Algal ridges are protective features for coral reefs that form through the accretion and
encrustation of reef rubble and debris by crustose coralline algae (CCA) and processes of …

Recent research suggests that nitrogen (N) cycling microbes are important for coral
holobiont functioning. In particular, coral holobionts may acquire bioavailable N via …

Nitrogen cycling in coral reefs may be affected by nutrient availability, but knowledge about
concentration-dependent thresholds that modulate dinitrogen fixation and denitrification is …

Microscopic filaments of the siphonous green algae Ostreobium (Ulvophyceae,
Bryopsidales) colonize and dissolve the calcium carbonate skeletons of coral colonies in …

Anthropogenic stressors increasingly cause ecosystem-level changes to sensitive marine
habitats such as coral reefs. Intensification of coastal development and shipping traffic can …

Coral reefs are essential sources of goods and services for human well-being (Morrison et
al. 2019; Woodhead et al. 2019) but are also one of the biomes most affected by human …

Coral reefs support diverse fish communities, which are critical to sustaining the ecosystem
functions and services provided by many tropical coastlines (Allgeier et al. 2015a; …

Shallow tropical coral reefs are characterized by exceptionally high biological activity and
abundant biodiversity, making them perhaps the most iconic marine ecosystems in the world …

The nitrogen (N) cycling community in tropical coral microbiomes is purported to provide a
range of alternative N uptake, release and recycling mechanisms, potentially having both …
