In a recently published study, we suggest a phenomenon that helps explain how coral reef fisheries can still exist, even when fish populations drop due to overexploitation. Whil...
Did you know that one of the most abundant marine food sources is invisible, like sugar dissolved in a cup of tea? Not many organisms can efficiently feed on dissolved organic m...
A recent paper, published in Nature Sustainability, offers a structured and practical approach to measuring and using the concept of social-ecological resilience. Social-ecologi...
For nearly 40 years, marine zoning has played an important role in managing the Great Barrier Reef (GBR). Given the recent assessment of the outlook for the GBR as very poor, som...
By Maria del Carmen (K-le) Gomez Cabrera In a world-first, scientists have uncovered a way of using ancient environmental DNA to start exploring the past lives of coral reefs. ...
Recreational boating is one of many forms of noise pollution from urban development. Its expansion may have adverse effects on fish communities. Anthropogenic noise messes with ...
By Andrew Baird "It is time to move beyond this simple metric for greater ecological insight." In this week’s Ecology paper we outline a revolutionary new ...
New research suggests the usually social butterflyfish is becoming more of a recluse as the coral reefs it depends on degenerate. Cassandra Thompson is the lead author of a new st...
Exotic, or introduced, species are a threat across the globe. Some are pests that push native species to extinction, while others become useful within their new habitats. Such a co...
Global warming and acidifying oceans are creating an intense competition between coral and algae. New research reveals both are deemed to lose under future climate predictions. ...
With the Anthropocene well and truly upon us and causing rapid shifts in environmental conditions, biologists are striving to understand whether animals and plants can adapt quickl...
New research reveals how deep ocean nutrients keep shallow reef corals nourished in the Indian Ocean. Tropical waters are typically low in nutrients. Yet, their shallow coral ...

Scientists discovered dozens of new coral species on a recent voyage along the length of the Great Barrier Reef. A team of scientists completed a 21-day trip from the Capricorn Bunkers off Gladston
Scientists say a type of algae crucial to the survival of coral reefs may be able to resist the impacts of ocean acidification caused by climate change. In a world-first, the team—including resea
