Abstract Aim The Red Sea is characterised by a unique fauna and historical periods of
desiccation, hypersalinity and intermittent isolation. The origin and contemporary …

Coral reefs are one of the most biodiverse and economically important ecosystems in the
world, but they are rapidly degrading due to the effects of global climate change and local …

Global reductions in biodiversity and the accelerating loss and degradation of many of the
world's ecosystems have intensified research into the roles of species in ecosystem …

Aim The geological and palaeo‐climatic forces that produced the unique biodiversity in the
Red Sea are a subject of vigorous debate. Here, we review evidence for and against the …

Global climate change has profound implications on species distributions and ecosystem
functioning. In the coastal zone, ecological responses may be driven by various …

Coral reefs of the Persian/Arabian Gulf were the last to succumb to the effects of the global-
scale mass coral bleaching event that began in 2015. This study examines the causes and …

In the tropics, thermal stratification (during warm conditions) may contribute to a shallowing
of the mixed layer above the nutricline and a reduction in the transfer of nutrients to the …

Abstract The Red Sea is a unique body of water, hosting some of the most productive and
diverse coral reefs. Human populations along coasts of the Red Sea were initially sparse …

As the Earth's temperature continues to rise, coral bleaching events become more frequent.
Some of the most affected reef ecosystems are located in poorly monitored waters, and thus …

Reef‐building corals in the genus Porites are one of the most important constituents of Indo‐
Pacific reefs. Many species within this genus tolerate abnormally warm water and exhibit …
