Is ocean acidification really a threat to marine calcifiers? A systematic review and meta‐analysis of 980+ studies spanning two decades
Ocean acidification is considered detrimental to marine calcifiers, but mounting contradictory
evidence suggests a need to revisit this concept. This systematic review and meta‐analysis …

Corallivory in the Anthropocene: interactive effects of anthropogenic stressors and corallivory on coral reefs
Corallivory is the predation of coral mucus, tissue, and skeleton by fishes and invertebrates,
and a source of chronic stress for many reef-building coral species. Corallivores often prey …
