The 27-year decline of coral cover on the Great Barrier Reef and its causesGlenn De'ath
Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville, Qld 4810, Australia
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 109:17995-9. 2012..Such strategies can, however, only be successful if climatic conditions are stabilized, as losses due to bleaching and cyclones will otherwise increase...
The multinomial diversity model: linking Shannon diversity to multiple predictorsGlenn De'ath
Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville, Queensland 4810, Australia
Ecology 93:2286-96. 2012..A weighted version of the Shannon diversity model is proposed in order to extend the MDM to non-Shannon diversities. Two example analyses, based on simulated and field data, illustrate the theoretical concepts and the analytical methods...
Declining coral calcification on the Great Barrier ReefGlenn De'ath
Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville, Queensland 4810, Australia
Science 323:116-9. 2009..The causes of the decline remain unknown; however, this study suggests that increasing temperature stress and a declining saturation state of seawater aragonite may be diminishing the ability of GBR corals to deposit calcium carbonate...
Boosted trees for ecological modeling and predictionGlenn De'ath
Australian Institute of Marine Science, PMB 3, Townsville Mail Centre, Qld 4811, Australia
Ecology 88:243-51. 2007..A software package for ABT analysis using the R software environment is included in the Appendices together with worked examples...
Water quality as a regional driver of coral biodiversity and macroalgae on the Great Barrier ReefGlenn De'ath
Australian Institute of Marine Science, PMB 3, Townsville, Queensland 4810, Australia
Ecol Appl 20:840-50. 2010..Such guidelines may help focus efforts to implement effective pollution reduction and integrated coastal management policies for the GBR and other Indo-Pacific coral reefs...
A bioindicator system for water quality on inshore coral reefs of the Great Barrier ReefKatharina E Fabricius
Australian Institute of Marine Science, PMB No 3, Townsville, Qld 4810, Australia
Mar Pollut Bull 65:320-32. 2012..In combination, this bioindicator system may be used to assess changes in water quality, especially where direct water quality data are unavailable...
Changes in algal, coral and fish assemblages along water quality gradients on the inshore Great Barrier ReefKatharina Fabricius
Australian Institute of Marine Science, PMB No 3, Townsville MC, Qld 4810, Australia
Mar Pollut Bull 51:384-98. 2005..The study identifies species groups that are likely to increase or decrease in abundance with changing water quality...
Effects of the herbicide diuron on the early life history stages of coralAndrew Negri
Australian Institute of Marine Science, PMB 3 Townsville, Qld 4810, Australia
Mar Pollut Bull 51:370-83. 2005..damicornis recruits after a 2 h exposure to 1 microg l(-1) diuron. The dark-adapted quantum yields (F(v)/F(m)) also declined, indicating chronic photoinhibition and damage to photosystem II...
Synergistic effects of diuron and sedimentation on photosynthesis and survival of crustose coralline algaeLindsay Harrington
Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville, Qld 4810, Australia
Mar Pollut Bull 51:415-27. 2005..Our results suggest that sediment deposition and exposure to diuron can negatively affect the photosynthetic activity of CCA, with sedimentation stress being significantly enhanced by the presence of trace concentrations of diuron...
Genetic traces of recent long-distance dispersal in a predominantly self-recruiting coralMadeleine J H van Oppen
Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville MC, Queensland, Australia
PLoS ONE 3:e3401. 2008..Reef corals that brood their larvae internally and release mature larvae are believed to show little exchange of larvae over ecological times scales and are therefore expected to recover extremely slowly from large-scale perturbations...
Does trophic status enhance or reduce the thermal tolerance of scleractinian corals? A review, experiment and conceptual frameworkKatharina E Fabricius
Australian Institute of Marine Science, Townsville, Queensland, Australia
PLoS ONE 8:e54399. 2013..Our study shows that management actions to reduce coastal eutrophication can improve the resistance and resilience of vulnerable coastal coral reefs to warming temperatures...
