Coral reefs are one of the ecosystems most sensitive to climate change. The recent loss and degradation of coral reef ecosystems is expected to continue even if global warming is limited to 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels. ...
Blackall LL, Dungan AM, Hartman LM, van Oppen MJH (2020) Probiotics for corals. Microbiology Australia 41:100-104

Coral reefs are found in warm, oligotrophic, euphotic marine waters and occupy <0.1% of the sea floor, yet support ~25% of earth’s marine species. They provide critical ecosystem services to human populations including ...
Daly R, Daly CAK, Gray AE, Peel LR, Gordon L, Lea JSE, Clarke CR, Weng KC (2020) Investigating the efficacy of a proposed marine protected area for the Endangered humphead wrasse Cheilinus undulatus at a remote island group in Seychelles. Endangered Species Research 42:7-20

The humphead wrasse Cheilinus undulatus is an iconic, ecologically important and Endangered fish species associated with coral reefs in the Indo-Pacific region. Due to its large size and complex life history characteristics, ...
Oliver ECJ, Benthuysen JA, Darmaraki S, Donat MG, Hobday AJ, Holbrook NJ, Schlegel RW, Sen Gupta A, Carlson CA, Giovannoni SJ (2021) Marine Heatwaves. Annual Review of Marine Science 13:313-342

Ocean temperature variability is a fundamental component of the Earth's climate system, and extremes in this variability affect the health of marine ecosystems around the world. The study of marine heatwaves has emerged ...
Frade PR, Glasl B, Matthews SA, Mellin C, Serrao EA, Wolfe K, Mumby PJ, Webster NS, Bourne DG (2020) Spatial patterns of microbial communities across surface waters of the Great Barrier Reef. Communications Biology 3:442

Microorganisms are fundamental drivers of biogeochemical cycling, though their contribution to coral reef ecosystem functioning is poorly understood. Here, we infer predictors of bacterioplankton community dynamics across ...
Bouwmeester J, Coker DJ, Sinclair-Taylor TH, Berumen ML (2021) Broadcast spawning of Pocillopora verrucosa across the eastern and western coast of the central Red Sea. Ecosphere 12(1): e03340

Coral spawning is a fundamental process in the preservation of coral reef systems. However, reproductive information is still rare for many coral species and across a number of locations. No reproductive information is yet ...
Nguyen M, Wemheuer B, Laffy PW, Webster NS, Thomas T (2021) Taxonomic, functional and expression analysis of viral communities associated with marine sponges. PeerJ 9:e10715

Viruses play an essential role in shaping the structure and function of ecological communities. Marine sponges have the capacity to filter large volumes of 'virus-laden' seawater through their bodies and host dense communities ...
Miller ME, Motti CA, Menendez P, Kroon FJ (2021) Efficacy of Microplastic Separation Techniques on Seawater Samples: Testing Accuracy Using High-Density Polyethylene. Biological Bulletin (early online)

Microplastic contamination of the marine environment has been reported globally. Its pervasiveness has highlighted the importance of accurate quantification to enable comparability within and between different environmental ...
Taylor BM (2019) Standing Out in a Big Crowd: High Cultural and Economic Value of Naso unicornis in the Insular Pacific. Fishes 4(3):40

Hundreds of fish species are harvested in coral-reef fisheries in the Indo-Pacific region using a variety of fishing gears. This diversity makes the economics, ecology, and management of reef-associated fisheries inherently ...
Matthews SA, Shoemaker K, Pratchett MS, Mellin C, Riegl BM (2020) Chapter 10: COTSMod: A spatially explicit metacommunity model of outbreaks of crown-of-thorns starfish and coral recovery. In: Riegl BM (Ed.) Advances in Marine Biology:Population Dynamics of the Reef Crisis 87:259-290

Outbreaks of the Pacific crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthaster cf. solaris) have been responsible for 40% of the decline in coral cover on the GBR over the last 35 years. With the intensity and frequency of bleaching ...
Matthews SA, Mellin C, Pratchett MS, Riegl BM (2020) Chapter 9: Larval connectivity and water quality explain spatial distribution of crown-of-thorns starfish outbreaks across the Great Barrier Reef. In: Riegl BM (Ed) Advances in Marine Biology: Population Dynamics of the Reef Crisis 87:223-258

Outbreaks of the coral eating crown-of-thorns starfish (COTS; Acanthasts cf. solaris) occur in cyclical waves along the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), contributing significantly to the decline in hard coral cover over the past ...
