Diversity and Prevalence of Coral Diseases in the Nearshore Regions of the Northern South China Sea

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 12, December 2025.
This study presents the first systematic survey of coral disease diversity and prevalence in the nearshore regions of the northern South China Sea. Six common diseases and eight stress‐related phenomena were documented across seven sites, revealing distinct regional patterns and host‐specific susceptibilities.

Density dependent habitat selection in response to habitat loss in a coral reef fish

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 94, Issue 12, Page 2421-2430, December 2025.
Habitat loss triggers a social chain reaction: adult reef fish crowd onto remaining coral, then spill over onto dead coral—and juveniles follow. This study reveals a novel, socially driven ‘bandwagon effect’ that may lead to ecological traps, highlighting hidden behavioural risks in degraded marine ecosystems.

Reproductive investment and fecundity of Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster cf. solaris) on the Great Barrier Reef

, 2021
Crown-of-thorns starfish (Acanthaster spp.) is reported to have exceptional reproductive capacity, but this has been largely inferred based on the overall weight of gonads (and mostly for females), and there are limited estimates of the concentration of ...

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

People 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

Journal 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

Restoration 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.

Connectivity of Coral Reefs Along the Kuroshio Current Calls for Transboundary Conservation Strategies

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
We conducted biophysical modelling of 30 years of larval dispersal across the Northwest Pacific to identify major sources of coral larvae to the Yaeyama and Miyako Islands (YAE) in Japan. Of the externally sourced larvae reaching YAE, approximately 70% came from the Philippines, around 20% from Taiwan and only a few percent from Japan.

Review of the Crown-of-thorns Starfish Research Committee (COTSREC) Program

, 1995
In December 1988, following criticism in the media of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority's handling of the crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) issue, the then Minister for the Arts, Sport, the Environment, Tourism and Territories, Senator the ...

Towards Implementing Multispecies Harvest Strategies That Are Robust to Interacting Populations

Fish and Fisheries, Volume 26, Issue 5, Page 923-941, September 2025.
To advance the implementation of fisheries management that is robust to interacting populations (RIP), ecosystem management approaches can be structured using four main categories: (A) whole‐of‐ecosystem; (B) focus or key species; (C) species of conservation concern; and (D) pest or climate‐immigrant species.
