Diseases of tropical reef organisms is an intensive area of study, but despite significant
advances in methodology and the global knowledge base, identifying the proximate causes …

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are strong natural hazards that are important for local and global air–
sea interactions. This manuscript briefly reviews the knowledge about the upper ocean …

Global warming is rapidly emerging as a universal threat to ecological integrity and function,
highlighting the urgent need for a better understanding of the impact of heat exposure on the …

Ocean warming under climate change threatens coral reefs directly, through fatal heat stress
to corals and indirectly, by boosting the energy of cyclones that cause coral destruction and …

Global warming is killing corals; however, the effects of warming on population connectivity,
a process fundamental to reef recovery, are largely unexplored. Using a high-resolution (as …

Australia's iconic Great Barrier Reef (GBR) continues to suffer from repeated impacts of
cyclones, coral bleaching, and outbreaks of the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS) …

On the iconic Great Barrier Reef (GBR), the cumulative impacts of tropical cyclones, marine
heatwaves and regular outbreaks of coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS) have …

Coral reefs are extremely vulnerable to human-induced climate change. Most notably,
increasing ocean temperatures are causing increasing incidence and severity of mass coral …

Climate change threatens coral reefs across the world. Intense bleaching has caused
dramatic coral mortality in many tropical regions in recent decades, but less obvious chronic …

Ecosystems have always been shaped by disturbances, but many of these events are
becoming larger, more severe and more frequent. The recovery capacity of depleted …
