Caribbean corals in crisis: record thermal stress, bleaching, and mortality in 2005.

C. Mark Eakin, +70 more
- 15 Nov 2010 - 
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

Coral disease following massive bleaching in 2005 causes 60% decline in coral cover on reefs in the US Virgin Islands

TL;DR: In the northeast Caribbean, doldrum-like conditions combined with elevated water temperatures in the summer/fall 2005 created the most severe coral bleaching event ever documented within this region and highlights the need to understand links between coral Bleaching and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

Bleaching increases likelihood of disease on Acropora palmata (Lamarck) in Hawksnest Bay, St John, US Virgin Islands

TL;DR: Both bleached and unbleached colonies showed a positive relationship between disease prevalence and temperature in 2005, but the average area of disease-associated mortality increased only for bleached corals, indicating host susceptibility, rather than temperature per se, influenced disease severity on A. palmata.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coral bleaching and disease combine to cause extensive mortality on reefs in US Virgin Islands

TL;DR: While coral mortality from bleaching events has been well documented, this study shows that only with frequent monitoring would these post-bleaching mortality patterns and presence of pathogenic disease be detected.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spatial Epidemiology of the Stony-Coral-Tissue-Loss Disease in Florida

TL;DR: In this paper, the epizootiology of the stony-coral-tissue-loss disease at multiple spatial and temporal scales along the Florida reef tract from May 2014 to December 2017 was investigated.
