The physiological response of the deep-sea coral Solenosmilia variabilis to ocean acidification [PDF]

open access: yesPeerJ, 2018
Several forms of calcifying scleractinian corals provide important habitat complexity in the deep-sea and are consistently associated with a high biodiversity of fish and other invertebrates.

Effects of reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations on physiology and fluorescence of hermatypic corals and benthic algae. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
While shifts from coral to seaweed dominance have become increasingly common on coral reefs and factors triggering these shifts successively identified, the primary mechanisms involved in coral-algae interactions remain unclear. Amongst various potential

Reconstructing Early Human Subsistence in Near Oceania: New Insights From Matenkupkum and Matenbek

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The colonization of New Ireland ~44–40,000 years ago represents the earliest evidence of human occupation in Near Oceania. Yet, the precise impacts of climatic changes on subsistence strategies during the Late Pleistocene, Last Glacial Maximum, and Holocene remain poorly understood.

Widespread Occurrence of a Rarely Known Association between the Hydrocorals Stylaster roseus and Millepora alcicornis at Bonaire, Southern Caribbean

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Among symbiotic associations, cases of pseudo-auto-epizoism, in which a species uses a resembling but not directly related species as substrate, are poorly documented in coral reef ecosystems.

Benthic megafauna and the functioning of macroalgal forests and urchin barrens

open access: yesOikos, EarlyView.
Two temperate rocky reef food‐web models, representing the trophic diversity of the Mediterranean rocky reef communities, were built for the two stable states: macroalgal forests and barren grounds, which are characterized by opposite amounts of erect macroalgal biomass.

Assessment of the Coral Reefs of the Turks and Caicos Islands (Part 1: Stony Corals and Algae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Major constituents of the benthic reef community (stony corals, algae) were assessed in 28 reefs on the Caicos, Turks and Mouchoir Banks. Living stony coral cover ranged from 8-28%, averaging 18% overall. Montastraea annularis and M.

Using a social‐ecological macrosystems framework to understand how human activities alter ecological synchrony

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Different aspects of ecological systems, biotic or abiotic, often fluctuate in coordinated patterns over space and time. Such high concordance between ecological processes is often referred to as ecological synchrony. Human activities, including and beyond climate change, have the potential to alter ecological synchrony by disrupting or ...
