The paper develops C[~]scape, a metacommunity model for coral reefs that incorporates within-reef variability to improve predictions of coral cover dynamics.

This study estimates the germline mutation rate in crown-of-thorns sea stars and finds it is higher than in other invertebrates, with low effective population size and weak population size effects on genetic diversity.

The paper evaluates cumulative impacts on the Great Barrier Reef by simulating coral demographics and stressor effects across 2,300 km of reef, finding coral cover declined by one third from 2008-2020 with bleaching as the primary driver.
