Water contamination reduces the tolerance of coral larvae to thermal stress [PDF]
, 2010 Coral reefs are highly susceptible to climate change, with elevated sea surface temperatures (SST) posing one of the main threats to coral survival.

Marine Skeletons: Towards Hard Tissue Repair and Regeneration
Marine Drugs, 2018 Musculoskeletal disorders in the elderly have significantly increased due to the increase in an ageing population. The treatment of these diseases necessitates surgical procedures, including total joint replacements such as hip and knee joints.

Human impact on atolls leads to coral loss and community homogenisation : a modeling study [PDF]
, 2012 We explore impacts on pristine atolls subjected to anthropogenic near-field (human habitation) and far-field (climate and environmental change) pressure.

Coral skeleton P/Ca proxy for seawater phosphate: Multi-colony calibration with a contemporaneous seawater phosphate record [PDF]
, 2010 A geochemical proxy for surface ocean nutrient concentrations recorded in coral skeleton could provide new insight into the connections between sub-seasonal to centennial scale nutrient dynamics, ocean physics, and primary production in the past ...

Effect of fine-scale habitat differences on algal colonisation in a coral-dominated subtropical reef
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2021 Maintaining the coexistence of algae and corals depends on the interactions between them. We investigated these interactions to assess: (1) recruitment patterns of algal turfs over time in dead areas on live corals; (2) the influence of fine-scale ...

Keep up or drown: adjustment of western Pacific coral reefs to sea-level rise in the 21st century [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Since the Mid-Holocene, some 5000 years ago, coral reefs in the Pacific Ocean have been vertically constrained by sea level. Contemporary sea-level rise is releasing these constraints, providing accommodation space for vertical reef expansion.

Ciencias Marinas, 1994 This study is fundamentally focused on a simple, but relatively unpondered problem: the coral δ18O temperature sensitivity (dδ/dT). Previous paleotemperature studies of corals have involved the use of either: 1) the calcite’s δ18O temperature ...

Coral Reef Ecosystems under Climate Change and Ocean Acidification
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Coral reefs are found in a wide range of environments, where they provide food and habitat to a large range of organisms as well as providing many other ecological goods and services.
