The extent of larval dispersal on coral reefs has important implications for the persistence of
coral reef metapopulations, their resilience and recovery from an increasing array of threats …

Coral bleaching caused by global warming is one of the major threats to coral reefs. Very
recently, research has focused on the possibility of corals switching symbionts as a means of …

Sexual reproduction by scleractinian reef corals is important for maintaining coral
populations and evolutionary processes. The ongoing global renaissance in coral …

Coral mortality has increased in recent decades, making coral recruitment more important
than ever in sustaining coral reef ecosystems and contributing to their resilience. This review …

Dredging, river plumes and natural resuspension events can release sediments into the
water column where they exert a range of effects on underlying communities. In this review …

Survival of pelagic marine larvae is an important determinant of dispersal potential. Despite
this, few estimates of larval survival are available. For scleractinian corals, few studies of …

Marine broadcast spawners have two-phase life cycles, with pelagic larvae and benthic
adults. Larval supply and settlement link these two phases and are crucial for the …

Aquaculture of coral offers an alternative to wild harvest for the ornamental trade and shows
considerable promise for restoring reefs and preserving biodiversity. Here, we compare …

Dispersal influences ecological dynamics, evolution, biogeography, and biodiversity
conservation, but models of larval dispersal in marine organisms make simplifying …

This study sought to identify climate‐change thermal‐stress refugia for reef corals in the
Indian and Pacific Oceans. A species distribution modeling approach was used to identify …
