Proteinaceous corals as proxy archives of paleo-environmental change
High-resolution marine data are critical to evaluating anthropogenic impacts on our environment. Considering the spatial and temporal limitations of direct instrumental measurements, proxy data extracted from marine environmental archives are necessary to...

The reduction of harmful algae on Caribbean coral reefs through the reintroduction of a keystone herbivore, the long‐spined sea urchin Diadema antillarum
Herbivores play an essential role in the health and recovery of a coral reef ecosystem. The lack of recovery of the keystone herbivore Diadema antillarum has had long‐lasting effects, evidenced with many reefs persisting in algal dominance. This study res...

Natural variation in coral reef trophic structure across environmental gradients
Policies designed to address current challenges to the sustainability of fisheries generally use an ecosystem‐based approach – one that incorporates interactions between fishes, fishers, and the environment. Fishing alters the trophic structure among cora...
Demographic monitoring of Acropora species (Permit Number: FKNMS-2008-080)
"Acropora spp. populations in the Florida Keys and throughout the Caribbean have declined by greater than 90% since the 1980s. The remaining population faces a variety of natural and anthropogenic pressures that threaten population level recovery. This st...
