Mitigating local human impacts promotes coral reef persistence under climate change Open
Coastal ecosystems are disproportionally inhabited by global human population. Consequently, human impacts originating from land and sea combine with climate-driven disturbances to fundamentally restructure nearshore marine ecosystems. The…

Safeguarding Free-Flowing Rivers: The Global Extent of Free-Flowing Rivers in Protected Areas Open
Approximately one-third of long rivers remain free-flowing, and rivers face a range of ongoing and future threats. In response, there is a heightened call for actions to reverse the freshwater biodiversity crisis, including through formal …

Managing marine disease emergencies in an era of rapid change Open
Infectious marine diseases can decimate populations and are increasing among some taxa due to global change and our increasing reliance on marine environments. Marine diseases become emergencies when significant ecological, economic or soc…

Prey-size plastics are invading larval fish nurseries Open
Life for many of the world’s marine fish begins at the ocean surface. Ocean conditions dictate food availability and govern survivorship, yet little is known about the habitat preferences of larval fish during this highly vulnerable life-h…

Mangrove cover change between 1996 and 2016 near river-ocean outlets: A global analysis to identify priority rivers for conservation Open
Mangroves are commonly found near river-ocean outlets because rivers transport sediments and nutrients that support mangrove formation and habitat sustenance. Yet mangrove and river conservation efforts are often disjointed, minimizing the…

Data from: Fire coral clones demonstrate phenotypic plasticity among reef habitats Open
Clonal populations are often characterized by reduced levels of genotypic diversity, which can translate into lower numbers of functional phenotypes, both of which impede adaptation. Study of partially clonal animals enables examination of…

Population expansions dominate demographic histories of endemic and widespread Pacific reef fishes Open
Despite the unique nature of endemic species, their origin and population history remain poorly studied. We investigated the population history of 28 coral reef fish species, close related, from the Gambier and Marquesas Islands, from five…

Local-scale projections of coral reef futures and implications of the Paris Agreement Open
Increasingly frequent severe coral bleaching is among the greatest threats to coral reefs posed by climate change. Global climate models (GCMs) project great spatial variation in the timing of annual severe bleaching (ASB) conditions; a po…

First genealogy for a wild marine fish population reveals multigenerational philopatry Open
Significance Evidence for natal philopatry, the return of individuals to their natal location for reproduction, is scarce in marine fish populations despite being common in anadromous fishes. The proportion of individuals returning to nata…

Ochre star mortality during the 2014 wasting disease epizootic: role of population size structure and temperature Open
Over 20 species of asteroids were devastated by a sea star wasting disease (SSWD) epizootic, linked to a densovirus, from Mexico to Alaska in 2013 and 2014. For Pisaster ochraceus from the San Juan Islands, South Puget Sound and Washington…

Improving marine disease surveillance through sea temperature monitoring, outlooks and projections Open
To forecast marine disease outbreaks as oceans warm requires new environmental surveillance tools. We describe an iterative process for developing these tools that combines research, development and deployment for suitable systems. The fir…

Validation of Reef-Scale Thermal Stress Satellite Products for Coral Bleaching Monitoring Open
Satellite monitoring of thermal stress on coral reefs has become an essential component of reef management practice around the world. A recent development by the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Coral Reef Watch (NOAA…
