Coral reef ecosystems thrive in tropical oligotrophic oceans because of the relationship
between corals and endosymbiotic dinoflagellate algae called Symbiodinium …

Aquatic eddy covariance (AEC) is increasingly being used to study benthic oxygen (O2) flux
dynamics, organic carbon cycling, and ecosystem health in marine and freshwater …

Coral bleaching is the single largest global threat to coral reefs worldwide. Integrating the
diverse body of work on coral bleaching is critical to understanding and combating this …

In the last two decades, genetic and genomic studies have revealed the astonishing
diversity and ubiquity of microorganisms. Emergence and expansion of the human …

Reef-building corals provide the foundation for the structural and biological diversity of coral-
reef ecosystems. These massive biological structures, which can be seen from space, are …

Plant posture can play a key role in the health of aquatic vegetation, by setting drag,
controlling light availability, and mediating the exchange of nutrients and oxygen. We study …

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 …

In this paper, we present an experimental and numerical study that describes the motion of
flexible blades, scaled to be dynamically similar to natural aquatic vegetation, forced by …

Coral reefs are suffering unprecedented declines worldwide. Most studies focus on stressors
such as rising temperatures, nutrient pollution, overfishing, and ocean acidification as …

Highly productive tropical seagrasses often live adjacent to or among coral reefs and utilize
large amounts of inorganic carbon. In this study, the effect of seagrass productivity on …
