Journal ArticleDOI
Coral Reefs Under Rapid Climate Change and Ocean Acidification
Ove Hoegh-Guldberg,Peter J. Mumby,Anthony J. Hooten,Robert S. Steneck,Paul F. Greenfield,Edgardo D. Gomez,C. D. Harvell,Peter F. Sale,Alasdair J. Edwards,Ken Caldeira,Nancy Knowlton,C. M. Eakin,Roberto Iglesias-Prieto,Nyawira A. Muthiga,Roger Bradbury,Alfonse M. Dubi,Marea E. Hatziolos +16 more
TL;DR: As the International Year of the Reef 2008 begins, scaled-up management intervention and decisive action on global emissions are required if the loss of coral-dominated ecosystems is to be avoided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Photosynthetic response to elevated temperature in the symbiotic dinoflagellate Symbiodinium microadriaticum in culture
TL;DR: Results indicate that photosynthesis is impaired at temperatures above 30 degrees C and ceases completely at 34-36 degrees C, and possible mechanisms that may function in the disassociation of algal-invertebrate symbioses in response to elevated temperature are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Different algal symbionts explain the vertical distribution of dominant reef corals in the eastern Pacific
Roberto Iglesias-Prieto,V. H. Beltrán,Todd C. LaJeunesse,Héctor Reyes-Bonilla,Patricia E. Thomé +4 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that each coral species hosts a distinct algal taxon adapted to a particular light regime, which constitutes an important axis for niche diversification and is sufficient to explain the vertical distribution patterns of these two coral species.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acclimation and adaptation to irradiance in symbiotic dinoflagellates. I. Responses of the photosynthetic unit to changes in photon flux density
TL;DR: The results suggest that symbiont photo- Adaptation may constitute an important axis of niche diversification for the intact associations and photo-acclunatory adjustment in symbiotic dinoflagellates may be under genetic constraints, and thus may represent photo-adaptation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Avoiding coral reef functional collapse requires local and global action
Emma V. Kennedy,Chris T. Perry,Paul R. Halloran,Paul R. Halloran,Roberto Iglesias-Prieto,Christine H. L. Schönberg,Max Wisshak,Armin U. Form,Juan P. Carricart-Ganivet,Maoz Fine,C. Mark Eakin,Peter J. Mumby,Peter J. Mumby +12 more
TL;DR: Budget reconstructions using documented ecological perturbations drive shallow Caribbean forereefs toward an increasingly fragile carbonate balance and the benefits of local conservation and global action on climate change are contrasted.
