Connectivity through ontogeny: fish population linkages among mangrove and coral reef habitats
"Most evidence for ontogenetic migration of fishes from mangroves to coral reefs has been based on cross-sectional studies of <2 yr duration that have not considered annual variability in recruitment. Taking a longitudinal approach of following cohorts...
NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) Daily Global 5-km (0.05 degree) Satellite Coral Bleaching Heat Stress Monitoring Product Suite
The NOAA Coral Reef Watch (CRW) daily global 5-km (0.05 degree) satellite coral bleaching heat stress monitoring product suite is a next-generation version of CRW's twice-weekly 50-km (0.5 degree) satellite monitoring product suite, currently Version 3.1,...
Morphological, elemental, and boron isotopic insights into pathophysiology of diseased coral growth anomalies
Coral growth anomalies (GAs) are tumor-like lesions that are detrimental to colony fitness and are commonly associated with high human population density, yet little is known about the disease pathology or calcification behavior. SEM imagery, skeletal tra...
Development and characterization of 148 SNP markers in the caribbean symmetrical brain coral Pseudodiploria strigosa
As coral reefs decline, restoring lost coral populations has been hampered due to the paucity of genetic information available for many coral species. In the Caribbean, the symmetrical brain coral Pseudodiploria strigosa, a prominent framework builder of ...
The 13C Suess effect in scleractinian corals mirror changes in the anthropogenic CO2 inventory of the surface oceans
"New (delta)13C data are presented from 10 coral skeletons collected from Florida and elsewhere in the Caribbean (Dominica, Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and Belize). These corals range from 96 to 200 years in age and were collected between 1976 and 20...
Assessing the fisheries benefits of four community-based no-take marine protected areas in Fiji
"Locally managed marine areas (LMMA) are increasingly being implemented in many Pacific Island communities to address concerns regarding management of coastal fisheries. Widespread advocacy for these management regimes lies in their ability to build on ex...
Modeled Habitat Suitability for Mesophotic Hard Corals in Au'au Channel, Hawai'i from 2004-09-09 to 2010-07-17 (NCEI Accession 0129788)
Mesophotic hard corals (MHC) are increasingly threatened by a growing number of anthropogenic stressors, including impacts from fishing, land-based sources of pollution, and ocean acidification. However, little is known about their geographic distribution...
Watershed restoration as a tool for improving coral reef resilience against climate change and other human impacts
Environmental stressors in coastal areas threaten the sustainability of marine resources and reduce their resilience to climate change impacts. Accelerated land erosion is a major stressor that leads to increased turbidity and sedimentation on downstream ...
