abstract Coastal ecosystems play a disproportionately large role in society, and climate
change is altering their ecological structure and function, as well as their highly valued …

Abstract Changes in disturbance regimes due to climate change are increasingly
challenging the capacity of ecosystems to absorb recurrent shocks and reassemble …

The severity of marine heatwaves (MHWs) that are increasingly impacting ocean
ecosystems, including vulnerable coral reefs, has primarily been assessed using remotely …

Close-range underwater photogrammetry, hereafter referred to as photogrammetry, is
rapidly emerging as a new standard in measuring and monitoring coral reefs due to its …

Mass thermal bleaching events are a primary threat to coral reefs, yet the sublethal impacts,
particularly on energetics and reproduction, are poorly characterized. Given that the …

Nutrient pollution is altering coastal ecosystems worldwide. On coral reefs, excess nutrients
can favor the production of algae at the expense of reef‐building corals, yet the role of …

For many long‐lived taxa, such as trees and corals, older, and larger individuals often have
the lowest mortality and highest fecundity. However, climate change‐driven disturbances …

Coral reefs are in decline worldwide, making it increasingly important to promote coral
recruitment in new or degraded habitat. Coral reef morphology—the structural form of reef …

Ecosystem recovery from human‐induced disturbances, whether through natural processes
or restoration, is occurring worldwide. Yet, recovery dynamics, and their implications for …

The loss of functional and accreting coral reefs reduces coastal protection and resilience for
tropical coastlines. Coral restoration has potential for recovering healthy reefs that can …
