In coral reefs throughout the world, visually striking bands of bare sand surrounding reefs are often visible in satellite imagery but their cause remains a mystery. One theory is fear. Parrotfish and ...
Combining an innovative approach developed for medical sciences mathematicians and marine ecologists have identified new coral recovery patterns in the Great Barrier Reef, providing critical ...
Why some reefs recover faster than others—mathematical model spotlights coral recruitment patterns
Climate-driven disturbances such as marine heat waves are rapidly reducing coral cover and degrading reef ecosystems worldwide. Using a mathematical model, a research team led by Subhendu Chakraborty ...
Reference maps of key areas mentioned in this study. Panel (a) shows the ERA5 bathymetric map of the GBR region, while panel (b) shows the Australian domain. Davies Reef is denoted by the pale yellow ...
Visual signals, such as color patterns are an important communication medium for anemonefish. Researchers from Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology have recently elucidated how the patterns on ...
Introduction : coral bleaching--patterns, processes, causes and consequences / J.M. Lough and M.J.H. van Oppen -- The evolution of the coral-algal symbiosis / G.D. Stanley Jr. and B. van de ...
A new study links grazing halo patterns in coral reefs, as well as those in other patchy habitats, to the spatial patterns of the shelter habitat itself. The researchers found that grazing halos are ...
Grazing halos at Heron Island, Australia, are distinct where coral are clustered (outlined with a white box) but merge where coral are dispersed (outlined with a black box). In coral reefs throughout ...
