The world's coral reefs are rapidly transforming, with decreasing coral cover and new
species configurations. These new Anthropocene reefs pose a challenge for conservation; …

Anthropogenic climate change is a rapidly intensifying selection pressure on biodiversity
across the globe and, particularly, on the world's coral reefs. The rate of adaptation to …

Ocean warming and acidification threaten the future growth of coral reefs. This is because
the calcifying coral reef taxa that construct the calcium carbonate frameworks and cement …

With the ongoing loss of coral cover and the associated flattening of reef architecture,
understanding the links between coral habitat and reef fishes is of critical importance. Here …

Global climate change threatens tropical coral reefs, yet local management can influence
resilience. While increasing anthropogenic nutrients reduce coral resistance and recovery, it …

Trait-based approaches advance ecological and evolutionary research because traits
provide a strong link to an organism's function and fitness. Trait-based research might lead …

Declines in habitat structural complexity have marked ecological outcomes, as currently
observed in many of the world's ecosystems. Coral reefs have provided a model for such …

The recognition of coral species based on underwater texture images poses a significant
difficulty for machine learning algorithms, due to the three following challenges embedded in …

Corals are major contributors to a range of key ecosystem functions on tropical reefs,
including calcification, photosynthesis, nutrient cycling, and the provision of habitat structure …

Understanding the drivers of net coral reef calcium carbonate production is increasingly
important as ocean warming, acidification, and other anthropogenic stressors threaten the …
