The impacts of human and natural disturbances on coral reefs are typically quantified
through visible damage (eg, reduced coral coverage as a result of bleaching events), but …

Climate change threatens coral reefs across the world. Intense bleaching has caused
dramatic coral mortality in many tropical regions in recent decades, but less obvious chronic …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (ie, deep coral reefs at 30–120 m depth) appear to be thriving
while many shallow reefs in the world are declining. Amid efforts to understand and manage …

Stylophora pistillata is a hermatypic branching coral, commonly found in the Indo-Pacific
reefs. Being an important “reef builder” and an ecological engineering species, Stylophora …

Historically, marine populations were considered to be interconnected across large
geographic regions due to the lack of apparent physical barriers to dispersal, coupled with a …

Corals utilize sex-derived diversity to adapt to environmental changes and to occupy new
ecological niches. With major declines in coral reefs worldwide and calls for ecosystem …

As natural coral populations decline, thousands of outplanted corals are poised to dominate
reefs in the hardest-hit areas, such as the Florida Keys. Genetic management plans are …

Coral reef ecosystems provide many ecological, economic, and social benefits. Despite their
numerous functions, coral reefs are in a vulnerable state due to the effects of human …

Experimental and field evidence support the assumption that global warming and ocean
acidification is decreasing rates of calcification in the oceans. Local measurements of coral …

Global climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of extreme heat anomalies
and consequent mass coral bleaching events. Long‐term dynamics of hard coral cover …
