Beyond Coral Cover A framework for assessing the condition of coral reef habitats and informing conservation targets Open
The goal of ecosystem management is to maintain healthy and resilient ecosystems over time. These attributes can be summarised under a general term widely used in management plans: ecosystem condition, defined as the overall quality of an …

Seeded <i>Acropora digitifera</i> corals survive best on wave‐exposed reefs with grazing from small fishes Open
Coral seeding is a restoration technique developed to replenish degraded reefs; however, grazing by herbivorous fish can impede coral survival post deployment. To investigate the impacts of hydrodynamics and fish grazing on seeded‐coral su…

Coral reef habitat complexity decreases and diversifies local availability of light Open
The spatial distribution of environmental conditions can determine where organisms can and cannot live. When the distribution of microhabitats within a landscape is mediated by the shape of its surface, structural complexity can indirectly…

Physiological models of performance for scleractinian corals Open
A fundamental objective of ecology is to evaluate the conditions that permit
\ndifferent species to survive and reproduce, that is, to identify each species’ ‘niche’.
\nThe overarching aim of this thesis was to identify and quantify the pr…

Dissecting coral recovery: bleaching reduces reproductive output in Acropora millepora Open
Increasingly frequent and severe bleaching events driven by climate change are decreasing coral populations worldwide. Recovery of these populations relies on reproduction by the survivors of such events including local and upstream larval…

Research priorities for the sustainability of coral-rich western Pacific seascapes Open
Nearly a billion people depend on tropical seascapes. The need to ensure sustainable use of these vital areas is recognised, as one of 17 policy commitments made by world leaders, in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 14 (‘Life below Water…

Intraspecific variation reshapes coral assemblages under elevated temperature and acidity Open
Insights into assemblages that can persist in extreme environments are still emerging. Ocean warming and acidification select against species with low physiological tolerance (trait‐based ‘filtering’). However, intraspecific trait variatio…
View article: The indirect effects of ocean acidification on corals and coral communities
The indirect effects of ocean acidification on corals and coral communities Open
Ocean acidification (OA) is a major threat to marine calcifying organisms. This manuscript gives an overview of the physiological effects of acidification on reef-building corals from a cellular to population scale. In addition, we present…

Effects of climate change and light limitation on coral recruits Open
Climate change impacts and light attenuation from suspended sediments, due to runoff, natural resuspension or dredging, can both impede the replenishment of coral populations. Here we tested the independent and combined impacts of climate …

pH variability at volcanic CO<sub>2</sub> seeps regulates coral calcifying fluid chemistry Open
Coral reefs are iconic ecosystems with immense ecological, economic and cultural value, but globally their carbonate‐based skeletal construction is threatened by ocean acidification (OA). Identifying coral species that have specialised mec…

Coral adaptation to climate change: Meta‐analysis reveals high heritability across multiple traits Open
Anthropogenic climate change is a rapidly intensifying selection pressure on biodiversity across the globe and, particularly, on the world's coral reefs. The rate of adaptation to climate change is proportional to the amount of phenotypic …

An Indo-Pacific coral spawning database Open
The discovery of multi-species synchronous spawning of scleractinian corals on the Great Barrier Reef in the 1980s stimulated an extraordinary effort to document spawning times in other parts of the globe. Unfortunately, most of these data…

Climate change doubles sedimentation-induced coral recruit mortality Open
Coral reef replenishment is threatened by global climate change and local water-quality degradation, including smothering of coral recruits by sediments generated by anthropogenic activities. Here we show that the ability of Acropora mille…
