To test whether this decline in the distinctness of the benthic holobiont community microbiome occurs, we generated a unique multiomic dataset from autonomous reef monitoring structures (ARMS) deployed on a natural OA gradient caused by CO2seeps. ARMS are three-dimensional, artificial settlement structur...
Coral Ba/Ca records of sediment input to the fringing reef of the southshore of Moloka'i, Hawai'i over the last several decades. The fringing reef of southern Moloka'i is perceived to be in decline because of land-based pollution. In the absence of historical records of sediment poll......
The long-term decline of the Luhuitou coral reef has most likely been driven as a result of anthropogenic activities, such as overfishing, destructive fishing, reef rock digging, and mariculture and tourism activities. Our study reinforces previous works and highlights the vulnerability of coral ...
relatively high-light intensity, full light spectrum, habitat such as upper reef slopes (Veron2000), while spat survival is often highest in reef crevice
The Nature, Timing, and Causes of Global Coral Reef Decline (and their policy implications)Pandolfi, John
In their Report "Global trajectories of the long-term decline of coral reef ecosystems" (15 Aug., p. [955][1]), J. M. Pandolfi et al. advocate a novel interpretation of the timing and causes of the worldwide decline of reef-building cora... RB Aronson - 《Science》 被引量: 106发...
To better understand the decline of one of earth’s most biodiverse habitats, coral reefs, many survey programs employ regular photographs of the benthos. An emerging challenge is the time required to annotate the large volume of digital imagery generated by these surveys. Here, we leverage existi...

Severe climatic disturbance events often have major impacts on coral reef communities, generating cycles of decline and recovery, and in some extreme cases, community-level phase shifts from coral-to algal-dominated states. Benthic habitat changes directly affect reef fish communities, with low coral ...
