The future of coral reefs [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2001
Coral reefs, with their millions of species, have changed profoundly because of the effects of people, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Reefs are subject to many of the same processes that affect other human-dominated ecosystems, but some special features merit emphasis: (i) Many dominant reef builders spawn eggs and sperm into ...

Building consistent time series night-time light data from average DMSP/OLS images for indicating human activities in a large-scale oceanic area

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 ...

Comparative Genomics Reveal the Animal-Associated Features of the Acanthopleuribacteraceae Bacteria, and Description of Sulfidibacter corallicola gen. nov., sp., nov.

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Members of the phylum Acidobacteria are ubiquitous in various environments. Soil acidobacteria have been reported to present a variety of strategies for their success in terrestrial environments.

A pre-zygotic barrier to hybridization in two con-generic species of scleractinian corals [v1; ref status: indexed, http://f1000r.es/1uz]

F1000Research, 2013
Hybridization is often cited as a potential source of evolutionary novelty in the order Scleractinia. While hybrid embryos can be produced in vitro, it has been difficult to identify adult hybrids in the wild.

Patterns of change in coral reef communities of a remote Maldivian atoll revisited after eleven years [PDF]

PeerJ, 2023
Coral reefs are exposed worldwide to several global and local human pressures including climate change and coastal development. Assessing the effects of such pressures on coral reef communities and the changes they undergo over time is mandatory to ...

Deriving fine-scale patterns of sea surface temperature in coral reef habitats using the Landsat 8 thermal infrared sensor

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
The available sea surface temperature (SST) products are too coarse to assess the fine-scale (<1 km) SST variations related to coral bleaching. In this study, we proposed an optimal SST inversion model using Landsat 8 thermal infrared sensor (TIRS ...

Analysis on the Live Coral Cover around Weizhou Island Using MODIS Data

Sensors, 2019
Coral reefs are important as they can help to maintain ecological balance, biological resources, and species diversity on earth. However, they are globally threatened by human activities and climate change.

Mangroves enhance the biomass of coral reef fish communities in the Caribbean [PDF]

, 2004
Mangrove forests are one of the world's most threatened tropical ecosystems with global loss exceeding 35% (ref. 1). Juvenile coral reef fish often inhabit mangroves, but the importance of these nurseries to reef fish population dynamics has not been ...

Microbial and transcriptional response of Acropora valida and Turbinaria peltata to Vibrio coralliilyticus challenge: insights into corals disease resistance

BMC Microbiology
Background Coral diseases are significant drivers of global coral reef degradation, with pathogens dominated by Vibrio coralliilyticus playing a prominent role in the development of coral diseases.
