New 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...
متن کاملEcological Consequences of Sediment on High-Energy Coral Reefs
Sediments are widely accepted as a threat to coral reefs but our understanding of their ecological impacts is limited. Evidence has suggested that benthic sediments bound within the epilithic algal matrix (EAM) suppress reef fish herbivory, a key ecological process maintaining reef resilience. An experimental combination of caging and sediment addition treatments were used to investigate the ef...
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 کاملEcological Health Assessment of the Surface Sediments of the Coral Reefs of Khark and Kharko Islands (Persian Gulf, Iran)
To assess the ecological risk of the coral reef habitats of Khark and Kharko islands in the Persian Gulf, (Bushehr province), the surface sediment samples were collected from seven stations, in September 2019. The islands have a great ecological value due to the presence of coral reefs. The amounts of potentially toxic elements, sediment texture, total organic matter, total phosphorus and total...
متن کاملeffeCts on CorAl reefs
A hurricane (also tropical cyclone, typhoon) is a warm-core, low-pressure system that develops over tropical or subtropical waters. Most hurricanes form from a trough of low-pressure, over ocean surface temperatures greater than 26°C. As air moves across the ocean surface, it extracts moisture (water vapour) and energy (as a result of evaporation) from the ocean. The low pressure draws air inwa...
