The Reef Environment Centralized InFormation System (RECIFS) : An integrated geo‐environmental database for coral reef research and conservation

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Motivation: Host to intricate networks of marine species, coral reefs are among the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth. Over the past few decades, major degradations of coral reefs have been observed worldwide, which is largely attributed to the ...

A roadmap to understanding diversity and function of coral reef-associated fungi

Claudia Isabella Pogoreutz

Tropical coral reefs are hotspots of marine productivity, owing to the association of reef-building corals with endosymbiotic algae and metabolically diverse bacterial communities. However, the functional importance of fungi, well-known for their contribut ...

Worldwide analysis of reef surveys sorts coral taxa by associations with recent and past heat stress

Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Coral reefs around the world are under threat from anomalous heat waves that are causing the widespread decline of hard corals. Different coral taxa are known to have different sensitivities to heat, although variation in susceptibilities have also been ob ...

Bioaccessibility of Organic Compounds Associated with Tire Particles Using a Fish In Vitro Digestive Model: Solubilization Kinetics and Effects of Food Coingestion

Kristin Schirmer, Florian Frédéric Vincent Breider, Dominique Grandjean, Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari, Thibault Béranger Masset, Luke Christopher Harris

Tire and road wear particles (TRWP) account for an important part of the polymer particles released into the environment. There are scientific knowledge gaps as to the potential bioaccessibility of chemicals associated with TRWP to aquatic organisms. This ...

Positive interactions between corals and damselfish increase coral resistance to temperature stress

Leïla Ezzat

By the century's end, many tropical seas will reach temperatures exceeding most coral species' thermal tolerance on an annual basis. The persistence of corals in these regions will, therefore, depend on their abilities to tolerate recurrent thermal stress. ...

Nutrient pollution enhances productivity and framework dissolution in algae- but not in coral-dominated reef communities

Nils Rädecker

Ecosystem services provided by coral reefs may be susceptible to the combined effects of benthic species shifts and anthropogenic nutrient pollution, but related field studies are scarce. We thus investigated in situ how dissolved inorganic nutrient enrich ...

Automated flow control of a multi-lane swimming chamber for small fishes indicates species-specific sensitivity to experimental protocols

Paulin Olivier Raison

In fishes, swimming performance is considered an important metric to measure fitness, dispersal and migratory abilities. The swimming performance of individual larval fishes is often integrated into models to make inferences on how environmental parameters ...

Using Modern Conservation Tools for Innovative Management of Coral Reefs: The MANACO Consortium

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Joost, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Coral reefs are under threat and innovative management strategies are urgently required. However, discoveries from innovative fields of coral reef research are rarely transposed in practical conservation actions. This is mainly due to the difficulties in k ...

In situ eutrophication stimulates dinitrogen fixation, denitrification, and productivity in Red Sea coral reefs

Nils Rädecker

Eutrophication (i.e. the increase of [in-]organic nutrients) may affect the functioning of coral reefs, but knowledge about the effects on nitrogen (N) cycling and its relationship to productivity within benthic reef communities is scarce. Thus, we investi ...

Legacy and alternative halogenated flame retardants in Lake Geneva fish

Benoît Jean Dominique Ferrari

Legacy (i.e., polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD)) and alternative halogenated flame retardants (HFRs) were analyzed in 31 whole fish samples from Lake Geneva in 2018. Two fish species, namely, the burbot (Lota lota) a ...

Science, Diplomacy, and the Red Sea's Unique Coral Reef: It's Time for Action

Anders Meibom, Maoz Fine

Rapid ocean warming due to climate change poses a serious risk to the survival of coral reefs. It is estimated that 70-90 percent of all reefs will be severely degraded by mid-century even if the 1.5 degrees C goal of the Paris Climate Agreement is achieve ...

High summer temperatures amplify functional differences between coral‐ and algae‐dominated reef communities

Nils Rädecker

Shifts from coral to algal dominance are expected to increase in tropical coral reefs as a result of anthropogenic disturbances. The consequences for key ecosystem functions such as primary productivity, calcification, and nutrient recycling are poorly und ...

Seascape genomics as a new tool to empower coral reef conservation strategies: an example on north‐western Pacific Acropora digitifera

Stéphane Joost, Estelle Rochat, Oliver Michele Selmoni

Coral reefs are suffering a major decline due to the environmental constraints imposed by climate change. Over the last 20 years, three major coral bleaching events occurred in concomitance with anomalous heatwaves, provoking a severe loss of coral cover w ...

Photic stress on coral reefs in the Maldives: The Amphistegina bleaching index

Arthur Adams

The Amphistegina Bleaching Index (ABI) was applied to three Maldivian reefs in the Rasdhoo and North Ari Atolls in 2018, during normal sea surface temperature conditions. This dataset was then compared with a 2015, pre-coral bleaching study. The results pr ...

Short-Term Thermal Acclimation Modifies the Metabolic Condition of the Coral Holobiont

Anders Meibom, Thomas Krüger, Emma Mary Gibbin, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin

The nutritional symbiosis between coral hosts and photosynthetic dinoflagellates is fundamental to the functioning of coral reefs. Rising seawater temperatures destabilize this relationship, resulting in drastic declines in world-wide coral cover. Thermal ...

Common reef-building coral in the Northern Red Sea resistant to elevated temperature and acidification

Anders Meibom, Stéphane Laurent Escrig, Thomas Krüger, Julia Marie Jeanne Yvonne Bodin, Maria-Evangelia Giovani, Maoz Fine

Coral reefs are currently experiencing substantial ecological impoverishment as a result of anthropogenic stressors, and the majority of reefs are facing immediate risk. Increasing ocean surface temperatures induce frequent coral mass bleaching events—the ...

Collision-Free Pattern Formation

Rachid Guerraoui, Alexandre David Olivier Maurer

Shoals of small fishes can change their collective shape and form a specific pattern. They do so efficiently (in parallel) and without collision. In this paper, we study the analog problem of distributed pattern formation. A set of processes needs to move ...

Intra- and interspecific social challenges modulate the levels of an androgen precursor in a seasonally territorial tropical damselfish

Studies on different vertebrate groups have provided evidence that androgen levels in males increase after competitive social interactions during the breeding season, as postulated by the Challenge Hypothesis. However, social modulation of androgen levels ...

Mechanosensory interactions drive collective behaviour in Drosophila

Dario Floreano, Pavan P Ramdya, Pawel Lichocki

Collective behaviour enhances environmental sensing and decision-making in groups of animals. Experimental and theoretical investigations of schooling fish, flocking birds and human crowds have demonstrated that simple interactions between individuals can ...

Morphology, microstructure, crystallography, and chemistry of distinct CaCO3 deposits formed by early recruits of the scleractinian coral Pocillopora damicornis

Anders Meibom, Duncan Thomas Lindsay Alexander, Jaroslaw Hubert Stolarski, Melany Melissa Gilis

Scleractinian corals begin their biomineralization process shortly after larval settlement with the formation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) structures at the interface between the larval tissues and the substrate. The newly settled larvae exert variable deg ...
