  A New Foraminiferal Bioindicator for Long-Term Heat Stress on Coral Reefs

  Published in the Journal of Earth Science   Abstract Coral reefs are in terminal decline. For conservation to be effective, naturally depauperate reefs must be distinguished from those recently degraded by humans. Traditional reef monitoring is time consuming and lacks …
