No apparent cost of disease resistance on reproductive output in Acropora cervicornis genets used for active coral reef restoration in Florida

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
As assisted sexual reproduction interventions continue to become embedded within coral reef restoration initiatives, it is important to understand the potential for trade-offs between key traits like reproductive output and disease resistance.

Spatial and Temporal Patterns of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease Outbreaks in The Bahamas

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Coral reefs of Grand Bahama and New Providence islands in The Bahamas have been surveyed several times over the past decade, and long-term monitoring indicates declines in coral cover associated with hurricanes, bleaching events, and local threats ...

Spatiotemporal Variation in Coral Assemblages and Reef Habitat Complexity among Shallow Fore-Reef Sites in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary

Diversity, 2022
With the unprecedented degradation and loss of coral reefs at multiple scales, the underlying changes in abiotic and biotic features relevant to the three-dimensional architecture of coral reefs are critical to conservation and restoration.

Oceanic productivity and high-frequency temperature variability—not human habitation—supports calcifier abundance on central Pacific coral reefs

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Past research has demonstrated how local-scale human impacts—including reduced water quality, overfishing, and eutrophication—adversely affect coral reefs. More recently, global-scale shifts in ocean conditions arising from climate change have been shown

Decadal stability in coral cover could mask hidden changes on reefs in the East Asian Seas

Communications Biology, 2023
Coral reefs in the Central Indo-Pacific region comprise some of the most diverse and yet threatened marine habitats. While reef monitoring has grown throughout the region in recent years, studies of coral reef benthic cover remain limited in spatial and ...

Passive acoustic monitoring complements traditional methods for assessing marine habitat enhancement outcomes

Ecosphere, 2021
Habitat enhancement, often accomplished through the introduction of artificial structures, is a common strategy used by marine resource managers to provide habitat subsidies, protect sensitive habitat, and create new fishing opportunities.

Drone lidar-derived surface complexity metrics as indicators of intertidal oyster reef condition

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) generate structurally complex reef systems that offer diverse ecosystem services. However, there is limited understanding of how reef structure translates into reef condition.
