The dual character of corals, that they are both auto‐and heterotrophs, was recognized early
in the twentieth Century. It is generally accepted that the symbiotic association between …

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 …

There is a need to develop water quality thresholds for dredging near coral reefs that can
relate physical pressures to biological responses and define exposure conditions above …

Although the oceans play a fundamental role in sha** the distribution and function of coral
reefs worldwide, a modern understanding of the complex interactions between ocean and …

Most studies on coral reefs have focused on shallow reef (< 30 m) systems due to the
technical limitations of conducting scientific diving deeper than 30 m. Compared to their …

Laboratory experiments were designed to estimate the ingestion rates of the scleractinian
coral Stylophora pistillata under varying prey concentrations and feeding regimes and to …

Coral reef ecosystems are at the crossroads. While significant gaps still exist in our
understanding of how “normal” reefs work, unprecedented changes in coral reef systems …

The interdisciplinary fields of conservation physiology, macrophysiology, and mechanistic
ecological forecasting have recently emerged as means of integrating detailed physiological …

The interaction of coral reefs, both chemically and physically, with the surrounding seawater
is governed, at the smallest scales, by turbulence. Here, we review recent progress in …

Bleached and non-bleached fragments of three species of Hawaiian corals were exposed to
enhanced and ambient concentrations of zooplankton at 1 and 6 m depth to determine the …
