Distribución espacial, preferencial de hábitat y estado de salud de la población de dendrogyra cylindrus, coral endémico del complejo arrecifal de providencia, Caribe Colombiano [PDF]
, 2003 La distribución espacial de las principales unidades geomorfológicas y ecológicas se publicó recientemente para los arrecifes de Colombia. No obstante, para el país se desconoce la distribución espacial local de cualquier especie coralina en un ...

The past, present, and future of coral reef growth in the Florida Keys. [PDF]
Glob Chang Biol, 2022 We used carbonate budgets to reconstruct reef‐accretion potential at 46 reefs throughout the Florida Keys from 1996–2019. Whereas in 1996 many reefs grew at rates comparable with millennial‐scale baselines from reef cores, over the next two decades, thermal stress drove substantial losses of reef‐building corals.

Reproductive natural history and successful juvenile propagation of the threatened Caribbean pillar coral Dendrogyra cylindrus. [PDF]
BMC Ecol, 2015 The Caribbean pillar coral Dendrogyra cylindrus was recently listed as a threatened species under the United States Endangered Species Act. One of the major threats to this species is its low, virtually undetectable recruitment rate. To our knowledge, sexually-produced recruits have never been found in over 30 years of surveys of Caribbean reefs. Until

Considerations for maximizing the adaptive potential of restored coral populations in the western Atlantic. [PDF]
Ecol Appl, 2019 Abstract Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to enhance asexual propagation. From an evolutionary perspective, the goal of these efforts is to establish self‐sustaining, sexually reproducing coral populations ...

The unprecedented loss of Florida's reef-building corals and the emergence of a novel coral-reef assemblage. [PDF]
Ecology, 2019 Abstract Over the last half century, climate change, coral disease, and other anthropogenic disturbances have restructured coral‐reef ecosystems on a global scale. The disproportionate loss of once‐dominant, reef‐building taxa has facilitated relative increases in the abundance of “weedy” or stress‐tolerant coral species.

Repeated ex situ Spawning in Two Highly Disease Susceptible Corals in the Family Meandrinidae
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Members of the family Meandrinidae are highly susceptible to stony coral tissue loss disease, resulting in population reductions up to 88% in both Dendrogyra cylindrus and Meandrina meandrites along the Florida Reef Tract. Reductions in abundance on this

Restoration Ecology, Volume 31, Issue 7, September 2023., 2023 Reversing coral reef decline requires reducing environmental threats while actively restoring reef ecological structure and function. A promising restoration approach uses coral breeding to boost natural recruitment and repopulate reefs with genetically diverse coral communities. Recent advances in predicting spawning, capturing spawn, culturing larvae,

Measuring functional redundancy using generalized Hill numbers
Functional Ecology, Volume 37, Issue 5, Page 1304-1314, May 2023., 2023 Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract A number of metrics for quantifying the amount of functional redundancy in a community have been proposed over the years. Two of the most popular metrics are based on comparing a taxonomic diversity measure with a generalized form of the same measure that accounts for ...

Coral reef erosion: In situ measurement on different dead coral substrates on a Caribbean reef
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 67, Issue 12, Page 2734-2749, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Widespread mortality of reef‐building coral substantially reduces the capacity for reef growth and makes available extensive bare substrate areas that in the absence of coral recovery will be eroded by a variety of external and internal bioeroders.

Over three decades, a classic winner starts to lose in a Caribbean coral community
Ecosphere, Volume 12, Issue 5, May 2021., 2021 Abstract The biological world is rapidly changing following decades of anthropogenic disturbances. Under these conditions, species with stable or increasing abundances have been described as winners with the potential for future success, but this assertion is unreliable without knowledge of the selective basis of winning.
