Article Synopsis
- Coral reefs are experiencing a rapid decline in biodiversity due to climate change and increased disease outbreaks, making it difficult to assess the dynamics of coral diseases in the Maldives.
- A study around Thudufushi Island evaluated four coral diseases over a 12-year period, finding an overall increase in disease prevalence, particularly skeletal eroding band (SEB), which showed the largest rise since the last assessment in 2010.
- The research highlights a significant rise in coral diseases, with a recommendation for a national monitoring protocol to understand and predict future disease trends in the region.
Article Synopsis
- The Mediterranean Sea's biodiversity is suffering from climate change and human activities, especially due to pollution from plastics and emerging contaminants like phthalic acid esters (PAEs) and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
- A study analyzed four anthozoan species for these contaminants using advanced techniques, finding that all specimens had some level of contamination.
- P. axinellae showed the highest contamination levels, suggesting it is more prone to bioaccumulation, while the study emphasizes the need to understand the harmful effects of these pollutants on important marine species.
The bioconcentration of dimethyl phthalate (DMP) diethyl phthalate (DEP) dibutyl phthalate (DBP) butyl benzyl phthalate (BBzP), di-(2-ethy hexyl) phthalates (DEHP), mono-butyl phthalate (MBP), mono-benzyl phthalate (MBzP), mono-(2-ethy hexyl) phthalate (MEHP) in the soft corals Coelogorgia palmosa, Sinularia sp., Sarcophyton glaucum, and Lobophytum sp. was investigated.
