Coral spat survival on inshore reefs is enhanced by foul-release-coated seeding devices

Abstract Near shore coral reefs are increasingly characterised by high macroalgal biomass, elevated sedimentation and eutrophication, all of which limit coral recruitment and restoration success. Managing early life-stage bottlenecks is therefore critical for effective larval-bas...

Metagenomic insights into mechanisms of coral larval settlement induction and inhibition by marine biofilms

Abstract Background Biofilms are essential to larval settlement in many marine invertebrates, yet the mechanisms driving settlement induction or inhibition in corals remain poorly resolved. This challenge lies in the vast taxonomic and functional diversity of marine biofilms, mak...
