Coral reefs in shallow-water environments (< 30 m) are in decline due to local and global
anthropogenic stresses. This has led to renewed interest in the 'deep reef refugia'hypothesis …

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 …

Aim High‐latitude coral reef communities composed of tropical, subtropical and temperate
species are heralded as climate change refuges for vulnerable tropical coral reef species …

One of the most critical challenges facing ecologists today is to understand the changing
geographic distribution of species in response to current and predicted global warming …

Frequent marine heatwaves (MHWs), concurrent with climate warming, threaten global low-
latitude, pristine coral reefs, leading to growing interest in identifying marginal coral reefs …

Advances in our knowledge of eastern tropical Pacific (ETP) coral reef biogeography and
ecology during the past two decades are briefly reviewed. Fifteen ETP subregions are …

This book presents both state-of-the art knowledge from Recent coral reefs (1.8 million to a
few centuries old) gained since the eighties, and introduces geologists, oceanographers …

Abstract “Refuge theory” suggests that global warming would be beneficial to corals in high
latitude waters. In theory, then, the Weizhou Island reef (21° 00′–21° 10′ N, 109° 00 …

Survival of coral planulae, and the successful settlement and healthy growth of primary
polyps are critical for the dispersal of scleractinian corals and hence the recovery of …

Rising atmospheric CO 2 concentrations are placing spatially divergent stresses on the
world's tropical coral reefs through increasing ocean surface temperatures and ocean …
