One-third of reef-building corals face elevated extinction risk from climate change and local impacts

TL;DR: The Caribbean has the largest proportion of corals in high extinction risk categories, whereas the Coral Triangle has the highest proportion of species in all categories of elevated extinction risk.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Comparison of satellite data against field surveys demonstrated a significant predictive relationship between accumulated heat stress (measured using NOAA Coral Reef Watch's Degree Heating Weeks) and bleaching intensity.
Journal ArticleDOI

The significance of coral disease epizootiology for coral reef conservation

TL;DR: The relationship between human activities and the incidence of coral disease is particularly important since it is frequently assumed that the number and prevalence of diseases are increasing, and are indicative of a general decline in the marine environment as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI

Revealing the appetite of the marine aquarium fish trade: the volume and biodiversity of fish imported into the United States.

TL;DR: This is the first study of aquarium trade imports to compare commercial invoices to government forms and provides a means to, routinely and in real time, examine the biodiversity of the trade in coral reef wildlife species.

Spread of a black-band disease epizootic through the coral reef system in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica

TL;DR: The distribution, abundance and dispersion patterns of black-band disease (BBD) [Phormidium corallyticum (Cyanobacterium)] were determined on four shallow reefs located on the north coast of Jamaica, finding the distribution of diseased corals appeared to be clumped and infections progressing from one individual to adjacent corals which were attached by contiguous skeleton but unconnected by live tissue.
