Evaluating the protection status and exposure to warming of Caribbean reefs with high functional potential

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Over the past decades, climate change has emerged as a major threat to global biodiversity, negatively affecting the integrity and functioning of ecosystems and the benefits they provide to people. To mitigate these impacts, it is essential to identify climate refugia that support the persistence of the structure and function of reef ...

Reef fishes of Saba Bank, Netherlands Antilles : Assemblage structure across a gradient of habitat types [PDF]

, 2010
Saba Bank is a 2,200 km2 submerged carbonate platform in the northeastern Caribbean Sea off Saba Island, Netherlands Antilles. The presence of reef-like geomorphic features and significant shelf edge coral development on Saba Bank have led to the ...

Acclimation and size influence predation, growth, and survival of sexually produced Diploria labyrinthiformis used in restoration

Scientific Reports
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has swept through Florida reefs and caused mass mortality of numerous coral species. In the wake of these losses, efforts are underway to propagate coral species impacted by SCTLD and promote population recovery ...

Assessing the efficacy of coral restoration along Florida’s coral reef under the chronic persistence of stony coral tissue loss disease

Frontiers in Marine Science
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has caused unprecedented coral mortality across Florida’s Coral Reef (FCR) since 2014, raising concerns about whether coral restoration can succeed under chronic disease conditions and whether outplanting ...

Integrating fossil data in ecological niche models to improve predictions of future habitat of Caribbean corals

Conservation Biology, Volume 40, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Ecological niche models (ENMs) are used to assess the abiotic preferences of species by linking their occurrences to the environmental conditions in which they live. We developed a fossil‐informed ENM framework that integrates mid‐Holocene and modern occurrences to test niche stability and reconstruct abiotic niche characteristics for four ...

Coral bleaching responses in Sodwana Bay, South Africa [PDF]

, 2013
This study assessed the bleaching response (BR) of coral colonies within the central reef complex in Sodwana Bay, South Africa. Bleach surveys were conducted at 16 sites on 8 reefs over the period of 2007 to 2013. A total of 12 858 coral colonies from 30

Advancing Symbiodiniaceae Functional Ecology Through a Trait‐Based Framework

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
Symbiodiniaceae dinoflagellates are central to coral reef functioning, supporting primary production, nutrient cycling, calcification, and influencing coral thermal tolerance through intracellular symbiosis. Despite their ecological importance, these symbionts have not yet been incorporated into a formal functional ecology framework due to challenges ...

Repeated Observations Suggesting Kleptoparasitism by a Common Bottlenose Dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) on the Great Barrier Reef

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
This study documents the first detailed case of kleptoparasitism in cetaceans, with observations of a Common Bottlenose Dolphin repeatedly pursuing Bigeye Trevally to induce the fish to regurgitate their prey, which is then consumed by the dolphin.

Reference‐Guided Chromosome‐Scale Genome Assembly With Insights on Population Genomics of the Atlantic Goliath Grouper (Epinephelus itajara), Islas del Rosario, Colombia

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2026.
We present a high‐quality chromosome‐level genome assembly and population genomic analysis of the critically endangered Goliath grouper (Epinephelus itajara) using PacBio HiFi and Illumina sequencing technologies. The 1.12 Gb genome assembly showed high contiguity and identified 22,692 protein‐coding genes, while comparative analyses revealed conserved
