The function and stability of mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have been extensively
studied in recent years. These deep reefs are characterized by local physical processes …

Conservation paleobiology has coalesced over the last two decades since its formal coining,
united by the goal of applying geohistorical records to inform the conservation …

Diseases are major drivers of the deterioration of coral reefs and are linked to major
declines in coral abundance, reef functionality, and reef-related ecosystems services. An …

Assisted gene flow (AGF) is a conservation intervention to accelerate species adaptation to
climate change by importing genetic diversity into at-risk populations. Corals exemplify both …

Corals are experiencing unprecedented decline from climate change‐induced mass
bleaching events. Dispersal not only contributes to coral reef persistence through …

The important role of coral reefs in protecting people, economies and infrastructure is widely
acknowledged. Coral reefs are highly effective at reducing wave energy and thereby …

The world's oceans are warming at an unprecedented rate, causing dramatic changes to
coastal marine systems, especially coral reefs. We used three complementary ocean …

The mass die‐off of Caribbean corals has transformed many of this region's reefs to
macroalgal‐dominated habitats since systematic monitoring began in the 1970s. Although …

The ecology and structure of many tropical coral reefs have been markedly altered over the
past few decades. Although long‐term recovery has been observed in terms of coral cover, it …

Hotspots of tropical marine biodiversity are areas that harbour disproportionately large
numbers of species compared to surrounding regions. The richness and location of these …
