    • CARICOMP : Caribbean coral reef, seagrass and mangrove sites 

      Kjerfve, Björn (ed.) (1998)
      In publishing CARICOMP - Caribbean Coral Reef, Seagrass and Mangrove Sites, UNESCO's intent is to draw attention to a network which has been successful in monitoring the state of these three critical coastal ecosystems. ...
    • A century of warming on Caribbean reefs 

      Bove, Colleen B.; Mudge, Laura; Bruno, John F. (2022)
      Caribbean coral reefs have been warming for over a century, with regional warming starting in 1915 and accelerating since the 1980s. Using three ocean temperature databases, researchers found an average warming rate of ...
    • Thresholds in Caribbean coral reefs : implications for ecosystem-based fishery management 

      Karr, Kendra A.; Fujita, Rod; Halpern, Benjamin S.; Kappel, Carrie V.; Crowder, Larry; Selkoe, Kimberly A.; Alcolado, Pedro M.; Rader, Doug (2014)
      This article describes how ecosystem-based fishery management can preserve coral reefs by preventing transitions to degraded states. Analyzing 2,001 Caribbean reefs, researchers identified nonlinear thresholds in total ...
    • Regional spatio-temporal trends in Caribbean coral reef benthic communities 

      Schutte, Virginia G. W.; Selig, Elizabeth R.; Bruno, John F. (2010)
      Caribbean coral cover has declined sharply, with the biggest drop in 1980–1981 during the Acropora white band disease outbreak. Since 1982, coral cover has remained relatively stable. Macroalgal cover peaked in 1986 after ...
    • Island biogeography of Caribbean coral reef fish 

      Sandin, Stuart A.; Vermeij, Mark J. A.; Hurlbert, Allen H. (2008)
      This study tested biogeographical predictions for reef fish assemblages in the Caribbean, focusing on the relationships between fish species richness and island area, isolation, and oceanographic variables. Data from 24 ...
