Nevertheless, we disagree with these authors on some fundamental points and think their conclusions that “the country categorizations [they] evaluated have serious defects” and that “the IUCN (2001)...
متن کاملWhite Band Disease transmission in the threatened coral, Acropora cervicornis
The global rise in coral diseases has severely impacted coral reef ecosystems, yet often little is known about these diseases, including how they are transmitted. White Band Disease (WBD), for example, has caused unparalleled declines in live Acropora cover, spreading rapidly throughout the Caribbean by unknown means. Here we test four putative modes of WBD transmission to the staghorn coral Ac...
