Differential Symbiodiniaceae Association With Coral and Coral-Eroding Sponge in a Bleaching Impacted Marginal Coral Reef Environment
(Frontiers, 2021)
Marginal reefs are known for severe stress-inducible perturbations such as high sedimentation, eutrophication, ocean warming, and acidification from anthropogenic climate change. The corals striving in such stressful ...
Trait-based and taxonomic macrofauna community patterns in the upwelling ecosystem of the southeastern Arabian sea
(Elsevier, 2021)
Coastal upwelling that occurs in the eastern Arabian Sea (EAS) drive the complex dynamics of the food chain. Macrofauna plays a key role in the functioning of coastal ecosystems, but few studies explored the taxonomic and ...
Coral damage by recreational diving activities in a Marine Protected Area of India: Unaccountability leading to 'tragedy of the not so commons'
(Elsevier Ltd, 2020)
Globally, coral reefs have drastically degraded due to local and global environmental stressors. Concurrently, coral reef tourism is rapidly growing in developing economies, which is one of many anthropogenic stressors ...
Reef on the edge: Resilience failure of marginal patch coral reefs in Eastern Arabian Sea under recurrent coral bleaching, coral diseases, and local stressors
(Springer, 2023)
Marked by strong El Nino-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) effects during 2014-2016, global coral reefs underwent mass bleaching.Here, we conducted a comprehensive (2014-2019) study, coinciding with the 2014-16 ENSO, to investigate ...
Application of remotely sensed sea surface temperature for assessment of recurrent coral bleaching (2014-2019) impact on a marginal coral ecosystem
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
The 2014-2016 El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) caused a prolonged marine heatwave that led to widespread coral bleaching and mortality across the Indo-pacific coral reefs.Prediction of coral bleaching and assessment of ...
Records of Sea Slug Fauna (Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) from the shores of Goa, Eastern Arabian Sea
(Springer, 2022)
Heterobranch sea slugs are a group of often vibrantly coloured, shell-less, and soft-bodied molluscs which are also indicators of climate change and a source of natural products.The information on sea slug diversity and ...
Coral reef-associated brachyuran fauna (Crustacea: Decapoda: Brachyura) from Angria Bank off the west coast of India
(Magnolia Press, 2023)
Underwater sampling via SCUBA and grab at the Angria Bank coral reefs off the central west coast of India in January 2014 revealed 11 species of Brachyura. Seven species, namely, Thusaenys irami (Laurie, 1906), Tanaocheles ...
Preliminary observations on the coral reef communities in Angria Bank, an isolated carbonate bank in the Northern Indian Ocean
(Elsevier, 2023)
Submerged carbonate banks are of significant geological and biological importance and relatively little is known about the biodiversity of these deeper and less accessible habitats. This study provides pilot information ...
