Mesoscale Circulation and Coral Community Disturbance at Isolated Reefs

Global Change Biology Communications, EarlyView.
The Loop Current is a seasonally and interannually dynamic mesoscale oceanographic feature in the Gulf of Mexico that strongly influences connectivity and environmental conditions across the region. We investigated the influence of Loop Current variability on coral reef disturbances at isolated reefs in the northwest Gulf, including coral disease ...

Viral-Like Particles Are Associated With Endosymbiont Pathology in Florida Corals Affected by Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) was first documented in 2014 near the Port of Miami, Florida, and has since spread north and south along Florida’s Coral Reef, killing large numbers of more than 20 species of coral and leading to the functional ...

Field Guide to Nonindigenous Marine Fishes of Florida [PDF]

, 2009
The purpose of this field guide is to provide information on nonindigenous (i.e., non-native) fishes that have been observed in Florida’s marine waters. Introductions of non-native marine fishes into Florida’s waters could be intentional or unintentional,

Dietary resilience of coral reef fishes to habitat degradation

Journal of Animal Ecology, EarlyView.
Metabarcoding of gut contents shows that two common benthic‐feeding reef fishes with different feeding stratgies—a butterflyfish (Chaetodon capistratus) and a hamlet (Hypoplectrus puella)—shift diets on degraded reefs. These shifts mirror contrasting patterns in body condition: butterflyfish showed strong individual variation, whereas condition was ...

Coral reef restoration can reduce coastal contamination and pollution hazards

Communications Earth & Environment
Coral reef restoration can reduce the wave-driven flooding for coastal communities. However, this protection has yet to be assessed in terms of the reduced risk of flood-driven environmental contamination.

Success of restoration strategies in preventing extirpation of 2 critically endangered coral species

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract An unprecedented marine heatwave in 2023 caused widespread coral bleaching and mortality throughout the Caribbean. In the Florida Keys (USA), 2 foundation species, elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata) and staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), were severely affected.

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Conceptualizing and contextualizing “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Current restoration efforts are lagging behind the extent and pace of environmental degradation. This emphasizes the need and urgency to scale up ecological restoration. This study sought to understand the context of “large‐scale” and “scaling‐up” ecological restoration, that is, what it means, entails, where, and how it is implemented by ...
