Given predicted increases in urbanization in tropical and subtropical regions, understanding
the processes sha** urban coral reefs may be essential for anticipating future …

Increasing evidence suggests that coral reefs exposed to elevated turbidity may be more
resilient to climate change impacts and serve as an important conservation hotspot …

Ocean warming increases the incidence of coral bleaching, which reduces or eliminates the
nutrition corals receive from their algal symbionts, often resulting in widespread mortality. In …

Although the impacts of nutrient pollution on coral reefs are well known, surprisingly, no
statistical relationships have ever been established between water quality parameters, coral …

The rapid formation of calcium carbonate coral skeletons (calcification) fuelled by the coral-
algal symbiosis is the backbone of tropical coral reef ecosystems. However, the efficacy of …

Observations of coral reef losses to climate change far exceed our understanding of
historical degradation before anthropogenic warming. This is a critical gap to fill as …

Turbid coral reefs experience high suspended sediment loads and low-light conditions that
vertically compress the maximum depth of reef growth. Although vertical reef compression is …

Coral communities can survive in stressful environments; however, the mechanisms corals
employ to endure challenging conditions are poorly understood. This study assessed how …

The expanse of deep water between the c entral P acific islands and the continental shelf of
the E astern T ropical P acific is regarded as the world's most potent marine biogeographic …

The tropical ocean environment is changing at an unprecedented rate, with warming and
severe tropical cyclones creating obvious impacts to coral reefs within the last few decades …
