Climate Change, Human Impacts, and the Resilience of Coral Reefs
- T. P. Hughes, A. Baird, +14 authors J. Roughgarden
- Geography, Medicine
- Science
- 15 August 2003
The diversity, frequency, and scale of human impacts on coral reefs are increasing to the extent that reefs are threatened globally. Projected increases in carbon dioxide and temperature over the… Expand
Global warming and recurrent mass bleaching of corals
During 2015–2016, record temperatures triggered a pan-tropical episode of coral bleaching, the third global-scale event since mass bleaching was first documented in the 1980s. Here we examine how and… Expand
Bleaching of corals on the Great Barrier Reef: differential susceptibilities among taxa
- P. Marshall, A. Baird
- Biology
- Coral Reefs
- 27 July 2000
Abstract Large-scale coral bleaching episodes are potentially major disturbances to coral reef systems, yet a definitive picture of variation in assemblage response and species susceptibilities is… Expand
Systematic and Biogeographical Patterns in the Reproductive Biology of Scleractinian Corals
A limited diversity of character states for reproductive traits and a robust phylogeny make scleractinian corals an ideal model organism with which to explore the evolution of life-history traits.… Expand
Patterns of recruitment and abundance of corals along the Great Barrier Reef
Different physical and biological processes prevail at different scales. As a consequence, small-scale experiments or local observations provide limited insights into regional or global phenomena.… Expand
Mortality, growth and reproduction in scleractinian corals following bleaching on the Great barrier Reef
- A. Baird, P. Marshall
- Biology
- 18 July 2002
Despite extensive research into the coral bleaching phenomena there are very few data
which examine the population biology of affected species. These data are required in order to predict
the… Expand
Global warming transforms coral reef assemblages
Global warming is rapidly emerging as a universal threat to ecological integrity and function, highlighting the urgent need for a better understanding of the impact of heat exposure on the resilience… Expand
Contrasting Patterns of Coral Bleaching Susceptibility in 2010 Suggest an Adaptive Response to Thermal Stress
Background Coral bleaching events vary in severity, however, to date, the hierarchy of susceptibility to bleaching among coral taxa has been consistent over a broad geographic range and among… Expand
Declines in the abundance of Chaetodon butterflyfishes following extensive coral depletion
- M. S. Pratchett, S. Wilson, A. Baird
- Biology
- 1 November 2006
This study documented temporal variation in the abundance of butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) at Trunk Reef, on the central Great Barrier Reef, Australia, from May 2000 to March 2005. During this… Expand
Comanagement of coral reef social-ecological systems
- J. Cinner, T. McClanahan, +14 authors John Kuange
- Environmental Science, Medicine
- Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
- 19 March 2012
In an effort to deliver better outcomes for people and the ecosystems they depend on, many governments and civil society groups are engaging natural resource users in collaborative management… Expand
