The Achilles heel of coral growth is high temperatures, not ocean acidification, according to researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and The Universit...
A new study has ingeniously reconstructed a 103-year record of the Queensland east coast Spanish Mackerel spawning fishery, and revealed that catch rates have declined by 70 per ce...
Scientists have discovered that a fish species has evolved highly specialised self-lubricating lips to help them feed from razor-sharp corals. Professor David Bellwood, from the...
The future of the world’s coral reefs hangs in the balance, but it is not too late to save them, according to a major study published today in the prestigious journal, Nature. ...
Coral larvae depend on their parents to create nooks and crannies for them so that they can stay, settle and re-establish after a reef has been damaged, according to new findings p...
For the second time in just 12 months, scientists have recorded severe coral bleaching across huge tracts of the Great Barrier Reef after completing aerial surveys along its entire...
Researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies (Coral CoE) have discovered that coralline algae, critical for the formation and maintenance of coral reefs, is...
A widespread lack of funds and personnel are preventing marine protected areas from reaching their full potential, reveals a new global study involving researchers from the ARC Cen...
Coral researchers are remobilising to conduct aerial and underwater surveys along the Great Barrier Reef and elsewhere in Australia as coral bleaching reappears for the second year...
A new study argues we should not count on deep coral reefs as a “lifeline” for shallow reefs. Often highlighted as important ecological refuges, deep sections of coral reefs...
Deadly cone snails are too clumsy to catch their prey when exposed to the levels of ocean acidification expected under predicted climate change, according to new research published...
Baby reef fish have an internal magnetic ‘compass’ that directs them home at night, world-first research has revealed. Professor Mike Kingsford from the ARC Centre of Excell...
The prestigious science journal, Nature, has named Australian professor, Terry Hughes, as one of the elite list of ‘top ten people who mattered’ in the world this year, for his...
Scientists have confirmed the largest die-off of corals ever recorded on Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. The worst affected area, a 700 km swath of reefs in the northern ...
Climate change is affecting most life on Earth, despite an average global temperature increase of just 1°C, say leading international scientists in a study published today in Scie...

Abstract. Coral reefs are some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet and are extremely important ecologically, economically, socially and scientifically. Spurs and grooves are a common feat
Abstract. Conservation problems are inherently complex with effective solutions dependent on the ability to integrate and apply diverse concepts, approaches, and tools. Here, I describe how we have us
Abstract. The finance sector has been attracting significant attention in the media lately for their support, or lack thereof, for projects that are expected to exacerbate the problem of climate chang
Abstract. In response to domination of social impact analyses by economists, a model was developed which was originally referred to as a “non-economic social impact analysis” model, or NESIA. Re
Abstract. Mass mortality of several mollusc species occurs regularly in the summer months in natural and cultured environments worldwide. Termed ‘summer mortality,’ this condition is known to im
Abstract. Shallow-water seascapes are composed of a mosaic of different habitats (e.g. coral reef, seagrass beds, mangroves, macroalgae beds). Many reef-associated fishes use multiple habitat patches
Abstract. The outstanding diversity of flora and fauna of the Indo-Australian Archipelago has captivated the interest of scientists. This region contains the most diverse coral marine ecosystems for a
Abstract. Unprecedented ocean temperatures caused by global warming are leading to mass bleaching events worldwide. Technological interventions have been hypothesised as a means of potentially mitigat
