A century of warming on Caribbean reefs
(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
(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
(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
(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 ... -
Status of coral reefs in the Northern Caribbean and Western Atlantic GCRMN Node in 2008
(2008)The Node is a mix of islands, some with well-developed economies like Bermuda, Cayman Islands, and Turks and Caicos, where reef conservation is strong or improving, and others with developing or extremely poor economies ...
