Coral–algal interactions are pivotal in reef ecosystems globally as they can scale up
ecosystem levels and lead to dominance shifts. In this study, we conducted a systematic …

Natural regeneration of degraded reefs relies on the recruitment of larvae to restore
populations. Intervention strategies are being developed to enhance this process through …

The restoration of reefs damaged by global and local pressures remains constrained by the
scale of intervention currently feasible. Traditional methods for ex situ sexual propagation of …

Abstract Knowledge of coral larval precompetency periods and maximum competency
windows is fundamental to understanding coral population dynamics, informing …

Background Recovery of degraded coral reefs is reliant upon the recruitment of coral larvae,
yet the mechanisms behind coral larval settlement are not well understood, especially for …

Application of oil toxicity modelling for assessing the risk of spills to coral reefs remains
uncertain due to a lack of data for key tropical species and environmental conditions. In this …

Historically, marine populations were considered to be interconnected across large
geographic regions due to the lack of apparent physical barriers to dispersal, coupled with a …

Successful recruitment of invertebrate larvae to reef substrates is essential to the health of
tropical coral reef ecosystems and to their capacity to recover from disturbances. Crustose …

Niche differentiation is a key stabilizing mechanism in the maintenance of biodiversity and
species coexistence. Recent work shows that trophic niche partitioning between parrotfishes …

Given the rapid, global decline in the health and abundance of coral reefs, increased
investments in restoration-based interventions-including asexual and sexual propagation …
