Climate change, coral loss, and the curious case of the parrotfish paradigm: why don't marine protected areas improve reef resilience?
Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas
and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of …

Coral bleaching––how and why?
AE Douglas - Marine pollution bulletin, 2003 - Elsevier
Bleaching refers to the loss of colour in symbioses between dinoflagellate algae of the

Do fluctuating temperature environments elevate coral thermal tolerance?
TA Oliver, SR Palumbi - Coral reefs, 2011 - Springer
In reef corals, much research has focused on the capacity of corals to acclimatize and/or
adapt to different thermal environments, but the majority of work has focused on distinctions …

Nutrient enrichment on coral reefs: is it a major cause of coral reef decline?
AM Szmant - Estuaries, 2002 - Springer
Coral reefs are degrading worldwide at an alarming rate. Nutrient over-enrichment is
considered a major cause of this decline because degraded coral reefs generally exhibit a …
