Coral Translocation as a Method to Restore Impacted Deep-Sea Coral Communities
C. A. Boch,Andrew DeVogelaere,Erica J. Burton,Chad King,Joshua P. Lord,C. Lovera,Steven Y. Litvin,Linda A. Kuhnz,James P. Barry +8 more
TL;DR: Initial results indicate differences in sensitivities to transplanting methods among coral species, but also suggest that repopulation efforts may accelerate the recovery of disturbed DSCSCs.
Downscaling global ocean climate models improves estimates of exposure regimes in coastal environments
Matheus Fagundes,Steven Y. Litvin,Fiorenza Micheli,G. De Leo,C. A. Boch,James P. Barry,Sorush Omidvar,C. B. Woodson +7 more
TL;DR: A 2D implementation of the Regional Ocean Modeling System (ROMS) is developed to downscale global climate predictions across all Representative Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios to smaller spatial scales, in this case the scale of a temperate reef in the northeastern Pacific.
Abalone populations are most sensitive to environmental stress effects on adult individuals
Emilius A. Aalto,James P. Barry,C. A. Boch,Steven Y. Litvin,Fiorenza Micheli,C. B. Woodson,Ga De Leo +6 more
TL;DR: This work examined how negative impacts from stressors associated with climate change, ocean acidification, and pollution can act across multiple life stages to influence long-term population dynamics and decrease resilience to mass mortality events.

Models with environmental drivers offer a plausible mechanism for the rapid spread of infectious disease outbreaks in marine organisms.
Emilius A. Aalto,Kevin D. Lafferty,Susanne H. Sokolow,Richard E. Grewelle,Tal Ben-Horin,C. A. Boch,Peter T. Raimondi,Steven J. Bograd,Elliott L. Hazen,Michael G. Jacox,Fiorenza Micheli,G. A. De Leo +11 more
TL;DR: A coupled oceanographic-epidemiological model is built and three hypotheses on the influence of temperature on disease transmission and pathogenicity are contrasted, which suggests that environmental stress could explain why some marine diseases seem to spread so fast and have region-wide impacts on host populations.
