Caribbean coral reef habitats, seagrass beds and mangroves provide important goods and
services both individually and through functional linkages. A range of anthropogenic factors …

Lobophora variegata and Dictyota pulchella are dominant algal components on coral reefs
across the Caribbean, but the mechanisms and outcomes of spatial competition between …

Events occurring early in life history can have profound effects on the structure of
populations and communities. In particular, susceptibility to predation is often highest early …

Six reef sites were chosen along the west coast of the southern islands of Singapore, at an
increasing distance from the densely populated metropolitan area, to study the spatial …

The development of a coral community was monitored for 6 years (1998–2004) on 46 m 2 of
artificial settlement substrate in Curaçao, Netherlands Antilles. Growth and survival of …

The spatio-temporal variability of scleractinian coral recruitment was investigated from
December 2000 to December 2003 around Moorea Island (French Polynesia). Nine …

Puerto Rico, the easternmost island (18 15′ N and 66 30′ W) of the Greater Antilles, is
about 50 km wide and 180 km long on its east/west axis, and has a coastline of 1,384 km …

Juvenile corals are an important component of the population dynamics of corals, but little is
known about the ecology and natural history of their early life-history stages. In demographic …

The objective of this paper is to find good proxies that are important to explain the spatial
variation of beta/delta diversity in coral reefs. To reach that objective, we looked for and …

The persistence and resilience of marginal shallow coral reefs at their limits of
environmental tolerance have declined due to chronic environmental degradation and …
