Abstract: Competitive processes and their outcomes, such as interactions between scleractinian corals and macroalgae, are important drivers of the structure and function of coral reef ecosystems. Human communities can alter the dynamics of coral-algal interactions by… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/srep40118
Abstract: With the increase in sea surface temperature (SST), scleractinian corals are exposed to bleaching threats but may possess certain flexibilities in terms of their associations with symbiotic algae. Previous studies have shown a close symbiosis… read more here.

DOI: 10.7717/peerj.3423
Abstract: Human impacts are causing ecosystem phase shifts from coral- to algal-dominated reef systems on a global scale. As these ecosystems undergo transition, there is an increased incidence of coral-macroalgal interactions. Mounting evidence indicates that the… read more here.
