Research gaps of coral ecology in a changing world.
TLDR
The results reinforce the notion that corals are sensitive to anthropogenic changes and reveal the scarcity of information on coral responses to pollution, tourism, overfishing and acidification, particularly in mesophotic ecosystems and in ecoregions outside the Indo-Pacific and Caribbean.About:

Journal ArticleDOI
Why do mesophotic coral ecosystems have to be protected
Marcelo de Oliveira Soares,Marcelo de Oliveira Soares,Sarah Maria Cavalcante Ferreira,Bráulio A. Santos,Joana Boavida,Joana Boavida,Federica Costantini,Sergio Rossi +7 more
TL;DR: It is highlighted that many MCEs worldwide are threatened and not yet adequately protected by fishery regulations, marine protected areas, or considered in marine spatial planning.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impacts of a changing environment on marginal coral reefs in the Tropical Southwestern Atlantic

Leão,Igor C. S. Cruz,Pedro Bastos de Macedo Carneiro,Lorenzo Alvarez-Filip +15 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the known effects of multiple pressures on the Brazilian reefs and argue that it is essential to alleviate the main local and regional human impacts and to adopt resilient-based management strategies at local and global scales to protect the low functional redundancy and higher endemism of these unique marginal coral reefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic review and meta-analysis of 50 years of coral disease research visualized through the scope of network theory.
TL;DR: The overall trend is for most coral diseases to be understood under a limited range of approaches, e.g., bacterial assemblages have been considerably studied in Yellow and Black band diseases while immune response has been better examined for the aspergillosis-Gorgonia system.

Deep reefs are not refugium for shallow-water fish communities in the southwestern Atlantic.
Aline P. M. Medeiros,Beatrice Padovani Ferreira,Fredy Alvarado,Ricardo Betancur-R.,Ricardo Betancur-R.,Marcelo de Oliveira Soares,Marcelo de Oliveira Soares,Bráulio A. Santos +7 more
TL;DR: Although some results support the deep reef refugia hypothesis, most indicate that the shallow‐water reef fish diversity is not fully encapsulated in deep reefs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Monitoring tourists’ specialisation and implementing adaptive governance is necessary to avoid failure of the wildlife tourism commons
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors use an individual-based model to simulate the dynamics of a WT destination in different development phases and then ask if any of the governance structures commonly proposed to solve common pool resource issues are appropriate to sustainably manage a wildlife tourism destination during its development.

Journal ArticleDOI
Historical overfishing and the recent collapse of coastal ecosystems.
Jeremy B. C. Jackson,Jeremy B. C. Jackson,Michael Xavier Kirby,Wolfgang H Berger,Karen A. Bjorndal,Louis W. Botsford,Bruce J. Bourque,Roger Bradbury,Richard G. Cooke,Jon M. Erlandson,James A. Estes,Terry P. Hughes,Susan M. Kidwell,Carina B. Lange,Hunter S. Lenihan,John M. Pandolfi,Charles H. Peterson,Robert S. Steneck,Mia J. Tegner,Robert R. Warner +19 more
TL;DR: Paleoecological, archaeological, and historical data show that time lags of decades to centuries occurred between the onset of overfishing and consequent changes in ecological communities, because unfished species of similar trophic level assumed the ecological roles of over-fished species until they too were overfished or died of epidemic diseases related to overcrowding as mentioned in this paper.

Coral Reefs Under Rapid Climate Change and Ocean Acidification

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.

TL;DR: 13 models of the ocean–carbon cycle are used to assess calcium carbonate saturation under the IS92a ‘business-as-usual’ scenario for future emissions of anthropogenic carbon dioxide and indicate that conditions detrimental to high-latitude ecosystems could develop within decades, not centuries as suggested previously.

The oceanic sink for anthropogenic CO2.

TL;DR: Using inorganic carbon measurements from an international survey effort in the 1990s and a tracer-based separation technique, the authors estimate a global oceanic anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) sink for the period from 1800 to 1994 of 118 19 petagrams of carbon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oceanography: anthropogenic carbon and ocean pH.
Ken Caldeira,M. Wickett +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that oceanic absorption of CO2 from fossil fuels may result in larger pH changes over the next several centuries than any inferred from the geological record of the past 300 million years.
