Shifting paradigms in restoration of the world's coral reefs
Many ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global
pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs …

Thirty years of research on crown-of-thorns starfish (1986–2016): scientific advances and emerging opportunities
Research on the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS) has waxed and waned over
the last few decades, mostly in response to population outbreaks at specific locations. This …
