Ecosystem‐Centered Robot Design: Toward Ecoresorbable Sustainability Robots (ESRs)
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Robots exploring natural ecosystems can support monitoring and conservation, but must adopt ecosystem‐centered design to avoid pollution, waste, and damage. This review proposes guidelines for co‐designing ecoresorbable sustainability robots (ESRs), uniting materials, robotics, and ecological contexts in a single framework.

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 ...

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 ...

Increasing thermal stress for tropical coral reefs: 1871–2017
Scientific Reports, 2018 Tropical corals live close to their upper thermal limit making them vulnerable to unusually warm summer sea temperatures. The resulting thermal stress can lead to breakdown of the coral-algal symbiosis, essential for the functioning of reefs, and cause ...

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals a hidden chemical weapon among calcareous‐shelled sessile organisms in the intertidal zone: the barnacle Balanus albicostatus releases a synergistic blend of palmitic acid and 1‐palmitoyl‐sn‐glycero‐3‐phosphocholine as the allelochemical with the inhibitory activity against attachment of the mussel Vignadula atrata, which may mediate

Reefs at Risk: A Map-Based Indicator of Threats to the Worlds Coral Reefs [PDF]
, 1998 This report presents the first-ever detailed, map-based assessment of potential threats to coral reef ecosystems around the world. "Reefs at Risk" draws on 14 data sets (including maps of land cover, ports, settle-ments, and shipping lanes), information ...

Risk‐sensitive planning for conserving coral reefs under rapid climate change
Conservation Letters, 2018 Coral reef ecosystems are seriously threatened by changing conditions in the ocean. Although many factors are implicated, climate change has emerged as a dominant and rapidly growing threat.

Reflexive thematic analysis and men's embodiment following injury or illness: A worked example
Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.Abstract Reflexive thematic analysis (reflexive TA) originated within psychology and the social sciences and has become an increasingly popular qualitative analytic method across a range of disciplines. In this article, we offer a brief methodological guide for researchers hoping to use the method, suitable for beginners through to those experienced in
