PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Botanical exploration, discovery and conservation rely heavily on access to herbarium collections. Recently, digital access to label information, including georeferenced locality data, and images of herbarium specimens available online have greatly increased usage of herbarium specimen data.

Thermal performance of scleractinian corals along a latitudinal gradient on the Great Barrier Reef
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences, 2019 Species have evolved different mechanisms to cope with spatial and temporal temperature variability. Species with broad geographical distributions may be thermal generalists that perform well across a broad range of temperatures, or they might contain ...

Joint modulation of coastal rainfall in Northeast Australia by local and large‐scale forcings
Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.Spatially heterogeneous rainfall patterns over the coastal regions of northern Queensland are consistent between radar observations and model simulations. Rainfall propagation modulates the average rainfall distribution, leading to inhomogeneous rainfall patterns along the coast.

Breaking down seagrass fragmentation in a marine heatwave impacted World Heritage Area
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.Habitat fragmentation can exacerbate the impacts of habitat loss but is rarely quantified in marine environments. Using satellite‐derived habitat maps, we identify widespread seagrass fragmentation following a marine heatwave that contributed to a dramatic shift in seascape structure in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area.

Catchment management and the Great Barrier Reef
Water Science and Technology, 2001 Pollution of coastal regions of the Great Barrier Reef is dominated by runoff from the adjacent catchment. Catchment land-use is dominated by beef grazing and cropping, largely sugarcane cultivation, with relatively minor urban development. Runoff of sediment, nutrients and pesticides is increasing and for nitrogen is now four times the natural amount ...

Variation in growth rates of branching corals along Australia’s Great Barrier Reef
Scientific Reports, 2017 Coral growth is an important component of reef health and resilience. However, few studies have investigated temporal and/or spatial variation in growth of branching corals, which are important contributors to the structure and function of reef habitats.
