Machine learning approach to study microboring assemblage dynamics in two living massive coral genera

open access: yesLimnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.
Abstract The coral host comprises various microorganisms including those living in its skeleton. In coral skeletons, bioeroding microflora (cyanobacteria, algae, and fungi), which play an important role in reefs and coral resilience, produce specific traces (microborings) by actively dissolving the carbonate.

A social license to operate theory for lethal control of crown‐of‐thorns starfish on the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Outbreaks of crown‐of‐thorns starfish (COTS) have been recorded on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) since 1962 and have considerable ecological and economic impact. Monitoring and control of COTS to predict, prevent and mitigate outbreaks is an important part of the ongoing protection of the GBR.

Prey Density Threshold and Tidal Influence on Reef Manta Ray Foraging at an Aggregation Site on the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Large tropical and sub-tropical marine animals must meet their energetic requirements in a largely oligotrophic environment. Many planktivorous elasmobranchs, whose thermal ecologies prevent foraging in nutrient-rich polar waters, aggregate seasonally at
