Investigating the ecological role of sound on coral reefs
… to optimize their choice of settlement habitat. Coral reefs feature particularly complex natural soundscapes, yet little is known about the potential effects of these sounds on coral larvae. Reef soundscapes are also frequently polluted by anthropogenic noise, which can disrupt natural cues and …

Effects ofUltraviolet Radiation on Newly Settled Recruits of the Reef-building Coral <em>Porites astreoide</em>
<p>Coral reefs occur at low latitudes in clear, nutrient poor waters where high intensities of ultraviolet radiation (UVR, 280-400 nm) exist. Several negative effects of UVR have been demonstrated on adult corals, such as reduced calcification and skeletal growth rates, damage to tissue, and …

Ecology of crustose coralline algae; interactions with scleractinian corals and responses to environmental conditions
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are considered a key functional group in coral reef ecosystems. Changes in the abundances of certain CCA species can directly regulate the abundance of other components of reefs, in particular corals, and can therefore result in changes in structure and function of …

Influences of benthic algae on coral settlement and post-settlement survival: implications for the recovery of disturbed and degraded reefs
… algae generally dominate degraded and disturbed coral reefs, however our understanding of how algae influence coral recruitment, a critical process for the recovery of these reefs, is limited. Surveys to compare benthic biota close to versus distant from coral recruits on inshore reefs of the …
