Relative efficacy of three approaches to mitigate Crown-of-Thorns Starfish outbreaks on Australia's Great Barrier Reef
Population outbreaks of Crown-of-Thorns Starfish (COTS; Acanthaster spp.) are a major
contributor to loss of hard coral throughout the Indo-Pacific. On Australia's Great Barrier Reef …

Species identity and depth predict bleaching severity in reef-building corals: shall the deep inherit the reef?
Mass bleaching associated with unusually high sea temperatures represents one of the
greatest threats to corals and coral reef ecosystems. Deeper reef areas are hypothesized as …

Impacts and recovery from severe tropical cyclone Yasi on the Great Barrier Reef
Full recovery of coral reefs from tropical cyclone (TC) damage can take decades, making
cyclones a major driver of habitat condition where they occur regularly. Since 1985, 44 TCs …
