Nitrogen pollution is a widespread and growing problem in the coastal waters of South Asia
yet the ecological impacts on the region's coral ecosystems are currently poorly known and …

We review and develop conceptual models for the bio-transfer of ciguatoxins in food chains
for Platypus Bay and the Great Barrier Reef on the east coast of Australia. Platypus Bay is …

In the early stages after larval settlement, coral spat can be rapidly overgrown and
outcompeted by algae, reducing overall survival for coral reef replenishment and supply for …

Human-induced nutrient pollution threatens coral reefs worldwide. Although eutrophication
disrupts coral microbiomes, often leading to coral mortality, it is unknown whether …

An essential component of the coral reef animal diversity is the species hidden in crevices
within the reef matrix, referred to as the cryptobiome. These organisms play an important …

Global and local anthropogenic stressors such as climate change, acidification, overfishing,
and pollution are expected to shift the benthic community composition of coral reefs from …

This study is the first to document an algal bloom caused by Noctiluca scintillans, which was
detected using remote sensing techniques and confirmed in the field along the coast of Elba …

The combination of molecular tools, standard surveying techniques, and long-term
monitoring programs are relevant to understanding environmental and ecological changes …

Both global and local factors affect coral reefs worldwide, sometimes simultaneously. An
interplay of these factors can lead to phase shifts from hard coral dominance to algae or …

Coral reefs experience phase shifts from coral-to algae-dominated benthic communities,
which could affect the interplay between processes introducing and removing bioavailable …
