Coral reefs play a crucial role in supporting over half a billion human livelihoods through their contributions to fisheries, tourism, and coastal protection. In light of substantial global …
The escalating rate at which coral communities are declining globally requires urgent intervention and new approaches to reef management to reduce and halt further coral loss …
As natural coral populations decline, thousands of outplanted corals are poised to dominate reefs in the hardest-hit areas, such as the Florida Keys. Genetic management plans are …
Efforts to restore coral reefs usually involve transplanting asexually propagated fast-growing corals. However, this approach can lead to outplanted populations with low genotypic …
Climate change-induced ocean warming has reshaped reef ecosystems as coral bleaching events continue to lead to mass coral die-offs globally. These thermal anomalies also …
Most studies have quantified coral recruitment using recruitment tiles temporarily deployed on reefs. However, the wide range of tile types used in different studies potentially influences …
