Coral recruitment: patterns and processes determining the dynamics of coral populations
PJ Edmunds - Biological Reviews, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

Growing coral larger and faster: micro-colony-fusion as a strategy for accelerating coral cover
ZH Forsman, CA Page, RJ Toonen, D Vaughan - PeerJ, 2015 - peerj.com
Fusion is an important life history strategy for clonal organisms to increase access to shared
resources, to compete for space, and to recover from disturbance. For reef building corals …

Recruitment drives spatial variation in recovery rates of resilient coral reefs
Tropical reefs often undergo acute disturbances that result in landscape-scale loss of coral.
Due to increasing threats to coral reefs from climate change and anthropogenic …

Linking demographic processes of juvenile corals to benthic recovery trajectories in two common reef habitats
Tropical reefs are dynamic ecosystems that host diverse coral assemblages with different life-
history strategies. Here, we quantified how juvenile (< 50 mm) coral demographics …

Large-area imaging reveals biologically driven non-random spatial patterns of corals at a remote reef
For sessile organisms such as reef-building corals, differences in the degree of dispersion of
individuals across a landscape may result from important differences in life-history strategies …

Successive marine heatwaves cause disproportionate coral bleaching during a fast phase transition from El Niño to La Niña
The frequency and intensity of marine heatwaves that result in coral bleaching events have
increased over recent decades and led to catastrophic losses of reef-building corals in many …

A functional approach to the structural complexity of coral assemblages based on colony morphological features
Colony morphological features is among the best predictor of the scleractinian coral's
function in reef ecosystems. However, morphological traits are categorical and to convert …
