Coral growth rates are part of a demographic approach to monitoring coral reef health in times of climate change, and linear extension rates (mm.yr-1) of Acropora palmata branching corals at Dairy Bull, Rio Bueno, and Pear Tree Bottom on the north coast of Jamaica were c. 50 - 90 mm....

The coral reef fish community of Hawaii is composed of hundreds of species, supports a multimillion dollar fishing and tourism industry, and is of great cultural importance to the local population. However, a major stock assessment of Hawaiian coral reef fish populations has not yet been conducted...
POPULATIONS of the coral predator,, are changing their distribution on the Great Barrier Reef. Investigations before late 1969 indicated that it was commonest on reefs between 14° 40′ S and 18° S(see also Table 1). I have been studyingsince 1969, and have found that it has become ...
This chapter suggests two major patterns related to the density dependence in coral reef fish population. Demographic density dependence is generally defined as an effect of the present and/or past population sizes on the per-capita population growth rate. Coral reef fishes support major fisheries an...

At the family level of taxonomic resolution, we found that the same bacterial groups were typically the dominant responders to all chemoattractants, indicating that microorganisms belonging to a restricted range of bacterial families perform che- motaxis in the coral reef environment. These groups ...
The sedimentary record of extreme natural events, such as tsunamis and tropical storms, and their impacts on coral reefs are present in the form of coarse onshore reef debris. These coarse sediments provide information on, for example, spatial and temporal variability of extreme events. The short...
