Late Quaternary extinctions: state of the debate
PL Koch, AD Barnosky - Annu. Rev. Ecol. Evol. Syst., 2006 - annualreviews.org
Between fifty and ten thousand years ago, most large mammals became extinct everywhere
except Africa. Slow-breeding animals also were hard hit, regardless of size. This unusual …

Evolution of animal regeneration: re-emergence of a field
Regeneration, the replacement of lost body parts, is widespread yet highly variable among
animals. Explaining this variation remains a major challenge in biology. Great strides have …

Spatial, temporal and taxonomic variation in coral growth—implications for the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems
Scleractinian (hard) corals are fundamental to the geomorphology, biodiversity, and
structure of coral reef ecosystems (Goreau 1963, Hoegh-Guldberg 2004, Pratchett et al …

Coral rubble dynamics in the Anthropocene and implications for reef recovery
With rubble predicted to increase on coral reefs worldwide, we review the physical,
biological, and ecological dynamics of rubble beds, with a focus on how rubble generation …

Impact of coral predators on tropical reefs
It is well known that herbivores have numerous and diverse impacts on plant and algal
fitness, community structure and ecosystem function. The importance of corallivory as a …

Potential costs of acclimatization to a warmer climate: growth of a reef coral with heat tolerant vs. sensitive symbiont types
A Jones, R Berkelmans - PloS one, 2010 - journals.plos.org
One of the principle ways in which reef building corals are likely to cope with a warmer
climate is by changing to more thermally tolerant endosymbiotic algae (zooxanthellae) …

Innate immunity, environmental drivers, and disease ecology of marine and freshwater invertebrates
Despite progress in the past decade, researchers struggle to evaluate the hypothesis that
environmental conditions compromise immunity and facilitate new disease outbreaks. In this …

Climate change impacts on coral reefs: synergies with local effects, possibilities for acclimation, and management implications
Most reviews concerning the impact of climate change on coral reefs discuss independent
effects of warming or ocean acidification. However, the interactions between these, and …
