Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas
and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of …

Most reviews concerning the impact of climate change on coral reefs discuss independent
effects of warming or ocean acidification. However, the interactions between these, and …

Climate-induced coral bleaching is among the greatest current threats to coral reefs, causing
widespread loss of live coral cover. Conditions under which reefs bounce back from …

Mutualisms, interactions between two species that benefit both of them, have long captured
the public imagination. Their influence transcends levels of biological organization from cells …

A vacillating global heat sink at intermediate ocean depths is associated with different
climate regimes of surface warming under anthropogenic forcing: The latter part of the 20th …

With marine biodiversity declining globally at accelerating rates, maximising the
effectiveness of conservation has become a key goal for local, national and international …

Coral reefs are in global decline, converting from dominance by coral to dominance by
seaweed. Once seaweeds become abundant, coral recovery is suppressed unless …

Ecological communities are reorganizing in response to warming temperatures. For
continuous ocean habitats this reorganization is characterized by large‐scale species …

Functional redundancy contributes to resilience if different species in the same functional
group respond to disturbance in different ways (response diversity). If species in a functional …

Coral reefs provide food and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people as well as
harbour some of the highest regions of biodiversity in the ocean. However, overexploitation …
