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

A review of the status of Philippine reefs

TL;DR: The status of Philippine reefs has been periodically updated while conditions of the reefs during the early surveys were assessed in terms of live coral cover per se, the "coral mortality index" was applied to the sets of data collected during the past 7 yr which may be a better gauge in determining the health of reefs.

Cleaning up the 'Bigmessidae': Molecular phylogeny of scleractinian corals from Faviidae, Merulinidae, Pectiniidae and Trachyphylliidae

TL;DR: A robust molecular phylogeny of 'Bigmessidae' is presented based on the combined five-gene data, achieving a higher degree of resolution compared to previous analyses and supporting the assertion that diversity estimates of scleractinian corals are erroneous.
