An emerging coral disease outbreak decimated Caribbean coral populations and reshaped reef functionality

2021-11-04

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p>Diseases are major drivers of the deterioration of coral reefs, linked to major declines in coral abundance, reef functionality, and reef-related ecosystems services1-3. An outbreak of a new disease is currently rampaging through the populations of the remaining reef-building corals across the Caribbean region. The outbreak was first reported in Florida in 2014 and reached the northern...
