Coral reef declines have been recorded for all major tropical ocean basins since the 1980s,
averaging approximately 30-50% reductions in reef cover globally. These losses are a result …

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

Active coral restoration typically involves two interventions: crossing gametes to facilitate
sexual larval propagation; and fragmenting, growing, and outplanting adult colonies to …

Caribbean reef corals have experienced unprecedented declines from climate change,
anthropogenic stressors and infectious diseases in recent decades. Since 2014, a highly …

The stony-coral-tissue-loss disease (SCTLD) has recently caused widespread loss of coral
along the Florida reef tract. Yet little is known about where, when, and why this coral disease …

Coral reefs are suffering global declines due to climate change, natural disasters, pollution,
and diseases. Coral disease events have increased in frequency and severity in the past …

Coral reefs worldwide are in a state of decline, but the population status and impacts of
stressors for rare species are generally not well documented using broad-scale monitoring …

Mutualisms where hosts are coupled metabolically to their symbionts often exhibit high
partner fidelity. Most reef‐building coral species form obligate symbioses with a specific …

Coral reefs are the most diverse marine ecosystems. However, coral cover has decreased
worldwide due to natural disturbances, climate change, and local anthropogenic drivers. In …

Members of the family Meandrinidae are highly susceptible to stony coral tissue loss
disease, resulting in population reductions up to 88% in both Dendrogyra cylindrus and …
