Ecological limitations to the resilience of coral reefs 3
6 Abstract The decline of coral reefs has been broadly 7 attributed to human stressors being too strong and perva8 sive, whereas biological processes that may render coral 9 reefs fragile have been sparsely considered. Here we 10 review several ecological factors that can limit the ability 11 of coral reefs to withstand disturbance. These include: (1) 12 Many species lack the adaptive capacity ...
متن کاملEcological Studies on Two Amphiprion Species in Maldivian Coral Reefs
Amphiprion clarkii and A. nigripes were found in coral reefs of three different atolls in the Maldives. A. clarkii was associated with five species of host anemones, but A. nigripes was only found in Heteractis magnifica. In few cases, both anemonefishes have utilized the same individual of H. magnifica. There was no significant correlation between the size of the anemones and the number of the...
متن کاملSewage impacts coral reefs at multiple levels of ecological organization.
Against a backdrop of rising sea temperatures and ocean acidification which pose global threats to coral reefs, excess nutrients and turbidity continue to be significant stressors at regional and local scales. Because interventions usually require local data on pollution impacts, we measured ecological responses to sewage discharges in Surin Marine Park, Thailand. Wastewater disposal significan...
متن کاملNew Perspectives on Ecological Mechanisms Affecting Coral Recruitment on Reefs
Coral mortality has increased in recent decades, making coral recruitment more important than ever in sustaining coral reef ecosystems and contributing to their resilience. This review summarizes existing information on ecological factors affecting scleractinian coral recruitment. Successful recruitment requires the survival of coral offspring through sequential life history stages. Larval avai...
