The study stresses the need for data-driven monitoring of reef conditions. Tools like coral colony volume assessments, ...

Their efforts in coral rehabilitation, particularly with Acropora cervicornis, have led to the establishment of thriving coral nurseries, contributing to the restoration of local reefs.

Coral diseases, particularly in the Caribbean, have caused major declines in coral populations, especially affecting staghorn (Acropora cervicornis) and Elkhorn (A. palmata) corals, which play a ...

Genotypes of Acropora cervicornis in Florida show resistance to either elevated nutrients or disease, but not both in combination. PLOS ONE , 2025; 20 (3): e0320378 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone ...

The scientists found extreme heat killed nearly 80 percent of the approximately 1,500 staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis), which provide critical habitat for a host of other marine life.

Two examples include the Staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) and Elkhorn coral (Acropora palmata), two critically endangered species in the Caribbean that have experienced significant declines ...

“Preliminary data indicate that less than 22% of approximately 1,500 staghorn coral (Acropora cervicornis) surveyed remain alive,” the scientists reported. This snapshot of coral health ...
