Quantifying coral reef carbonate budgets: a comparison between ReefBudget and CoralNet Open
Calcium carbonate production constitutes one of the core processes that drive coral reef ecosystem functioning and can be assessed using in-water or image-based survey methods, which have not previously been compared. This study compares c…

The Emergence and Initial Impact of Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease (SCTLD) in the United States Virgin Islands Open
Coral communities in the Caribbean face a new and deadly threat in the form of the highly virulent multi-host stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD). In late January of 2019, a disease with signs and characteristics matching that of SCTLD…

Widespread Elevational Occurrence of Antifungal Bacteria in Andean Amphibians Decimated by Disease: A Complex Role for Skin Symbionts in Defense Against Chytridiomycosis Open
Emerging infectious disease is a growing threat to global health, and recent discoveries reveal that the microbiota dwelling on and within hosts can play an important role in health and disease. To understand the capacity of skin bacteria …

Temperature Regimes Impact Coral Assemblages along Environmental Gradients on Lagoonal Reefs in Belize Open
Coral reefs are increasingly threatened by global and local anthropogenic stressors such as rising seawater temperature, nutrient enrichment, sedimentation, and overfishing. Although many studies have investigated the impacts of local and …

Heterotrophy mitigates the response of the temperate coral <i>Oculina arbuscula</i> to temperature stress Open
Anthropogenic increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration have caused global average sea surface temperature ( SST ) to increase by approximately 0.11°C per decade between 1971 and 2010 – a trend that is projected to continue thr…
