Coral morphology portrays the spatial distribution and population size-structure along a 5–100 m depth gradient
Population size structure provides information on demographic characteristics, such as
growth and decline, enabling post-hoc assessment of spatial differences in susceptibility to …

Linking population size structure, heat stress and bleaching responses in a subtropical endemic coral
Anthropocene coral reefs are faced with increasingly severe marine heatwaves and mass
coral bleaching mortality events. The ensuing demographic changes to coral assemblages …

Differential establishment potential of species predicts a shift in coral assemblage structure across a biogeographic barrier
Biogeographic breaks are locations where multiple species reach range limits
simultaneously. Numerous breaks have been identified; however, the mechanisms that …

Demographic recovery of corals at a wave-exposed reef following catastrophic disturbance
Rapid recovery of coral cover following acute disturbance has been documented on many
reefs. Yet measuring coverage alone can mask shifts in community and demographic …

Taxa‐dependent temporal trends in the abundance and size of sea urchins in subtropical eastern Australia
Subtropical reefs host a dynamic mix of tropical, subtropical, and temperate species that is
changing due to shifts in the abundance and distribution of species in response to ocean …
