Building coral reef resilience through assisted evolution.
The genetic enhancement of wild animals and plants for characteristics that benefit human populations has been practiced for thousands of years, resulting in impressive improvements in commercially valuable species. Despite these benefits, genetic manipulations are rarely considered for noncommercial purposes, such as conservation and restoration initiatives. Over the last century, humans have ...
متن کاملCoral reef and tropical shallow water soundscapes
Much is known about deep ocean ambient noise, rather less about the more highly structured and variable noise in temperate coastal waters, and rather little about the tropical shallow waters that include coral reefs and the biological diversity these ecosystems support. Interest in shallow water acoustics has been growing over the last decade, and more recently specific interest has bloomed in ...
متن کاملOcean acidification and warming will lower coral reef resilience
Ocean warming and acidification from increasing levels of atmospheric CO2 represent major global threats to coral reefs, and are in many regions exacerbated by local-scale disturbances such as overfishing and nutrient enrichment. Our understanding of global threats and local-scale disturbances on reefs is growing, but their relative contribution to reef resilience and vulnerability in the futur...
متن کاملCoral Reef Resilience, Tipping Points and the Strength of Herbivory
Coral reefs increasingly are undergoing transitions from coral to macroalgal dominance. Although the functional roles of reef herbivores in controlling algae are becoming better understood, identifying possible tipping points in the herbivory-macroalgae relationships has remained a challenge. Assessment of where any coral reef ecosystem lies in relation to the coral-to-macroalgae tipping point ...
متن کاملRising to the challenge of sustaining coral reef resilience.
Phase-shifts from one persistent assemblage of species to another have become increasingly commonplace on coral reefs and in many other ecosystems due to escalating human impacts. Coral reef science, monitoring and global assessments have focused mainly on producing detailed descriptions of reef decline, and continue to pay insufficient attention to the underlying processes causing degradation....
