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

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

Are U.S. coral reefs on the slippery slope to slime

TL;DR: The authors of this paper as discussed by the authors argue that the harmful effects of stressors like overfishing, pollution, poor land-use practices, and global warming are interdependent, and that prompt implementation of proven, practical solutions would lead to both short and long-term benefits.

Global Human Footprint on the Linkage between Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning in Reef Fishes

Camilo Mora, +63 more
- 05 Apr 2011 - 
TL;DR: A global survey of reef fishes shows that the consequences of biodiversity loss are greater than previously anticipated as ecosystem functioning remained unsaturated with the addition of new species.
Journal ArticleDOI

Sibling Species in Montastraea annularis, Coral Bleaching, and the Coral Climate Record

TL;DR: The Caribbean coral Montastraea annularis is shown to consist of at least three sibling species in shallow waters, and the two most commonly studied show highly significant differences in growth rate and oxygen isotopic ratios.
