Coral reefs are under extreme threat due to a number of stressors, but temperature
increases due to changing climate are the most severe. Rising ocean temperatures coupled …

Coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems. However, coral cover has decreased
worldwide due to natural disturbances, climate change, and local anthropogenic drivers. In …

The speed at which species adapt depends partly on the rates of beneficial adaptation
generation and how quickly they spread within and among populations. Natural rates of …

Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) has spread throughout the entirety of Florida's
Coral Reef (FCR) and across the Caribbean, impacting at least 30 coral species. The …

Temperature drives biological responses that scale from the cellular to ecosystem levels and
thermal sensitivity will shape organismal functions and population dynamics as the world …

Coral cover is decreasing worldwide largely as a result of a rise in seawater temperatures
that triggers coral bleaching and induces coral mortality. How coral reefs will respond to …

While coral larval exchange among reef patches is crucial to the persistence of coral
metapopulations, larval retention within patches is critical for local population maintenance …

Despite general declines in coral reef ecosystems in the tropical western Atlantic, some
reefs, including mesophotic reefs (30–150 m), are hypothesized to function as coral refugia …

Coral reef habitats surrounding Cuba include relatively healthy, well-developed shallow and
mesophotic (30–150 m) scleractinian communities at the cross-currents of the Tropical …

Larval connectivity among and within coral reefs is important for sustaining coral
metapopulations, enhancing ecosystem resilience through species and genetic diversity …
