The development of Rodriguez Bank, a Holocene mudbank in the Florida reef tract
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1976Abstract Rodriguez Bank is a Recent mound of unconsolidated calcareous sediments deposited during a relative rise in sea level in the absence of vigorous wave action. This mound, unlike modern coral-algal reefs, has no rigid organic framework and plants are directly and indirectly responsible for the accumulation.

Seasonal Dynamics of Macroalgal Communities of the Northern Florida Reef Tract
Botanica Marina, 2000Coral communities worldwide are undergoing intense degradation in response to natural and human disturbances, and many reef systems have already experienced significant declines in live coral cover associated with an increase in macroalgal abundance.

Spur and groove formation on the Florida Reef Tract
Journal of Sedimentary Research, 1963Abstract On 2 Florida reefs, submarine reef spurs 10-12 high and up to 50 ft wide were dissected with explosives so that internal structures could be examined. Millepora and alga-coated spurs were found to be composed mainly of in-situ coral (Acropora palmata). Comparison of living A.

The Florida Current (FC) is the branch of the Gulf Stream system within the Straits of Florida, connected to the Loop Current in the Gulf of Mexico. Cyclonic, cold‐core eddies travel along this oceanic current system, entering the Straits of Florida in the vicinity of the Dry Tortugas and evolving along the Florida Keys island chain and coral reefs ...

Dispersal capacity and genetic relatedness in Acropora cervicornis on the Florida Reef Tract
Coral Reefs, 2018Sexual reproduction in scleractinian corals is a critical component of species recovery, fostering population connectivity and enhancing genetic diveristy. The relative contribution of sexual reproduction to both connectivity and diversity in Acropora cervicornis may be variable due to this species’ capacity to reproduce effectively by fragmentation ...

Clionid sponge surveys on the Florida Reef Tract suggest land-based nutrient inputs
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2005Bioerosion by Cliona delitrix and Cliona lampa was assessed at 43 sites along the Florida Reef Tract, USA, in the summer of 2001. Sponge abundances were estimated using rapid visual assessment. Tissue samples of sponges were taken for analysis of delta15N. Comparison samples were taken from Belize.

Localized declines in coral condition are commonly linked to land-based sources of stressors that influence gradients of water quality, and the distance to sources of stressors is commonly used as a proxy for predicting the vulnerability and future status of reef resources.

In this study we examined the ability of the NASA Experimental Advanced Airborne Research Lidar (EAARL) to discriminate cluster zones of massive stony coral colonies on northern Florida reef tract (NFRT) patch reefs based on their topographic complexity (rugosity). Spatially dense EAARL laser submarine topographic soundings acquired in August 2002 were

The increase in anthropogenic carbon dioxide in seawater, termed ocean acidification (OA), depresses calcification rates of coral and algae, and may contribute toward reef ecosystem degradation. To test how future OA conditions will influence biologically-mediated dissolution (bioerosion) of coral by the common Caribbean boring sponge Pione lampa (de ...
