Abstract:

Trait-based approaches are emerging in various fields of ecology, and are here developed for coral reefs. ‘Traits’ means biological characteristics of each species; thus closely related species may have different traits and distantly related species may share common traits. This promotes understanding of a system better than using species alone. Chapter One summarizes existing methods, mostly from plant ecology, explores their utility for corals, and an extensive review then extracts candidate Scleractinian traits (Chapter Two). A dataset of 26 key traits from 231 species from Southwest Madaga

Abstract:

Coral reefs are the most biodiverse ecosystems of the ocean and they provide notable ecosystem services. Nowadays, they are facing a number of local anthropogenic threats and environmental change is threatening their survivorship on a global scale. Large-scale monitoring is necessary to understand environmental changes and to perform useful conservation measurements. Governmental agencies are often underfunded and are not able of sustain the necessary spatial and temporal large-scale monitoring. To overcome the economic constrains, in some cases scientists can engage volunteers in environmenta

Abstract:

There is a requirement for effective, worldwide monitoring of the health of coral reef systems, in particular the coral bleaching phenomenon. The transient nature of bleaching events, the extent and remoteness of tropical reefs, and the complex nature of the light field in submerged coral reef environments, requires novel and sophisticated remote sensing-based detection and monitoring approaches. An objective, physics-based approach (SAMBUCA) was developed for retrieving water column concentrations, bathymetry, and bottom substrate composition from remote sensing data on a per-pixel basis.

Abstract:

Xestospongia muta, the giant barrel sponge, is a key component of coral reef benthic communities in Southeast Florida and the Caribbean. Xestospongia muta increases habitat complexity and stability, and filters large volumes of water, enhancing water quality and facilitating nutrient cycling. Therefore, it is important to investigate trends in the X. muta population on Southeast Florida reefs in response to anthropogenic stressors, changing environmental conditions and acute disturbances and how these events affect its ecological role in the benthic community. This study identified trends in X

Les récifs coralliens sont l’écosystème marin le plus complexe, mais aussi le plus menacé par les perturbations croissantes liées aux activités anthropiques. Leur conservation représente un véritable défi. Alors que le maintien des récifs au plus proche de leurs configurations et dynamiques actuelles doit être privilégié, nous devons également nous préparer à une évolution rapide de leur fonctionnement et adapter réseaux et outils de suivis à cette nouvelle situation. Des avancées technologiques récentes ont permis l’émergence d’outils innovants qui pourraient permettre à court terme d’augment

Coral reefs around the world are threatened by a variety of sources, from localized impacts, including overfishing and coastal development, to global temperature increases and ocean acidification. Conserving these marine biodiversity havens requires both global and local action informed by scientific research. In this thesis, I use data collected from the coral reefs around Kiritimati atoll (Republic of Kiribati) in the central equatorial Pacific, first to assess the applicability of two common metrics used in passive underwater acoustic research, and second to examine the effects of a marine

This vehicle was developed to aid coral reef researchers in collecting underwater spectroscopic data for the purpose of monitoring coral reef health. It is designed with an on-board integrated sensor system to support both automated navigation in close proximity to reefs and environmental observation. Additionally, the vehicle can serve as a testbed for future research in the realm of programming for auto

Abstract:

Long-term coral reef monitoring programs have been established and used efficiently in many parts of the world to assess the state of coral reefs under increasing anthropogenic pressures and natural disturbances, as well as to evaluate the efficiency of established marine protected areas (MPAs) or other conservation strategies. Over the past decade, Red Sea coral reefs have experienced two major bleaching events in 2010 and five years later, in 2015/2016, with severe coral loss along the central and southern Saudi Arabian coast. With this study we present the first characterization of fi

Abstract:

A 3-dimensional individual-based model, the ReefModel, was developed to simulate the interaction among six functional groups of coral reef organisms (tabular coral, foliaceous coral, massive coral, macroalga, corallivorous gastropod and herbivorous fish) using an object-oriented technique. The simulation results suggest that (i) fast-growing habit with overtopping competitive mechanism is effective for corals to gain dominance in a stable coral community; (ii) the integration of physical disturbance and the differential responses of corals play an important role in structuring coral communitie

This thesis is divided into two chapters; each is a stand-alone paper. The first chapter provides a review of soundscape ecology, ambient sound, current recording methods and data analysis used in PAM studies, and identifies several major future recommendations for the field.

Abstract:

Climate change is now widely regarded as the single greatest threat to coral reefs. Climate change poses a range of different threats and reef ecosystems are widely reported as being amongst the first ecosystems to be severely affected by increases in global average temperatures. Coral reef managers responding effectively to the climate change threat will require research and monitoring, communication, impact mitigation and informed planning. Aspects of this thesis cover all of those working areas.

Abstract:

<div>Biodiversity loss is the silent crisis of the 21st century. Human activities are drastically altering the diversity of life on Earth, yet the extent of this transformation is shrouded by our limited information on biodiversity and how it is changing. Emerging technologies may be suited to fill this information gap, and as a result increase our capacity to measure and manage natural systems. Acoustic monitoring is a remote sensing technique that is rapidly reshaping the temporal and spatial scales with which we can assess animal biodiversity. Through recording and analyzing soundscapes—the
