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
El Niño, grazers and fisheries interact to greatly elevate extinction risk for Galapagos marine species

TL;DR: Comparisons between historical and recent ecological datasets indicate that shallow reef habitats across the central Galapagos Archipelago underwent major transformation at the time of the severe 1982/1983 El Nino warming event, resulting in large local and regional declines in biodiversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Conservation of threatened species in the Galapagos Marine Reserve through identification and protection of marine key biodiversity areas

TL;DR: The Galapagos Marine Reserve provides refuge for numerous threatened marine species, including 16 mammals, birds, reptiles and fish currently recognized on the 2006 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, plus an additional 25 endemic fish, mollusc, crustacean, echinoderm, coral and macroalgal species that qualify for inclusion on the Red List.
Establishing reference points to assess long-term change in zooxanthellate coral communities of the northern galapagos coral reefs
TL;DR: Given the high level of tourism visitation, restricted range of the coral reef, considerable small scale between-site differences in coral species composition and associated subtidal assemblages, high subtidal species diversity unique to the northerly islands, and strong frequent climatic stress, appropriate additional protective measures are recommended to help conserve the ecosystem function of these key habitat-forming species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of a dominant consumer species reverses at increased diversity
TL;DR: The grazing effects of sea urchins on algal abundance and benthic community structure in a natural subtidal habitat of the Galápagos Islands is investigated and the most species-rich urchin assemblage underyielded, effectively reversing its dominant influence observed in the two-species treatments.
