Greetings--I have a question for list-servers who care to step into this old
debate: I've been surveying much of the back-and-forth debate in the
literature on Crown-of-Thorns starfish (Acanthaster Planci), about whether
its spread was due to anthropogenic causes and whether reefs can recover
from A. planci devastation in a relatively short time (i.e., within a decade
or so). Is there any emerging consensus on these questions or are they still
in the "needs more research" category?
Thanks for any comments.
