Active Coral Restoration to Preserve the Biodiversity of a Highly Impacted Reef in the Maldives
Diversity, 2023 Maldivian coral reefs have been experiencing significant degradation due to a combination of global climate change and local anthropogenic pressures. To enforce the conservation of coral reefs worldwide, coral restoration is becoming a popular tool to ...

The N-terminal intrinsically disordered domain of mgm101p is localized to the mitochondrial nucleoid. [PDF]
, 2013 The mitochondrial genome maintenance gene, MGM101, is essential for yeasts that depend on mitochondrial DNA replication. Previously, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it has been found that the carboxy-terminal two-thirds of Mgm101p has a functional core ...

Cuban Land Use and Conservation, from Rainforests to Coral Reefs [PDF]
, 2018 Cuba is an ecological rarity in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its complex political and economic history shows limited disturbances, extinctions, pollution, and resource depletion by legal or de facto measures.

Coral Translocation as a Method to Restore Impacted Deep-Sea Coral Communities [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Corals and sponges in rocky deep-sea environments are foundation species postulated to enhance local diversity by increasing biogenic habitat heterogeneity and enriching local carbon cycling. These key groups are highly vulnerable to disturbances (e.g., trawling, mining, and pollution) and are threatened by expansive changes in ocean conditions linked ...

The potential for coral reef restoration to mitigate coastal flooding as sea levels rise
Nature Communications, 2023 The ability of reefs to protect coastlines from storm-driven flooding hinges on their capacity to keep pace with sea-level rise. Here, we show how and whether coral restoration could achieve the often-cited goal of reversing the impacts of coral-reef ...

Motivations, success, and cost of coral reef restoration [PDF]
Restoration Ecology, 2019 Coral reef restoration is an increasingly important part of tropical marine conservation. Information about what motivates coral reef restoration as well as its success and cost is not well understood but is needed to inform restoration decisions. We systematically review and synthesize data from mostly scientific studies published in peer‐reviewed and

Establishing microbial baselines to identify indicators of coral reef health [PDF]
, 2017 Microorganisms make a significant contribution to reef ecosystem health and resilience via their critical role in mediating nutrient transformations, their interactions with macro-organisms and their provision of chemical cues that underpin the ...

Novel infrastructure for coral gardening and reefscaping
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023 Since 1950, coral abundance has declined worldwide by an estimated 60%, and further dramatic declines are predicted. Although global reductions in carbon emissions are essential to prevent further loss, coral reef restoration has become imperative to ...
