Projecting coral reef futures under global warming and ocean acidification
Many physiological responses in present-day coral reefs to climate change are interpreted
as consistent with the imminent disappearance of modern reefs globally because of annual …

Spatial and temporal patterns of mass bleaching of corals in the Anthropocene
Tropical reef systems are transitioning to a new era in which the interval between recurrent
bouts of coral bleaching is too short for a full recovery of mature assemblages. We analyzed …

Herbivory and the resilience of Caribbean coral reefs: knowledge gaps and implications for management
Herbivory is a key process on coral reefs that can facilitate reef-building corals by excluding
algae that otherwise negatively impact coral settlement, growth, and survivorship. Over the …
