[HTML][HTML] Corals at the edge of environmental limits: A new conceptual framework to re-define marginal and extreme coral communities
The worldwide decline of coral reefs has renewed interest in coral communities at the edge
of environmental limits because they have the potential to serve as resilience hotspots and …

Nearshore turbid-zone corals exhibit high bleaching tolerance on the Great Barrier Reef following the 2016 ocean warming event
High sea surface temperatures (SSTs) on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) during summer
2015/2016 caused extensive coral bleaching, with aerial and in-water surveys confirming …

Evidence of extensive reef development and high coral cover in nearshore environments: implications for understanding coral adaptation in turbid settings
Mean coral cover has reportedly declined by over 15% during the last 30 years across the
central Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Here, we present new data that documents widespread …

Rapid decline of a relatively high latitude coral assemblage at Weizhou Island, northern South China Sea
W Yu, W Wang, K Yu, Y Wang, X Huang… - Biodiversity and …, 2019 - Springer
Abstract “Refuge theory” suggests that global warming would be beneficial to corals in high
latitude waters. In theory, then, the Weizhou Island reef (21° 00′–21° 10′ N, 109° 00 …

Oxidative stress on scleractinian coral fragments following exposure to high temperature and low salinity
Global warming is leading to both increases in frequency and intensity of tropical storms,
with consequent salinity decrease at shallow reef areas, but also to mass bleaching events …

Differential response to abiotic stress controls species distributions at biogeographic transition zones
Understanding range limits is critical to predicting species responses to climate change.
Subtropical environments, where many species overlap at their range margins, are cooler …

Effective protection of fish on inshore coral reefs depends on the scale of mangrove-reef connectivity
Connectivity is an important consideration in conservation, but is rarely quantified when
assessing marine reserve performance. Mangrove-reef connectivity is known to enhance …

Local and regional controls of phylogenetic structure at the high-latitude range limits of corals
Understanding how range-edge populations will respond to climate change is an urgent
research priority. Here, we used a phylogenetic community ecology approach to examine …

Habitat proximity exerts opposing effects on key ecological functions
Context Connectivity is an important property of landscapes that shapes populations and
ecosystem functioning. We do not know, however, whether and how different types of spatial …
