Current Biology, 2008 Coral reefs are the most diverse of marine ecosystems, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of species associated with reefs. For this reason they are often called the rain forests of the sea, and as such they have been of interest not only to marine scientists but also to ecologists and evolutionary biologists broadly.

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.

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene [PDF]
Nature, 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

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation, 2022 Human activities in the ocean have never been chronically and continuously investigated on a large scale. Night-time light (NTL) images collected by the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program/Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) have been used as a ...

Coral Reefs and Carbon Dioxide [PDF]
Science, 1996 This commentary argues the conclusion from a previous article, which investigates diurnal changes in carbon dioxide partial pressure and community metabolism on coral reefs, that coral `reefs might serve as a sink, not a source, for atmospheric carbon dioxide.` Commentaries from two groups are given along with the response by the original authors ...
