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.
Book ChapterDOI
White-band disease and the changing face of Caribbean coral reefs
TL;DR: Paleontological data suggest that the regional Acropora kill is without precedent in the late Holocene, and evidence from other parts of the Caribbean supports the hypothesis of continuous Holocene accumulation and recent mass mortality of Acroporas spp.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Climate Change and Invasibility of the Antarctic Benthos
Richard B. Aronson,Sven Thatje,Andrew Clarke,Lloyd S. Peck,Daniel B. Blake,Cheryl D. Wilga,Brad A. Seibel +6 more
TL;DR: As sea temperatures continue to rise, the invasion of durophagous predators will modernize the shelf benthos and erode the indigenous character of marine life in Antarctica.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Five major unsolved problems and priorities for future research for managing disease in the world's oceans are identified: detecting origins and reservoirs for marine diseases and tracing the flow of some new pathogens from land to sea.
