Acropora rudis

  • ... that the Indian Ocean coral Acropora rudis is "endangered" by habitat destruction and its susceptibility to coral bleaching, disease and ocean acidification? Source: " Its threat susceptibility increases the likelihood of being lost within one generation in the future from reefs at a critical stage. Therefore, the estimated habitat degradation and loss of 59% over three generation lengths (30 years) is the best inference of population reduction and meets the threshold for Endangered"
