Abstract Aim The Red Sea is characterised by a unique fauna and historical periods of
desiccation, hypersalinity and intermittent isolation. The origin and contemporary …

Climate change is one of the greatest threats to the persistence of coral reefs. Sustained and
ongoing increases in ocean temperatures and acidification are altering the structure and …

Understanding how geography, oceanography, and climate have ultimately shaped marine
biodiversity requires aligning the distributions of genetic diversity across multiple taxa. Here …

Species diversity assessments are an important step to evaluate the conservation status of a
community, both in marine and terrestrial ecosystems. These assessments are pivotal if …

The family Pomacentridae is a species-rich group of primarily marine fishes. The
phylogenetic relationships of the damselfishes are examined herein using sequence data …

The largest marine biodiversity hotspot straddles the I ndian and P acific O ceans, driven by
taxa associated with tropical coral reefs. Centred on the I ndo‐A ustralian A rchipelago (IAA) …

Relatively small volumes of water may contain sufficient environmental DNA (eDNA) to
detect target aquatic organisms via genetic sequencing. We therefore assessed the utility of …

Aim The aim of the study was to assess the diversity of algal symbionts of the family
Symbiodiniaceae associated with the coral genus Porites in the Red Sea, and to test for host …

This chapter introduces the environmental gradients that characterize the broader Red Sea
habitat. The Red Sea is formed by an actively spreading rift and notably has only one natural …

This study marked the first exploration of microplastics in marine invertebrates in the Red
Sea Coast of Egypt. 110 individuals from 11 different species, including Bivalvia …
