Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Oceans journal is about to launch a Special Issue dedicated to coral reef ecology and biology.

This Special Issue is committed to publishing multidisciplinary papers focused on coral reefs, the most biodiverse and productive type of marine ecosystem. Submitted manuscripts should be original research articles focused across the broad fields of: coral reef science; community ecology; the functional ecology of coral reef and reef organisms; eco-physiological approaches to understanding organism and system responses to local, regional and global changes or stressors; evolution and phylogenetics of coral as a holobiont considering associated reef organisms; coral reef management and policies; and rehabilitation tools for mitigating reef degradation.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.
