Biology and epibiont community of the red decorator crab, Schizophrys aspera, on the southern Great Barrier Reef Coral Reefs (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-03-05
Abstract Organismal symbioses are fundamental to biodiversity, evolution, and ecosystem functioning. On coral reefs, many decapod species have formed distinct epibiotic symbioses through decoration tendencies that enhance diet, camouflage, and defence. The red decorator crab, Schizophrys aspera (Majidae: Decapoda), has a broad Indo-Pacific distribution and is a successful predator of juvenile crown-of-thorns

Studying functions on coral reefs: past perspectives, current conundrums, and future potential Coral Reefs (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-24
Abstract Function-based studies have opened a new chapter in our understanding of coral reefs. Unfortunately, we are opening this chapter as the world’s reefs rapidly transform. In this context, one of the most important roles of function-based studies is to inform coral reef conservation. At this critical juncture, we have a chance to reflect on where we have come from, and where we are going, in

Cryptic diversification, phenotypic plasticity, and host specialization in a sponge-dwelling goby Coral Reefs (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-22
Abstract Coral reefs harbor 30% of oceanic biodiversity, but many species remain undiscovered. Indeed, coral reef taxonomic inventories are heavily skewed toward large, conspicuous organisms, leaving numerous smaller, cryptic species undescribed. Cryptobenthic reef fishes, such as gobies, can speciate rapidly due to short lifespans and limited dispersal, and ecological specialization may facilitate

Exploring benthic habitat assessments on coral reefs: a comparison of direct field measurements versus remote sensing Coral Reefs (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-02-06
Abstract Coral reefs are spatially variable ecosystems that form biogenic structures ranging in size from 10 to 1000s of meters. Their changes in response to anthropogenic stress are occurring across increasingly broad scales, yet our ability to detect, understand and respond to these changes at relevant scales is limited. Traditional in-water observation-based coral reef ecology and remote sensing-based

Acclimation period affects tissue condition in the Caribbean staghorn coral, Acropora cervicornis Coral Reefs (IF 3.5) Pub Date : 2024-01-20
Abstract Many published coral disease pathogen transmission and heat stress studies lack consistent acclimation periods in their experimental design, making it difficult to interpret or compare results between studies. To determine if condition of coral tissue changes during laboratory acclimation, thus potentially influencing susceptibility to stressors, we conducted a histological analysis on fragments

Abstract The identification of bleaching tolerant traits among individual corals is a major focus for many restoration and conservation initiatives but often relies on large scale or high-throughput experimental manipulations which may not be accessible to many front-line restoration practitioners. Here, we evaluate a machine learning technique to generate a predictive model which estimates bleaching
