Exploitation, secondary extinction and the altered trophic structure of Jamaican coral reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Coral reef communities of the Greater Antilles in the Caribbean have a long history of anthropogenic disturbance, driven by the exploitation for food of both vertebrate and invertebrate species.

Transitions in coral reef accretion rates linked to intrinsic ecological shifts on turbid-zone nearshore reefs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Nearshore coral communities within turbid settings are typically perceived to have limited reef-building capacity. However, several recent studies have reported reef growth over millennial time scales within such environments and have hypothesized that ...

Solvent‐Rich Pre‐Coagulation Bath for Tunable Liquid‐State Fusion Enables Robust Two‐Step Polymer Embedded Printing

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Additive manufacturing enables complex structures, but polymer printing often suffers from poor interlayer fusion and defects induced by heat or binders. A two‐step, room‐temperature strategy based on immersion phase separation (IPS‐E3DP) achieves precise liquid‐state fusion with high structural fidelity, enhanced mechanical performance, broad material

Modeling Fine-Scale Coral Larval Dispersal and Interisland Connectivity to Help Designate Mutually-Supporting Coral Reef Marine Protected Areas: Insights from Maui Nui, Hawaii

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2017
Connectivity among individual marine protected areas (MPAs) is one of the most important considerations in the design of integrated MPA networks. To provide such information for managers in Hawaii, USA, a numerical circulation model was developed to ...

4D Insights into Coral Biomineralization: Effects of Ocean Acidification on the Early Skeleton Development of a Stony Coral

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Early coral skeletons grow through formation of two co‐joined zones, rapid accretion deposits and thickening deposits. Advanced imaging and simulations reveal that ocean acidification reshapes these zones, shifting the coral portfolio of mineral phases which alters skeletal resistance to mechanical stress.

The Sharing of the Same Host of Two Species of Anemonefish in the Gulf of Thailand, One of Which Is Possibly Introduced

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
At Samaesan Island, which is in Chon Buri Province, the Upper Gulf of Thailand, in 2018 we found skunk anemonefish (Amphiprion akallopisos) previously only known from the Andaman Sea that have been establishing their populations in the area at a 4-m ...

Coral spawning information [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Information on reproduction in reef corals is presented. An understanding of its reproductive behaviour is an important factor in helping to preserve the coral reef ...
