ResourceNew insights into global patterns of ocean temperature anomalies: Implications for coral reef health and management
"Coral reefs are widely considered to be particularly vulnerable to changes in ocean temperatures, yet we understand little about the broad-scale spatio-temporal patterns that may cause coral mortality from bleaching and disease. Our study aimed to charac...

ResourceAn extension of the stepwise stochastic simulation approach for estimating distributions of missing values of life history parameters for sharks, groupers, and other taxa
The limited resources and high species diversity associated with coastal fisheries present challenges to their effective management. Datalimited approaches to assessment of stocks are often used in these situations, but most assessments require basic life...
