The differential effects of increasing frequency and magnitude of extreme events on coral populations

ECOLOGICAL APPLICATIONS, 25(6), 1534–1545.

By: N. Fabina *, M. Baskett & K. Gross n

author keywords: alternative stable states; climate change; coral bleaching; ecological projection; global sensitivity analysis; population dynamics; random forests; species distribution model; Symbiodinium
MeSH headings : Animal Distribution; Animals; Anthozoa / physiology; Climate Change; Coral Reefs; Environmental Monitoring; Models, Biological; Stochastic Processes
TL;DR: It is predicted that future reef projections and conservation targets depend on both local bleaching regimes and biodiversity, and management efforts may need to prioritize protection of "weaker" corals with high adult mortality when bleaching is mild, and protection of 'stronger' coralsWith high bleaching resistance whenBleaching is severe.
