Coral reefs in the Eastern Tropical Pacific (ETP) represent a distinctive marginal ecosystem shaped by strong physicochemical gradients, periodic warming events, and biogeographical isolation. A ...

Vermetid reefs are intertidal bioconstructions formed by aggregations of sessile gastropods in the family Vermetidae. These structures create three-dimensional platforms on rocky shores, moderating ...

Coral reefs face serious threats primarily arising from climate change, unsustainable fishing, and pollution. To better understand the underlying processes, a multidisciplinary series of studies is ...

image: Coral reefs are in decline, but their collapse can still be avoided with local and global action. That's according to findings reported in the Cell Press journal Current Biology on May 9 based ...

Coral reefs may seem like paradise, but they are being degraded by a range of global and local factors, including climate change, poor water quality, and overfishing. New research reveals that ...

What events caused the Great Barrier Reef to become what it is today, specifically over the course of the last six to eight thousand years, or just after the last Ice Age? This is what a recent study ...

A NASA airborne mission designed to transform our understanding of Earth’s valuable and ecologically sensitive coral reefs has set up shop in Australia for a two-month investigation of the Great ...

The tiny Pacific nation of the Marshall Islands could avoid being swamped entirely, although it will still suffer profoundly from sea-level rise. Christopher Johnson/Wikimedia Commons It is widely ...
