Around the globe, coral reefs and other marine ecosystems are increasingly overfished. Conventionally, studies of fishing impacts have focused on the population size and dynamics of targeted stocks rather than the broader ecosystem-wide effects of harvesting. Using parrotfishes as an example, we show how coral reef fish populations respond to escalating fishing pressure across the Indian and Pa...

• The study investigated pre-burning condition of pig bones as a proxy for humans. Systematic analysis histotaphonomic features by data labelling application. Most microbial bioerosion are not accurate proxies in determining degree decomposition on burnt bones. Budded MFD might have the potential to be used bones, but further research is needed. Recent studies focused presence thought caused ei...

Coral reef growth is primarily determined by constructive and bioerosive processes acting on key reef-building organisms. Among them, corals are major contributors to the construction of frameworks, while crustose coralline algae (CCA) take part in cementation. Despite significance CCA for ecology functioning, there very little information bioerosion rates, particular reefs influenced coastal u...

The deterioration of many coral reef ecosystems worldwide is a clear example of not only the effects global environmental damage can have on our oceans’ health, but also damage from local sources of pollution. This damage is multi-factorial as are its consequences. Since the 1970’s, mounting evidence has built a convincing argument that human activities are a prominent cause (e.g., coastal urba...
