Trait-based approaches are revolutionizing our understanding of high-diversity ecosystems by providing insights into the principles underlying key ecological processes, such as community assembly, species distribution, resilience, and the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. In 2016, the Coral Trait Database advanced coral reef science by centralizing trait information for stony corals (i.e.

This study aimed to determine the prevalence, association of sociodemographic and obstetric factors with the types of UI as well as the perceived impact on quality of life of women attending primary health facilities in the Tacna region from Peru.
Methods: A quantitative, non-experimental, correlational, and cross-sectional study was conducted.
Article Synopsis
- Extreme climatic events (ECEs) like marine heatwaves pose serious threats to biodiversity, highlighting the need for understanding ecological responses to these recurring events.
- Researchers used a "multiple events" approach to study the effects of recurrent ECEs on the temperate coral Paramuricea clavata, assessing factors like environmental, genetic, and phenotypic influences over three years.
- Findings indicated that environmental impacts were the primary drivers of coral responses, with limited evidence of genetic adaptability, suggesting that P. clavata populations face significant challenges due to ongoing heat stress and may struggle to recover.
Article Synopsis
- The warming of waters is severely affecting zooxanthellate corals globally, causing high mortality rates and raising concerns, especially for Cladocora caespitosa, the only reef-building coral in the Mediterranean Sea.
- Monitoring efforts have been limited, making it difficult to understand past marine heatwaves (MHWs) and their long-term impacts on coral health.
- Through sclerochronology, researchers examined coral growth patterns and found a correlation between temperature and calcification, but a decline in growth and calcification rates in warmer waters suggests increasing physiological stress due to MHWs.
Mediterranean gorgonians are being threatened by the impact of recurrent extreme climatic events, such as marine heatwaves (MHWs). The white gorgonian Eunicella singularis was suggested to be the most resistant gorgonian species in the NW Mediterranean, mainly due to the presence of symbiotic algae. However, a substantial shift in the conservation condition of the species has been observed in the recent years.
