Relationships between shelter volume and the colony diameter, planar area or surface correspond to the allometric growth of reef building corals: for all growth forms (branching, columnar, massive and tabular), the shelter volume is scaled to diameter to the power of 3 and to planar area to th...
This doesn’t meanCoral Islandis a dull copy of its influences. Instead, it’s a game that celebrates those influences and borrows the best bits where necessary to make a game that does a lot of good in its own right. For a start, the town is one of the most impressive I’ve seen...
Genetic structure of Porites spp. around Seychelles. (a) Phylogenomic relationships of 241 samples (based on 182,511 LD-filtered SNPs) with ultrafast bootstrap support values shown at the internal nodes; (b) structure plot for the Y clade (area highlighted green on phylogenetic tree; 78 sample...
Here, we empirically tested relationships between recruitment of coral reef fishes and macroalgal patch complexity at a fine, intra-thallus scale (thallus biomass), and a coarser inter-thallus scale (thallus density). This was achieved using a field experiment which manipulated the thallus biomass a...

However, the high meteoric precipitation in this area, which may cause a heavy run-off from the Island, may change seawater Sr/Ca and U/Ca ratios and ruin the relationships between coralline Sr/Ca or U/Ca ratios and SST. This implies that in coastal areas like Hainan, coralline Mg/Ca...
The potential for intra-habitat variation in fish communities was demonstrated in The Bahamas, where little significant intra-habitat variability was found among reefs on the same island, but significant inter-island variation occurred in the majority of habitat types [279]. This variation, driven ...
particularly to the understanding of food chains and predator-prey relationships. Marine biological information on the distribution offishand crustacean populations is of great importance to fisheries. Marine biology is also concerned with the effects of certain forms ofpollutionon the fish and plant life...
Thus, on the basis of these results, it is possible to examine relationships and conditions that cause the white foaming phenomenon in corals. These models can be used to model and predict coral reef bleaching during climate change. Later on, the data set was used to cluster groups of ...
