coral reefs of Jamaica [PDF]

, 2012
This paper explores the application of citizen science to help generation of scientific data and capacity-building, and so underpin scientific ideas and policy development in the area of coral reef management, on the coral reefs of Jamaica. From 2000 to

Baseline coral disease surveys within three marine parks in Sabah, Borneo [PDF]

, 2015
Two of the most significant threats to coral reefs worldwide are bleaching and disease. However, there has been a scarcity of research on coral disease in South-East Asia, despite the high biodiversity and the strong dependence of local communities on ...

Metabolomics Characterization of Scleractinia Corals with Different Life-History Strategies: A Case Study about Pocillopora meandrina and Seriatopora hystrix in the South China Sea

Metabolites, 2022
Life-history strategies play a critical role in susceptibility to environmental stresses for Scleractinia coral. Metabolomics, which is capable of determining the metabolic responses of biological systems to genetic and environmental changes, is ...
