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 …

Increasing thermal stress for tropical coral reefs: 1871–2017
Tropical corals live close to their upper thermal limit making them vulnerable to unusually
warm summer sea temperatures. The resulting thermal stress can lead to breakdown of the …

DNA barcoding and metabarcoding of standardized samples reveal patterns of marine benthic diversity
M Leray, N Knowlton - … of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 - National Acad Sciences
Documenting the diversity of marine life is challenging because many species are cryptic,
small, and rare, and belong to poorly known groups. New sequencing technologies …
