| Popis: | Tissue degradation and mediated mortality have turned into a major threat to coral reef systems around the world. Detailed knowledge on interactions of prime biological factors that mediate tissue loss and mortality is of paramount importance in understanding the prevailing reef health scenario and to trial management actions. In the present study, a series of benthic surveys were conducted in Lakshadweep islands to understand the interactions of plausible biological factors in causing tissue loss and mediated mortality. Interactions of biological scenarios were prioritized using hierarchical regression analysis. The hierarchical regression model analysis revealed black band disease (β = 0.59; p |
