Biogeography and change among regional coral communities across the western Indian Ocean [PDF]

, 2014
Coral reefs are biodiverse ecosystems structured by abiotic and biotic factors operating across many spatial scales. Regional-scale interactions between climate change, biogeography and fisheries management remain poorly understood.

Reducing consumer pressure increases community dissimilarity leading to coral‐ or algal‐dominance on a coral reef

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In many ecosystems, anthropogenic influences are altering the strength of top‐down (e.g., herbivory and predation by consumers) and bottom‐up (e.g., nutrients) processes through the exploitation of consumers and increasing anthropogenic nutrient inputs.

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.

High‐frequency temperature monitoring with time‐resolved wavelet analysis reveals unrecognized complexities across depth on a coral reef ecosystem

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Temperature variation at fine scales of minutes to hours and ~ 1–100 m is ubiquitous in marine ecosystems and often exceeds variability at larger scales. However, we know little of how well temperatures at one location or depth can serve as proxies to represent other locations, which is important in predicting thermal patterns relevant to ...

Human impact on atolls leads to coral loss and community homogenisation : a modeling study [PDF]

, 2012
We explore impacts on pristine atolls subjected to anthropogenic near-field (human habitation) and far-field (climate and environmental change) pressure.

From temporal variability to integrated metabolic balance: Interpreting total alkalinity and dissolved inorganic carbon relationships in dynamic coral reef ecosystems

Limnology and Oceanography Letters, Volume 11, Issue 5, September 2026.
Abstract Linear regressions between total alkalinity (TA) and dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) are widely used to infer the balance between net ecosystem calcification (NEC) and net ecosystem production (NEP) in coral reefs. Using high‐frequency carbonate chemistry observations from an Australian reef flat and simple numerical models, we show that TA ...

Water contamination reduces the tolerance of coral larvae to thermal stress [PDF]

, 2010
Coral reefs are highly susceptible to climate change, with elevated sea surface temperatures (SST) posing one of the main threats to coral survival.

Assisted Gene Flow Yields Physiologically Robust Acropora palmata With Novel Allelic and Transcriptomic Profiles

Evolutionary Applications, Volume 19, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Assisted gene flow (AGF) is a conservation approach that facilitates the spread of alleles and may accelerate the recovery of genetically depauperate populations. The threatened Caribbean coral Acropora palmata is approaching regional extinction within the western Atlantic partly due to increasing water temperatures associated with global ...

Circumglobal Distribution of the Benthic Ctenophore Vallicula multiformis (Rankin 1956), Documented Through Diverse Observation Types

Journal of Biogeography, Volume 53, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim To improve our understanding of the distribution of Vallicula multiformis, we integrate a series of diverse observation types, including citizen science records, published literature, metagenomic datasets, published sequences, and newly acquired material, to evaluate whether geographically isolated records reflect a single broadly ...
