Coral reef ecosystems are being fundamentally restructured by local human impacts and
climate-driven marine heatwaves that trigger mass coral bleaching and mortality. Reducing …

Early studies in coral reefs showed that simple measurements of ecosystem metabolism
(primary production and ecosystem respiration) were useful for understanding complex reef …

Coral reef decline has accelerated in the last two decades resulting in substantial research
into the phenomenon of 'phase shifts' or 'regime shifts'. However, the conclusions drawn …

Coral reefs worldwide face unprecedented cumulative anthropogenic effects of interacting

Tropical coral reefs currently face an unprecedented restructuring since their extant form and
function emerged~ 24 million years ago in the early Neogene. They have entered the …

Ecological theory predicts that ecosystems with multiple basins of attraction can get locked
in an undesired state, which has profound ecological and management implications …

The Hawaiian Archipelago experienced a moderate bleaching event in 2019—the third
major bleaching event over a 6-year period to impact the islands. In response, the Hawai 'i …

Herbivore management is an important tool for resilience-based approaches to coral reef
