Abstract

Without drastic efforts to reduce carbon emissions and mitigate globalized stressors, Tropical coral reefs are in jeopardy due to high levels of carbon emissions and other global stressors. In order to strategically manage to ensure global persistence of this ecosystem, we need to identify environme...

In order to strategically manage to ensure global persistence of this ecosystem, we need to identify environmental and socioeconomic factors that support the foundation species of coral reef ecosystems. Here, we compiled coral abundance data from 2,584 Indo-Pacific reefs and evaluated patterns of 21 climate, social and environmental drivers on the ecology of reef coral assemblages.

By both identifying the key dimensions of function and threats across multiple spatial scales, our findings can guide management and strategic policy priorities to aid in sustaining a network of functioning reefs in the Indo-Pacific.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>Nature Ecology &amp; Evolution</journal><volume>3</volume><journalNumber>9</journalNumber><paginationStart>1341</paginationStart><paginationEnd>1350</paginationEnd><publisher>Springer Science and Business Media LLC</publisher><placeOfPublication/><isbnPrint/><isbnElectronic/><issnPrint/><issnElectronic>2397-334X</issnElectronic><keywords/><publishedDay>1</publishedDay><publishedMonth>9</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2019</publishedYear><publishedDate>2019-09-01</publishedDate><doi>10.1038/s41559-019-0953-8</doi><url/><notes/><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Biosciences</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>SBI</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><lastEdited>2020-11-12T17:32:40.8275340</lastEdited><Created>2019-08-22T14:21:59.3852316</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Biosciences, Geography and Physics - Biosciences</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Emily S.</firstname><surname>Darling</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Tim R.</firstname><surname>McClanahan</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Joseph</firstname><surname>Maina</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Georgina G.</firstname><surname>Gurney</surname><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Nicholas A.
