Mangroves, seagrasses, and coral reefs interact in tropical regions throughout the world.
These ecosystems exhibit strong synergies, as the health of each ecosystem supports the …

Circadian clocks are phylogenetically widespread biological oscillators that allow organisms
to entrain to environmental cycles and use their steady-state phase relationship to anticipate …

The ocean is critically important to our global economy. Collectively, it is estimated that
ocean-based industries and activities contribute hundreds of millions of jobs and …

Coral reefs are threatened by global and local stressors. Yet, reefs appear to respond

Global climate change is a major threat to reefs by increasing the frequency and severity of
coral bleaching events over time, reducing coral cover and diversity. Ocean warming may …

Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

Regional acclimatisation and microbial interactions significantly influence the resilience of
reef-building corals facing anthropogenic climate change, allowing them to adapt to …

After centuries of human-mediated disturbances, Caribbean reef communities are vastly
different from those described in the 1950s. Many are functionally dominated by …

Scleractinian coral populations are in global decline, and successful recruitment is
fundamental to community persistence and recovery, but recruitment may vary by coral …

Strong population-by-habitat interactions across environmental gradients arise from genetic
adaptation or acclimatization and represents phenotypic variation required for populations to …
