McKinnon AD, Duggan S, Logan M, Lonborg C (2017) Plankton respiration, production, and trophic state in tropical coastal and shelf waters adjacent to Northern Australia. Frontiers in Marine Science 4: 346

In a changing ocean, tropical waters can be instructive as to the potential effects of climate induced changes on marine ecosystem structure and function. We describe the relationships between planktonic community respiration ...
Chakravarti LJ, Negri AP, van Oppen MJH (2019) Thermal and herbicide tolerances of chromerid algae and their ability to form a symbiosis with corals. Frontiers in Microbiology 10: 173

Reef-building corals form an obligate symbiosis with photosynthetic microalgae in the family Symbiodiniaceae that meet most of their energy requirements. This symbiosis is under threat from the unprecedented rate of ocean ...

Frontiers in Marine Science 5: 346

Developing enduring capacity to monitor ocean life requires investing in people and their institutions to build infrastructure, ownership, and long-term support networks. International initiatives can enhance access to ...

ACS Sensors 4(1): 32-43

In recent decades, biologists have sought to tag animals with various sensors to study aspects of their behavior otherwise inaccessible from controlled laboratory experiments. Despite this, chemical information, both ...
Zinke J, D'Olivo JP, Gey CJ, McCulloch MT, Bruggemann JH, Lough JM, Guillaume MMM (2019) Multi-trace-element sea surface temperature coral reconstruction for the southern Mozambique Channel reveals teleconnections with the tropical Atlantic. Biogeosciences 16: 695-712

Here we report seasonally resolved sea surface temperatures for the southern Mozambique Channel in the SW Indian Ocean based on multi-trace-element temperature proxy records preserved in two Porites sp. coral cores. ...
Lonborg C, Cuevas LA, Reinthaler T, Herndl GJ, Gasol JM, Moran XAG, Bates NR, Alvarez-Salgado XA (2016) Depth dependent relationships between temperature and ocean heterotrophic prokaryotic production. Frontiers in Marine Science 3: 90

Marine prokaryotes play a key role in cycling of organic matter and nutrients in the ocean. Using a unique dataset (>14,500 samples), we applied a space-for-time substitution analysis to assess the temperature dependence ...
West AG, Waite DW, Deines P, Bourne DG, Digby A, McKenzie VJ, Taylor MW (2019) The microbiome in threatened species conservation. Biological Conservation 229: 85-98

As global biodiversity continues to reduce at an alarming rate, threatened species are increasingly being brought under intensive management or into captivity. However, current conservation management programmes are often ...
Zhang WP, Ding W, Li YX, Tam C, Bougouffa S, Wang RJ, Pei BT, Chiang HY, Leung P, Lu YH, Sun J, Fu H, Bajic VB, Liu HB, Webster NS, Qian PY (2019) Marine biofilms constitute a bank of hidden microbial diversity and functional potential. Nature Communications 10: 517

Recent big data analyses have illuminated marine microbial diversity from a global perspective, focusing on planktonic microorganisms. Here, we analyze 2.5 terabases of newly sequenced datasets and the Tara Oceans metagenomes ...
Heupel MR, Papastamatiou YP, Espinoza M, Green ME, Simpfendorfer CA (2019) Reef Shark Science - Key Questions and Future Directions. Frontiers in Marine Science 6: 12

The occurrence of sharks on coral reefs has been well documented for decades, especially since the advent of SCUBA diving. Despite this, it is only within the last decade that substantial research effort has been directed ...
Reed EV, Cole JE, Lough JM, Thompson D, Cantin NE (2019) Linking climate variability and growth in coral skeletal records from the Great Barrier Reef. Coral Reefs 38(1): 29-43

The remoteness of the northern Great Barrier Reef makes observations of environmental change and coral health sparse, but provides opportunities for paleoclimate and paleoecology proxies to contribute new insights into ...
