Changing geo‐ecological functions of coral reefs in the Anthropocene
CT Perry, L Alvarez‐Filip - Functional Ecology, 2019 - Wiley Online Library
The ecology of many coral reefs has changed markedly over recent decades in response to
various combinations of local and global stressors. These ecological changes have …

Population growth and climate change: Addressing the overlooked threat multiplier
Demographic trends will play a role in determining the magnitude of climate disruption and
the ability of societies to adapt to it. Yet policy makers largely ignore the potential of fertility …

Global status and conservation potential of reef sharks
Decades of overexploitation have devastated shark populations, leaving considerable doubt
as to their ecological status,. Yet much of what is known about sharks has been inferred from …

Drivers of global mangrove loss and gain in social-ecological systems
Mangrove forests store high amounts of carbon, protect communities from storms, and
support fisheries. Mangroves exist in complex social-ecological systems, hence identifying …

Coral reefs benefit from reduced land–sea impacts under ocean warming
Coral reef ecosystems are being fundamentally restructured by local human impacts and
climate-driven marine heatwaves that trigger mass coral bleaching and mortality. Reducing …

Half a century of rising extinction risk of coral reef sharks and rays
Sharks and rays are key functional components of coral reef ecosystems, yet many
populations of a few species exhibit signs of depletion and local extinctions. The question is …

Towards an urban marine ecology: characterizing the drivers, patterns and processes of marine ecosystems in coastal cities
Human population density within 100 km of the sea is approximately three times higher than
the global average. People in this zone are concentrated in coastal cities that are hubs for …

Individual and population benefits of marine reserves for reef sharks
No-take marine protected areas (MPAs) are a commonly applied tool to reduce human
fishing impacts on marine and coastal ecosystems. However, conservation outcomes of …

Anthropogenic Marine Debris assessment with Unmanned Aerial Vehicle imagery and deep learning: A case study along the beaches of the Republic of Maldives
Abstract Anthropogenic Marine Debris (AMD) is one of the major environmental issues of
our planet to date, and plastic accounts for 80% of total AMD. Beaches represent one of the …

Meeting fisheries, ecosystem function, and biodiversity goals in a human-dominated world
The worldwide decline of coral reefs necessitates targeting management solutions that can
sustain reefs and the livelihoods of the people who depend on them. However, little is …
