Many ecosystems around the world are rapidly deteriorating due to both local and global
pressures, and perhaps none so precipitously as coral reefs. Management of coral reefs …

Reversing coral reef decline requires reducing environmental threats while actively restoring
reef ecological structure and function. A promising restoration approach uses coral breeding …

Reef-building corals thriving in extreme thermal environments may provide genetic variation
that can assist the evolution of populations to rapid climate warming. However, the feasibility …

Coral-reef ecosystems are experiencing frequent and severe disturbance events that are
reducing global coral abundance and potentially overwhelming the natural capacity for reefs …

Reef-building corals have essential roles in reef ecosystems but are highly susceptible to
disturbances. Increasing anthropogenic disturbances are eroding coral community …

The ecological resilience of coral reefs depends critically on the capacity of coral
populations to re-establish in habitats dominated by macroalgae. Coral reefs globally are …

Ocean acidification (OA) refers to the increase in acidity (decrease in pH) of the ocean's
surface waters resulting from oceanic uptake of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) …

Aquaculture of coral offers an alternative to wild harvest for the ornamental trade and shows
considerable promise for restoring reefs and preserving biodiversity. Here, we compare …

Events occurring early in life history can have profound effects on the structure of
populations and communities. In particular, susceptibility to predation is often highest early …

Loss of foundation reef-corals is eroding the viability of reef communities and ecosystem
function in many regions globally. Coral populations are naturally resilient but when …
