Fast-growing species shape the evolution of reef corals
Nature Communications, 2022 The effect of biotic interactions among reef corals on macroevolutionary patterns is unclear. Here, the authors study the rich coral fossil record, finding that reef coral diversity experienced potentially biotic interaction-driven evolutionary rate ...

Symbiotic immuno-suppression: is disease susceptibility the price of bleaching resistance? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2018 Accelerating anthropogenic climate change threatens to destroy coral reefs worldwide through the processes of bleaching and disease. These major contributors to coral mortality are both closely linked with thermal stress intensified by anthropogenic ...

Changing patterns of microhabitat utilization by the threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons, on Caribbean reefs. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2010 The threespot damselfish, Stegastes planifrons (Cuvier), is important in mediating interactions among corals, algae, and herbivores on Caribbean coral reefs. The preferred microhabitat of S. planifrons is thickets of the branching staghorn coral Acropora

Conservation actions and ecological context: optimizing coral reef local management in the Dominican Republic [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 Over the past few decades, coral reef ecosystems have been lost at accelerated rates as a result of global climate change and local stressors. Local management schemes can help improve the condition of coral reefs by enhancing their ecosystem recovery ...

Growth Rate of Staghorn Coral (Acropora) on Coral Garden Program at Sempu Nature Reserve Malang [PDF]
, 2015 Live coral cover at Sempu Nature Reserve was decrease from 50% in 2006 to 36% in 2013. Adverse human activities such as: over-fishing, recreational activities, waste disposal, deforestation, reef mining and deforestation were suggested to be main factors

Rapid recycling of coral mass-spawning products in permeable reef sediments. [PDF]
, 2004 During the annual synchronous release of gametes by corals, a large amount of energy-rich organic material is released to the reef environment. In November 2001, we studied a minor spawning event at Heron Island in the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), Australia.
