Benefits of biodiverse marine resources to child nutrition in differing developmental contexts in Hispaniola
(2018)
There is an urgent need for an improved empirical understanding of the relationship among biodiverse marine resources, human health and development outcomes. Coral reefs are often at this intersection for developing nations ...
Tropical fish diversity enhances coral reef functioning across multiple scales

The mass mortality of acroporid corals has transformed Caribbean reefs from coral- to macroalgal-dominated habitats since systematic monitoring began in the 1970s. Declines have been attributed to overfishing, pollution, ...
Effects of elevated temperatures and health status of the crustose coralline algae Hydrolithon boergesenii (Corallinales: Mastophoroideae) on the larval settlement of Diploria labyrinthiformis (Scleractinia: Faviinae)
(2022)
Crustose Coralline Algae (CCA) is a well-known settlement inducer for stony corals and, ultimately, recruitment, a vital component for reef growth and resilience. However, potential impacts of diseased CCA on larval ...
