With rubble predicted to increase on coral reefs worldwide, we review the physical,
biological, and ecological dynamics of rubble beds, with a focus on how rubble generation …

Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

230Coral reefs provide critical ecological and geomorphic (eg sediment production for reef-
fronted shoreline maintenance) services, which interact in complex and dynamic ways …

Historically, marine populations were considered to be interconnected across large
geographic regions due to the lack of apparent physical barriers to dispersal, coupled with a …

Recruitment processes largely drive spatial distributions, dynamics, and recovery potential
of marine communities. Determining scales of variation in recruitment rates and composition …

Coral larval settlement patterns are influenced by a vast array of factors; however, the
relative roles of individual factors are rarely tested in isolation, leading to confusion about …

The global degradation of natural coral reefs requires innovative approaches to their
conservation and restoration. This study investigates the efficacy of using parametric design …

Deciphering the behavioural ecology of adult (sessile) sponges is challenging. However,
their motile larval stages afford opportunities to investigate how behaviour contributes to …

Scleractinian corals, the principal architects of coral reefs, face substantial threats from
ongoing and anticipated climate change and other anthropogenic disturbances. This …

Investigating coral recruitment is critical to better understand replenishment and resilience
capacities of coral reef ecosystems and to improve their conservation. Here, we examined …
