Genome skimming illuminates hidden species diversity and Symbiodiniaceae associations in east Pacific <i>Pocillopora</i> corals Open
Biodiversity conservation relies upon accurate species taxonomy to support decision-making. Stony corals in the genus Pocillopora are critical ecosystem engineers in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP), however, Pocillopora species diversit…

Succession of the sessile benthic community at a coral reef restoration site. Open
Introduction: Ecosystem restoration facilitates ecological succession. When a coral reef experiences a disturbance, the community of sessile benthic organisms can follow a successional trajectory that favors the dominance of coral or a cha…

Change in the composition of fauna associated with Pocillopora spp. (Scleractinia, Pocilloporidae) following transplantation Open
Introduction: Associated fauna comprises most of the diversity of a coral reef and performs ecological functions essential to the reef’s survival. Since Pocillopora corals harbor an important associated fauna, reef restoration efforts are …

A global atlas of potential thermal refugia for coral reefs generated by internal gravity waves Open
Coral reefs are highly threatened by ocean warming and the majority are likely to be lost in less than three decades. A first step in maximizing reef conservation through this period is to identify where coral reefs are more likely to surv…

Rebuilding Coral Reefs: A Decadal Grand Challenge Open
This document is the work of a team assembled by the International Coral Reef Society (ICRS). The mission of ICRS is to promote the acquisition and dissemination of scientific knowledge to secure the future of coral reefs, including via re…

Climate change and tropical marine ecosystems: A review with an emphasis on coral reefs Open
Climate change is usually associated with warming and weather extremes that impact the human environment and terrestrial systems, but it also has profound effects on the ocean, which is probably the most unique, life-supporting feature of …

Clarifying the role of coastal and marine systems in climate mitigation Open
The international scientific community is increasingly recognizing the role of natural systems in climate‐change mitigation. While forests have historically been the primary focus of such efforts, coastal wetlands – particularly seagrasses…
