A social license to operate theory for lethal control of crown‐of‐thorns starfish on the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesPeople and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 11, Page 2838-2851, November 2025.
Abstract Outbreaks of crown‐of‐thorns starfish (COTS) have been recorded on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) since 1962 and have considerable ecological and economic impact. Monitoring and control of COTS to predict, prevent and mitigate outbreaks is an important part of the ongoing protection of the GBR.

Beyond the numbers: Critical analysis of the role of postmortem tryptase in the forensic diagnosis of anaphylaxis

open access: yesJournal of Forensic Sciences, Volume 70, Issue 6, Page 2117-2128, November 2025.
Abstract The postmortem diagnosis of anaphylaxis remains a forensic challenge due to the lack of specific external signs. Tryptase, a mast cell‐derived protease, has emerged as a potential biomarker for fatal anaphylaxis. This systematic review critically examined 40 studies published between 2014 and 2024, including both biochemical and ...

Advances in coral reef restoration in the Mexican Pacific: active interventions and scaling approaches

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 8, November 2025.
Abstract Introduction Coral reefs face escalating threats from the synergic effects of natural and anthropogenic stressors, challenging traditional conservation strategies and prompting the emergence of direct intervention approaches for coral reef restoration.

Recurrent Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) Outbreaks Alter Coral Recovery Trajectories in the Central South China Sea

open access: yesEcosystem Health and Sustainability
Tracking the degradation and recovery of foundational organisms is key to understanding ecosystem sustainability. Using coral reefs as a model, we investigated how disturbance frequency affects the recovery of reef-building corals. We examined changes in

Potential Enhanced Survivorship of Crown of Thorns Starfish Larvae due to Near-Annual Nutrient Enrichment during Secondary Outbreaks on the Central Mid-Shelf of the Great Barrier Reef, Australia

open access: yesDiversity, 2017
The Great Barrier Reef (GBR) is currently experiencing widespread crown of thorns starfish (CoTS) outbreaks, as part of the fourth wave of outbreaks since 1962. It is believed that these outbreaks have become more frequent on the GBR and elsewhere in the

Citric Acid Injections: An Accessible and Efficient Method for Controlling Outbreaks of the Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Acanthaster cf. solaris

open access: yesDiversity, 2016
Outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris, COTS) are one of the primary causes of coral decline in the Indo-Pacific region. Effective methods to control COTS outbreaks may therefore be one of the most direct and immediate ways to

Advancing projections of crown-of-thorns starfish to support management interventions

open access: yesScience of The Total Environment
Outbreaks of corallivorous Crown of Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster spp.; CoTS) cause substantial coral mortality throughout the Indo-Pacific, particularly on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Refining CoTS population density modelling and understanding the disparities between real-world observations and model predictions is crucial for developing effective ...

Using Long-Term Removal Data to Manage a Crown-of-Thorns Starfish Population

open access: yesDiversity, 2016
Background: Removal programs are effective strategies for short-term management of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (Acanthaster spp.) populations, especially on a small scale.
