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
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
Evaluating life‐history strategies of reef corals from species traits
TL;DR: This work identifies up to four life-history strategies that appear globally consistent across 143 species of reef corals: competitive, weedy, stress-tolerant and generalist taxa, which are primarily separated by colony morphology, growth rate and reproductive mode.
Journal ArticleDOI
Loss of coral reef growth capacity to track future increases in sea level

TL;DR: The vertical growth potential of more than 200 tropical western Atlantic and Indian Ocean reefs is calculated and compared against recent and projected rates of SLR under different Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios to show that few reefs will have the capacity to track sea-level rise projections under Representative concentration pathway scenarios without sustained ecological recovery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Shifts in coral-assemblage composition do not ensure persistence of reef functionality.
Lorenzo Alvarez-Filip,Juan P. Carricart-Ganivet,Guillermo Horta-Puga,Roberto Iglesias-Prieto +3 more
TL;DR: It is shown that shifting coral assemblages result in rapid losses in coral-community calcification and reef rugosity that are independent of changes in the total abundance of reef corals, considerably higher than those recently attributed to climate change.
