Coral reefs are in global decline, with coral diseases increasing both in prevalence and in
space, a situation that is expected only to worsen as future thermal stressors increase …

In corals where complex life history processes decoupling age from size (eg, fragmentation,
fusion, partial colony mortality) are rare or clearly detectable, individual age may be …

Individuals vary in their phenotype and propensity for growth and survival, but the
demographic consequences of this remain poorly understood. We extend previous …

Coral reefs are patchy and connected ecosystems that experience heterogenous
environmental conditions, disturbances, and coral population recovery patterns …

In April 2006 and May 2007 abundance data of small coral colonies were collected in the
central atolls of the Maldives (N3° 35.9–4° 26.6 E72° 47.3–73° 57.5) in order to evaluate …

Reef‐building corals, like many long‐lived organisms, experience environmental change as
a combination of separate but concurrent processes, some of which are gradual yet long …

The corals Acropora austera and Platygyra daedalea have been the subject of extensive
reproductive and population genetic studies in the iSimangaliso Wetland Park …

We present a size-structured population model to describe marine invertebrates whose life
stage is composed of sessile adults and pelagic larvae. The model is a nonlinear coupled …

Ecologists have long sought to understand how the dynamics of natural populations are
affected by the environmental variation those populations experience. A transfer function is a …

The model we study deals with a population of marine invertebrates structured by size
whose life stage is composed of adults and pelagic larvae such as barnacles contained in a …
