Projecting coral reef futures under global warming and ocean acidification
Many physiological responses in present-day coral reefs to climate change are interpreted
as consistent with the imminent disappearance of modern reefs globally because of annual …

Rising to the challenge of sustaining coral reef resilience
Phase-shifts from one persistent assemblage of species to another have become
increasingly commonplace on coral reefs and in many other ecosystems due to escalating …

Thresholds for ecological responses to global change do not emerge from empirical data
To understand ecosystem responses to anthropogenic global change, a prevailing
framework is the definition of threshold levels of pressure, above which response …

Re-evaluating the health of coral reef communities: baselines and evidence for human impacts across the central Pacific
Numerous studies have documented declines in the abundance of reef-building corals over
the last several decades and in some but not all cases, phase shifts to dominance by …

Global disparity in the resilience of coral reefs
The great sensitivity of coral reefs to climate change has raised concern over their resilience.
An emerging body of resilience theory stems largely from research carried out in a single …
