Evolutionary significance of the microbial assemblages of large benthic Foraminifera.

TL;DR: It is concluded that the microbiome, which includes both algal and bacterial partners, is a key factor influencing the evolution of LBF, and allowed them to become the most important calcifiers on shallow platforms worldwide during periods of ocean warming in the geologic past.

Patterns of species richness and the center of diversity in modern Indo-Pacific larger foraminifera

TL;DR: This work compiled and analyzed extensive occurrence records for 68 validly recognized species of LBF from the Indian and Pacific Ocean, established individual range maps and applied Minimum Convex Polygon and Species Distribution Model methodologies to create the first ocean-wide species richness maps.
Journal ArticleDOI

A generalized light-driven model of community transitions along coral reef depth gradients

TL;DR: A theoretical, process-based model of light’s influence on the shallow to mesophotic reef transition as a single quantitative framework is presented, showing it is possible to use light to predict the depth boundaries of reef zones as a continuous variable, and to accommodate this variability.

Catastrophes, phase shifts, and large-scale degradation of a Caribbean coral reef.

TL;DR: A dramatic phase shift has occurred in Jamaica, producing a system dominated by fleshy macroalgae (more than 90 percent cover), and immediate implementation of management procedures is necessary to avoid further catastrophic damage.

Foraminiferal Genera and Their Classification

TL;DR: Systematic descriptions of family group taxa based on genera of uncertain status and available family-group names used for foraminifera and genera erroneously regarded as foraminifers.

Analysis of variations in ocean color1

TL;DR: The R(λ) values observed for blue waters are in full agreement with computed values in which new and realistic values of the absorption coefficient for pure water are used and presented.

Phase shifts in coral reef communities and their ecological significance

TL;DR: This presentation reviews various models and case studies which suggest that reefs can be knocked precipitously or move slowly from one phase (coral-dominated) to another ( coral-depleted and/or algal dominated) and transitions in the other direction (‘recovery’).
