Tropicalisation of temperate reefs: Implications for ecosystem functions and management actions
Temperate reefs from around the world are becoming tropicalised, as warm‐water species
shift their distribution towards the poles in response to warming. This is already causing …

[HTML][HTML] Future loss of local-scale thermal refugia in coral reef ecosystems
Thermal refugia underpin climate-smart management of coral reefs, but whether current
thermal refugia will remain so under future warming is uncertain. We use statistical …

Climate change increases the risk of fisheries conflict
The effects of climate change on the ocean environment–especially ocean warming,
acidification, and sea level rise–will impact fish stocks and fishers in important ways. Likely …

Ocean currents and herbivory drive macroalgae-to-coral community shift under climate warming
Coral and macroalgal communities are threatened by global stressors. However, recently
reported community shifts from temperate macroalgae to tropical corals offer conservation …

A research review of interventions to increase the persistence and resilience of coral reefs
National Academies of Sciences, Life Studies… - 2019 - books.google.com
Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

[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 …

Coral reef benthic community changes in the Anthropocene: Biogeographic heterogeneity, overlooked configurations, and methodology
Non‐random community changes are becoming more frequent in many ecosystems. In coral
reefs, changes towards communities dominated by other than hard corals are increasing in …

Importance of species translocations under rapid climate change
Species that cannot adapt or keep pace with a changing climate are likely to need human
intervention to shift to more suitable climates. While hundreds of articles mention using …
