Dredging, river plumes and natural resuspension events can release sediments into the
water column where they exert a range of effects on underlying communities. In this review …

Reef-building corals, recognized as cornerstone species in marine ecosystems, captivate
with their unique duality as both symbiotic partners and autotrophic entities. Beyond their …

Abstract Benzophenone-3 (BP-3; oxybenzone) is an ingredient in sunscreen lotions and
personal-care products that protects against the damaging effects of ultraviolet light …

Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …

Survival of pelagic marine larvae is an important determinant of dispersal potential. Despite
this, few estimates of larval survival are available. For scleractinian corals, few studies of …

Ocean acidification may negatively impact the early life stages of some marine invertebrates
including corals. Although reduced growth of juvenile corals in acidified seawater has been …

Abstract Benzophenone-2 (BP-2) is an additive to personal-care products and commercial
solutions that protects against the damaging effects of ultraviolet light. BP-2 is an “emerging …

Rising sea surface temperatures are increasingly causing breakdown in the nutritional
relationship between corals and algal endosymbionts (Symbiodiniaceae), threatening the …

Mutually beneficial interactions between species (mutualisms) shaped the evolution of
eukaryotes and remain critical to the survival of species globally [1, 2]. Theory predicts that …

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