high-spatial resolutionspatial statisticsCoral reefs are spatially heterogeneous environments when observed from high to moderate spatial resolution satellite and airborne imaging systems. Currently, there is a lack of suitable techniques for mapping reef environments from image data at high spatial ...
becoming important sources of reef productivity. The sediments trapped within algal turfs are known to determine turf condition and influence a range of key ecological processes, particularly the feeding behavior of fishes. Yet, our understanding of the interactions between turfs, sediments and...

A detailed ecological, micro-structural and skeletal Sr/Ca study of a 3.42 m thick Goniopora reef profile from an emerged Holocene reef terrace at the northern South China Sea reveals at least nine abrupt massive Goniopora stress and mortality events occurred in winter during the 7.0–7.5 thousand...
Using very high resolution remote sensing for the management of coral reef fisheries: Review and perspectives Coral reef fisheries are critical for food security and as a source of income in developing and developed countries, but they are collapsing in many areas... Melanie A. Hamel,Serge Andre...
(Figure1). However, the high level of gene expression variation revealed might be a natural-occurring phenomenon in wild populations of reef corals. In light of these results, two significant questions arise. Firstly, what are the sources/mechanisms driving differences in the gene expression ...
Coral reef management plans should consider local-scale connectivity dynamics when developing MPA regulations, possibly enforcing stricter policies in more highly connected coral populations to improve the efficacy of the MPA network as a whole. High levels of genetic connectivity forM. cavernosahave ...
https://youtu.be/znOidiyUnq8 Sky News AustraliaFormer JCU Marine Physicist Peter Ridd says the Great Barrier Reef is now experiencing “record high coral cover”. “This is data that’s been accumulated over a little while now and it shows … it’s actua
The reef structure, including patch reefs, ridges, and pinnacles, was classified into two groups—“reef edge” and “reef interior”. The edge of the reef structure is the prime locus of active coral growth, where hydrodynamic shear is high, thinning the diffusive boundary layer between reef ...
