Seagrass meadows are important sources of reef island-building sediment
The future vulnerability of low-lying atoll nations is inextricably linked to the production of carbonate sediments by organisms living in their...

Patch Reef Degradation in Subtropics, San Salvador Island, Bahamas
Patch reefs are small isolated reefs commonly found on modern carbonate banks, and in (sub)tropical lagoons. To better understand the modern...

Monitoring the Mangrove Colonization on the Uplifted Reef Beds in the North Andaman Island, India
The coastal uplift post 2004 tsunami has altered tidal regimes in North Andaman and created new intertidal at erstwhile reef beds suitable for...

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...

Genomic evidence indicates small island-resident populations and sex-biased behaviors of Hawaiian reef Manta Rays
BackgroundReef manta rays ( Mobula alfredi ) are globally distributed in tropical and subtropical seas. Their life history traits (slow growth, late...

Change in the subtidal reef fish assemblage at Kuchierabu-jima Island, southern Japan, between 1972 and 2005
Change in the subtidal reef fish assemblage at Kuchierabu-jima Island, southern Japan, since the 1970s was investigated using an underwater visual...

eDNA monitoring detects new outbreak wave of corallivorous seastar (Acanthaster cf. solaris) at Lizard Island, Great Barrier Reef
Crown-of-thorns seastar (CoTS, Acanthaster cf. solaris ) outbreaks remain a significant cause of coral loss on the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) and across...

Genetic evidence for plastic reproductive philopatry and matrotrophy in blacktip reef sharks (Carcharhinus melanopterus) of the Moorea Island (French Polynesia)
The exploitation of sharks and the degradation of their habitats elevate the urgency to understand the factors that influence offspring survival and...

The ridge-to-reef approach on Cicia Island, Fiji
Many Pacific countries and territories embrace an officially recognized ‘ridge-to-reef’ approach to environmental management. This is the case of...

An investigation of the morphodynamic change of reef islands under monochromatic waves
The persistence and habitability of coral reef islands in future extreme oceanographic conditions has received increasing attention in the recent...
