The evolution of reproduction in Ediacaran–Cambrian metazoans
ABSTRACT The evolution of reproductive style is a fundamental aspect of metazoan life history but has not been explored holistically through the Ediacaran–Cambrian rise of metazoans. Recent molecular clock analyses based on only unequivocal metazoan fossil calibrations suggest that Porifera were present by at least 590 million years ago (Ma), all major

S‐ACORD: Spectral Analysis of COral Reef Deformation
Abstract We propose an efficient pipeline to register, detect, and analyze changes in 3D models of coral reefs captured over time. Corals have complex structures with intricate geometric features at multiple scales. 3D reconstructions of corals (e.g., using Photogrammetry) are represented by dense triangle meshes with millions of vertices.

Effects of protection on large‐bodied reef fishes in the western Indian Ocean
Abstract Predatory and large‐bodied coral reef fishes have fundamental roles in the functioning and biodiversity of coral reef ecosystems, but their populations are declining, largely due to overexploitation in fisheries. These fishes include sharks, groupers, Humphead wrasse (Cheilinus undulatus), and Green Humphead parrotfish (Bolbometopon muricatum).
