Long-Term Region-Wide Declines in Caribbean Corals
Toby A. Gardner,Toby A. Gardner,Isabelle M. Côté,Jennifer A. Gill,Jennifer A. Gill,Alastair Grant,Andrew R. Watkinson,Andrew R. Watkinson +7 more
TL;DR: Although the rate of coral loss has slowed in the past decade compared to the 1980s, significant declines are persisting and the ability of Caribbean coral reefs to cope with future local and global environmental change may be irretrievably compromised.
Journal ArticleDOI
Flattening of Caribbean coral reefs: region-wide declines in architectural complexity
Lorenzo Alvarez-Filip,Nicholas K. Dulvy,Jennifer A. Gill,Jennifer A. Gill,Isabelle M. Côté,Andrew R. Watkinson +5 more
TL;DR: This work provides the first region-wide analysis of changes in reef architectural complexity, using nearly 500 surveys across 200 reefs, between 1969 and 2008, and suggests regional-scale degradation and homogenization of reef structure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantifying the evidence for ecological synergies
TL;DR: It is found that, on average, mortalities from the combined action of two stressors were not synergistic and this result was consistent across studies investigating different stressors, study organisms and life-history stages, suggesting that ecological surprises may be more common than simple additive effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Interactions among ecosystem stressors and their importance in conservation.
TL;DR: It is found that synergies are (still) not the most prevalent type of interaction, and that conservation practitioners need to appreciate and manage for all interaction outcomes, including antagonistic and additive effects.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: 100 scientific questions that, if answered, would have the greatest impact on conservation practice and policy are identified and are expected to help identify new directions for researchers and assist funders in directing funds.
