Structural complexity provided by the living coral reef framework is the basis of the rich and
dynamic biodiversity in coral reefs. In many cases today, the reduction in habitat complexity …

Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

Coral microbiomes are critical to holobiont health and functioning, but the stability of host–
microbial interactions is fragile, easily shifting from eubiosis to dysbiosis. The heat-induced …

Mass bleaching events are growing in duration and intensity. Besides causing extensive
mortality, the progressively shorter time between events disrupts the ability of reefs to …

Coral reefs are declining worldwide as a result of the effects of multiple natural and
anthropogenic stressors, including regional-scale temperature-induced coral bleaching …

Ecosystem-based management on coral reefs has historically focused on biodiversity
conservation through the establishment of marine reserves, but it is increasingly recognised …

Previous studies have reported the correlations between bacterial communities and coral
bleaching, but the knowledge of fungal roles in coral bleaching is still limited. In this study …

Algae mostly occur either as unicellular (microalgae) or multicellular (macroalgae) species,
both being uninucleate. There are important exceptions, however, as some unicellular algae …

Alteration of benthic reef habitat after coral bleaching and mortality induces changes in fish
assemblages, with implications for fisheries. Our understanding of climate impacts to coral …

Habitat complexity describes a wide array of spatial distribution patterns of physical
structures in habitats. It affects aquatic ecosystems on multiple levels from individuals (eg …
