Thermophilization: Concepts, Methods, and Implications of Changes in Community Composition due to Global Warming

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.
As many species shift their geographic ranges coldward due to global warming, communities will undergo “thermophilization”—the increasing relative abundance of warm‐adapted (“thermophilic”) species and the concomitant decrease of cold‐adapted species over time.

The abundance, formation, and persistence of long sediment-laden algal turfs on Florida’s coral reef

Frontiers in Marine Science
Over recent decades, coral reefs worldwide have experienced substantial declines in coral cover as a result of interacting global and local stressors.

Genetic diversity and connectivity in the threatened staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) in Florida. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2010
Over the past three decades, populations of the dominant shallow water Caribbean corals, Acropora cervicornis and A. palmata, have been devastated by white-band disease (WBD), resulting in the listing of both species as threatened under the U.S ...

Why Are Most Fish Populations Genetically Homogeneous Along the Southwestern Atlantic Coast? The Role of Life History Traits in Shaping Genetic Patterns

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Investigate patterns of population genetic structure in Southwestern Atlantic marine fishes and evaluate how geographic range, habitat diversity, and evolutionary history shape population connectivity. Location Southwestern Atlantic, including the Caribbean, Brazilian coast, and Patagonian region, between 0°59′ N and 40°16′ S.

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.
Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

Seasonal Physiological Strategies Reveal Contrasting Host–Symbiont Dynamics Among Dominant Indo‐Pacific Reef‐Building Corals

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Seasonal changes in coral physiology reveal distinct acclimatization strategies among reef‐building corals. Symbiotic generalists exhibit large seasonal fluctuations driven primarily by symbiont dynamics, whereas symbiotic specialists maintain stable symbiont physiology through stronger host regulation.

Aragonite Saturation Horizon Variability Along North Pacific Seamounts and Implications for Deep‐Sea Coral Reefs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, Volume 131, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract The 2014 discovery of living deep‐sea coral reefs along the Northwest Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) and lower Emperor Seamount Chain (ESC), despite the North Pacific's shallow aragonite saturation horizon (ASH) and high CaCO3 dissolution rates, underscores the need to understand the local seawater chemistry where these reefs persist. We investigated

Assessment of nutrient amendments on stony coral tissue loss disease in Southeast Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science
Florida’s coral reefs are facing a multi-year outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) with dramatic consequences for coral communities. However, potential anthropogenic and environmental drivers of SCTLD progression and severity remain poorly

Pathogenesis of a Tissue Loss Disease Affecting Multiple Species of Corals Along the Florida Reef Tract

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
An outbreak of stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD), emerged on reefs off the coast of southeast Florida in 2014 and continues to spread throughout Florida’s Reef Tract.
