Benthic communities on restored coral reefs confer equivalent aesthetic value to healthy reefs

Scientific Reports
Coral reefs are valuable ecosystems that provide diverse ecosystem services to people. For example, many reefs have exceptionally high tourism value, attracting visitors to experience their ecologically and visually rich reef habitat.

Rapid loss, and slow recovery, of coral reef structural complexity resulting from a prolonged marine heatwave

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Using Structure‐from‐Motion photogrammetry in a longitudinal study, we show that although coral reef habitat complexity had declined significantly by the end of the most prolonged tropical marine heatwave on record, no further losses were detected and 3 years later the reef had begun to recover this critical ecosystem function.

Threshold Effects in Coral Reef Fisheries [PDF]

Coral reefs may naturally flip between coral-dominated and algae-dominated states, when species' stocks trespass some threshold levels. This essay uses a stylized model of a coral reef to show how fishing may induce flips towards more algae-dominated ...

300 Years of Degradation in Wales Estuaries and Coasts

Natural Resources Forum, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The world's oceans are in a severe state of degradation, yet our understanding of that degradation is often based on changes observed only in the past 20–50 years. This narrow view leads to marine conservation efforts that aim to preserve already degraded ecosystems, shaped by shifted ecological baselines.

Coral bleaching responses in Sodwana Bay, South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
This study assessed the bleaching response (BR) of coral colonies within the central reef complex in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Bleach surveys were conducted at 16 sites on 8 reefs over the period of 2007 to 2013. A total of 12 858 coral colonies from 30

Patterns in Coral Fecundity Across the Indo-Pacific. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study provides the first large‐scale approximation of coral reproductive potential across the Indo‐Pacific by integrating empirical fecundity data, trait‐based imputation, and regional coral cover estimates for 277 species across 55 genera. Total reproductive output was estimated at 3.46 × 1018eggs for a single spawning event, with substantial ...
