Impact of fear effect exerted by Pterois volitans on a coral reef ecosystem with parrotfish refuge and harvesting of both fishes
The number of coral reefs around the world is slowly declining due to environmental and anthropogenic reason, and Pterois volitans also put extra...

Social–ecological benefits of land–sea planning at multiple scales in Mesoamerica
Deforestation impacts the ecosystem services provided by downstream coral reefs to coastal communities in multiple ways, such as through increased...

Ocean warming and acidification uncouple calcification from calcifier biomass which accelerates coral reef decline
Global climate change will drive declines in coral reefs over coming decades. Yet, the relative role of temperature versus acidification, and the...

Impacts of unpaved roads on runoff and erosion in a dry tropical setting: Isla De Culebra, Puerto Rico
PurposeUnpaved road erosion represents a key source of terrigenous sediment threatening Caribbean coral reefs, yet no empirical data existed to...

Drivers of shoreline change on Pacific coral reef islands: linking island change to processes
Reef islands are considered highly vulnerable to the impacts of anthropogenic climate change. While existing studies provide evidence of high...

Quantifying global potential for coral evolutionary response to climate change
Incorporating species’ ability to adaptively respond to climate change is critical for robustly predicting persistence. One such example could be the...

An approach for assessing ecosystem-based adaptation in coral reefs at relatively high latitudes to climate change and human pressure
Relatively high-latitude waters are supposed as a refuge for corals under ocean warming. A systematic assessment of the Weizhou Island reef in the...

Influence of reef isostasy, dynamic topography, and glacial isostatic adjustment on sea-level records in Northeastern Australia
Understanding sea level during the peak of the Last Interglacial (125,000 yrs ago) is important for assessing future ice-sheet dynamics in response...

The benefits and challenges of citizen science for coastal wetlands management in Andaman and Nicobar archipelago—a review
The coastal wetlands of Andaman and Nicobar Islands (ANI) constitute 98.6% of the total wetland area (143,238 ha) of the islands, out of which coral...
