Coral reef ecosystem functions in a human-dominated world

The paper quantifies global coral reef ecosystem functions using metabolic models and surveys, revealing a continuous functional spectrum influenced by climate and human factors.

Genomic signatures of coral adaptation and recovery following a mass mortality event

This study examines how coral genomes adapt and recover after a mass mortality event, showing host genetics influences survival and that allele frequency shifts are habitat-specific.

Terrigenous inputs link nutrient dynamics to microbial communities in a tropical lagoon

This study links terrigenous nutrient inputs to microbial community structure and nutrient dynamics in tropical lagoons through analysis of macroalgal nitrogen content and water chemistry.
