Although seagrasses and marine macroalgae (macro‐autotrophs) play critical ecological
roles in reef, lagoon, coastal and open‐water ecosystems, their response to ocean …

Coral reefs are both exceptionally biodiverse and threatened by climate change and other
human activities. Here, we review population genomic processes in coral reef taxa and their …

For over three decades, scientists have conducted heat-stress experiments to predict how
coral will respond to ocean warming due to global climate change. However, there are often …

Ocean acidification (OA) refers to the ongoing decline in oceanic pH resulting from the
uptake of atmospheric CO2. Mounting experimental evidence suggests that OA will have …

The resilience of coral reefs is dependent on the ability of corals to settle after disturbances.
While crustose coralline algae (CCA) are considered important substrates for coral …

Reef-building corals have essential roles in reef ecosystems but are highly susceptible to
disturbances. Increasing anthropogenic disturbances are eroding coral community …

Mortality of corals is increasing due to bleaching, disease and algal overgrowth. In the
Caribbean, low rates of coral recruitment contribute to the slow or undetectable rates of …

Competition among sessile organisms is a major process on coral reefs, and is becoming
more important as anthropogenic disturbances cause shifts in dominance to non-reef …

Microbial biofilms induce larval settlement for some invertebrates, including corals; however,
the chemical cues involved have rarely been identified. Here, we demonstrate the role of …

Marine natural products (MNPs) exhibit a wide range of pharmaceutically relevant
bioactivities, including antibiotic, antiviral, anticancer, or anti-inflammatory properties …
