The ~50% coral-cover loss is from De'ath et al. 2012 (1985-2012, multiple causes), not Hughes et al. 2017 and not bleaching alone 'since 1995'.
Beforeclimate-driven coral bleaching has killed half the Great Barrier Reef's coral cover since 1995 (Hughes et al., 2017)
Aftermultiple stressors including coral bleaching have contributed to the loss of half the Great Barrier Reef's coral cover between 1985 and 2012 (De'ath et al., 2012)
Why: Body text attribution was already correctly fixed to De'ath et al., 2012, but the references list at the end of the article still only listed the Hughes et al. 2017 paper (now an orphaned citation not matched to any claim in the corrected text) and was missing the De'ath et al. 2012 source that the corrected sentence now cites. Added the full De'ath, G., Fabricius, K.E., Sweatman, H., & Puotinen, M. (2012) PNAS reference to the Sources & Further Reading list, alongside the retained (still relevant, still accurate) Hughes et al. 2017 Nature paper on coral bleaching. No issues found in FAQ.
