Thirty years of research on crown-of-thorns starfish (1986–2016): scientific advances and emerging opportunities
Research on the coral-eating crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS) has waxed and waned over
the last few decades, mostly in response to population outbreaks at specific locations. This …

Loss of coral reef growth capacity to track future increases in sea level
Sea-level rise (SLR) is predicted to elevate water depths above coral reefs and to increase
coastal wave exposure as ecological degradation limits vertical reef growth, but projections …
