Long-term demographic studies at biogeographic transition zones can elucidate how body
size mediates disturbance responses. Focusing on subtropical reefs in eastern Australia, we …

Constraints on organisms possessing a unitary body plan appear almost absent from
colonial organisms. Like unitary organisms, however, coral colonies seemingly delay …

Coral populations on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) are experiencing long-term shifts in size
structure, including steep declines in small colonies, driving major concerns for recovery …

Individual coral polyps contain three distinct components—the surface mucus layer, tissue,
and skeleton; each component may exhibit varying extent of microplastic (MP) accumulation …

Life‐history traits are promising tools to predict species commonness and rarity because
they influence a population's fitness in a given environment. Yet, species with similar traits …

Recruitment is a critical component in the dynamics of coral assemblages, and a key
question is to determine the degree to which spatial heterogeneity of adults is influenced by …

Predicting the viability of species exposed to increasing climatic stress requires an
appreciation for the mechanisms underpinning the success or failure of marginal …

Atlantic reef-building corals and coral reefs continue to experience extensive decline due to
increased stressors related to climate change, disease, pollution, and numerous …

Demographic processes that ensure the recovery and resilience of marine populations are
critical as climate change sends an increasing proportion on a trajectory of decline. Yet for …

Scleractinian corals, the principal architects of coral reefs, face substantial threats from
ongoing and anticipated climate change and other anthropogenic disturbances. This …
