Bleaching and stress in coral reef ecosystems: hsp70 expression by the giant barrel sponge Xestospongia muta
"Sponges are a prominent component of coral reef ecosystems. Like reef-building corals, some sponges have been reported to bleach and die. The giant barrel sponge Xestospongia muta is one of the largest and most important components of Caribbean coral ree...
Patterns of coral disease across the Hawaiian Archipelago: Relating disease to environment
"In Hawaii, coral reefs occur across a gradient of biological (host abundance), climatic (sea surface temperature anomalies) and anthropogenic conditions from the human-impacted reefs of the main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) to the pristine reefs of the northwe...
Representativeness of marine protected areas of the United States
"This analysis of representativeness in 1,628 MPAs is based upon the presence/absence of major habitat types, key natural resources and ecologically important areas and processes. Nationally, MPAs are nominally representative of the major marine ecosystem...
Caribbean Acropora restoration guide. Best practices for propagation and population enhancement
"The purpose of this guide is to share the collective knowledge of a community of scientists and restoration practitioners who have been working both independently and collaboratively to restore populations of Acropora corals throughout the Caribbean. By ...
A towed-diver survey method for mesoscale fishery-independent assessment of large-bodied reef fishes
"Coral reef fishes are ecologically and economically important, particularly the largest species and individuals, which often include top predators, as they show disproportionate fecundity and generally make up the basis of nearshore fisheries. Large-bodi...
Sexual reproduction and seasonality of the Alaskan red tree coral, Primnoa pacifica
"The red tree coral Primnoa pacifica is an important habitat forming octocoral in North Pacific waters. Given the prominence of this species in shelf and upper slope areas of the Gulf of Alaska where fishing disturbance can be high, it may be able to sust...
Length-based assessment of coral reef fish populations in the main and Northwestern Hawaiian Islands
"The coral reef fish community of Hawaii is composed of hundreds of species, supports a multimillion dollar fishing and tourism industry, and is of great cultural importance to the local population. However, a major stock assessment of Hawaiian coral reef...
