Human activities are fundamentally altering biodiversity. Projections of declines at the global
scale are contrasted by highly variable trends at local scales, suggesting that biodiversity …

Tropical reef systems are transitioning to a new era in which the interval between recurrent
bouts of coral bleaching is too short for a full recovery of mature assemblages. We analyzed …

Abstract Motivation The BioTIME database contains raw data on species identities and
abundances in ecological assemblages through time. These data enable users to calculate …

Coral reefs in the Anthropocene are being subjected to unprecedented levels of stressors,
including local disturbances—such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution—and …

Species identification based on the DNA sequence of a fragment of the cytochrome c
oxidase subunit I gene in the mitochondrial genome, DNA barcoding, is widely applied to …

Abstract “Refuge theory” suggests that global warming would be beneficial to corals in high
latitude waters. In theory, then, the Weizhou Island reef (21° 00′–21° 10′ N, 109° 00 …

Despite growing interest in resilience, there is still significant scope for increasing its
conceptual clarity and practical relevance in socio-hydrological contexts: specifically …

Rapidly changing conditions alter disturbance patterns, highlighting the need to better
understand how the transition from pulse disturbances to more persistent stress will impact …

Climate change has led to a decline in the health of corals and coral reefs around the world.
Studies have shown that, while some corals can cope with natural and anthropogenic …

Global reef degradation is a critical environmental health issue that has triggered intensive
research on ocean warming, but the implications of emerging contaminants in coral habitats …
