Using demographic models to project the effects of climate change on scleractinian corals: Pocillopora damicornis as a case study
Using empirical analyses of the effects of global climate change (GCC) and ocean acidification (OA) on the survival and calcification of early life stages of Pocillopora damicornis, we employed a demographic appr...

Ocean acidification has no effect on thermal bleaching in the coral Seriatopora caliendrum
The objective of this study was to test whether elevated pCO2 predicted for the year 2100 (85.1 Pa) affects bleaching in the coral Seriatopora caliendrum (Ehrenberg 1834) either independently or interactively wit...
