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
Towards a phylogenetic classification of reef corals: the Indo‐Pacific genera Merulina, Goniastrea and Scapophyllia (Scleractinia, Merulinidae)
Danwei Huang,Danwei Huang,Danwei Huang,Francesca Benzoni,Roberto Arrigoni,Andrew H. Baird,Michael L. Berumen,Jessica Bouwmeester,Loke Ming Chou,Hironobu Fukami,Wilfredo Y. Licuanan,Edward R. Lovell,Rudolf Meier,Peter A. Todd,Ann F. Budd +14 more
TL;DR: Molecular and morphological evidence indicates that the monotypic genus Paraclavarina is nested within Merulina, and the former is therefore synonymised, and a novel lineage composed of three species previously placed in Favites and Goniastrea is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Coral reefs as buffers during the 2009 South Pacific tsunami, Upolu Island, Samoa
Brian G. McAdoo,Joyce Samuelu Ah-Leong,Lui Bell,Pulea Ifopo,Juney Ward,Edward R. Lovell,Posa Skelton +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an interdisciplinary survey team was formed to understand the complex interactions between the onshore human population and the offshore coral, and the effects of the 29 September 2009 tsunami had on the nearshore coral reef, and how these changes might affect local inhabitants.
Book ChapterDOI
Fiji: Coastal and Marine Ecosystems
Sangeeta Mangubhai,H.R. Sykes,Edward R. Lovell,Gilianne D. Brodie,Stacy D. Jupiter,Cherie W. Morris,Steven Lee,Epeli Loganimoce,Bindiya Rashni,Ronal Lal,Yashika Nand,Ingrid Qauqau +11 more
TL;DR: Fiji is one of the most developed of the Pacific Island economies and its people are highly dependent on the country's rich biodiversity and natural resources for food, agriculture, tourism, culture, coastal protection, shelter, recreational sports, and other vital human needs.
A cause for optimism: identification of threats and resiliency on Pacific reefs through establishment of a long term reef monitoring network in Fiji: the Fiji Coral Reef Monitoring Network (FCRMN)
H.R. Sykes,Edward R. Lovell +1 more
TL;DR: Fiji Coral Reef Monitoring Network (FCRMN) is a node of GCRMN as mentioned in this paper, which monitors reefs across the Fiji Islands for nine years, including mass temperature-related coral bleaching events, cyclones and Crown-of-thorns seastar(COTS) outbreaks.
