A decade after environmental scientists integrated high‐throughput sequencing
technologies in their toolbox, the genomics‐based monitoring of anthropogenic impacts on …

In the marine realm, biomonitoring using environmental DNA (eDNA) of benthic
communities requires destructive direct sampling or the setting‐up of settlement structures …

A pattern of increasing species richness from the poles to the equator is frequently observed
in many animal taxa. Ecological limits, determined by the abiotic conditions and biotic …

The Red Sea is a suitable model for studying coral reefs under climate change due to its
strong environmental gradient that provides a window into future global warming scenarios …

DNA metabarcoding is an increasingly popular technique to investigate biodiversity;
however, many methodological unknowns remain, especially concerning the biases …

Coral reefs are among the richest marine ecosystems on Earth, but there remains much
diversity hidden within cavities of complex reef structures awaiting discovery. While the …

Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structure (ARMS) are standardized devices for sampling
biodiversity in complex marine benthic habitats such as coral reefs. When coupled with DNA …

Abstract Autonomous Reef Monitoring Structures (ARMS) have been applied worldwide to
characterize the critical yet frequently overlooked biodiversity patterns of marine benthic …

Although the importance of coral holobionts is widely accepted, the relationship between the
flexibility of the microbial structure and the coral host is very complicated. Particularly, the …

Mangrove forests are important biotic sinks of atmospheric CO2 and play an integral role in
nutrient-cycling and decontamination of coastal waters, thereby mitigating climatic and …
