Environmental Drivers of Genetic Divergence in Two Corals From the Florida Keys [PDF]

Evolutionary Applications
Increasingly frequent marine heatwaves devastate coral reefs around the world, so there is great interest in finding warm‐adapted coral populations that could be used as sources for assisted gene flow and restoration.

Enhancing reef carbonate budgets through coral restoration [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Complex reef structure, built via calcium carbonate production by stony corals and other calcifying taxa, supports key ecosystem services. However, the decline in coral cover on reefs of the Florida Reef Tract (US), caused by ocean warming, disease, and ...

Northern Florida reef tract benthic metabolism scaled by remote sensing [PDF]

Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2006
Holistic rates of excess organic carbon production (E) and calcification for a 0.5 km 2 segment of the backreef platform of the northern Florida reef tract (NFRT) were estimated by com- bining biotope mapping using remote sensing with community metabolic rates determined with a benthic incubation system. The use of ASTER multispectral satellite imaging

Fine-Scale Coral Connectivity Pathways in the Florida Reef Tract: Implications for Conservation and Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020
Connectivity between coral reefs is critical to ensure their resilience and persistence against disturbances. It is driven by ocean currents, which often have very complex patterns within reef systems.

Repeated Thermal Stress, Shading, and Directional Selection in the Florida Reef Tract [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Over the last three decades reef corals have been subjected to an unprecedented frequency and intensity of thermal-stress events, which have led to extensive coral bleaching, disease, and mortality.

Environmental predictors for the restoration of a critically endangered coral, Acropora palmata, along the Florida reef tract. [PDF]

PLoS One
The population decline and lack of natural recovery of multiple coral species along the Florida reef tract have instigated the expanding application of coral restoration and conservation efforts. Few studies, however, have determined the optimal locations for the survival of outplanted coral colonies from restoration nurseries.

Saving the Last Unicorns: The Genetic Rescue of Florida’s Pillar Corals [PDF]

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
As stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) swept through the Florida Reef Tract, one of the most severely impacted species was the iconic pillar coral, Dendrogyra cylindrus.

Hurricane Irma Linked to Coral Skeletal Density Shifts on the Florida Keys Reef Tract. [PDF]

Integr Comp Biol
Synopsis Coral reefs are at risk due to various global and local anthropogenic stressors that impact the health of reef ecosystems worldwide. The most recent climate models predict that climate change will increase the frequency and intensity of tropical storms.

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.

Ranking 67 Florida Reefs for Survival of Acropora cervicornis Outplants

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Over the past three decades, coral populations have declined across the tropical and subtropical oceans because of thermal stress, coral diseases, and pollution.
