Safeguarding nutrients from coral reefs under climate change
The sustainability of coral reef fisheries is jeopardized by complex and interacting socio-
ecological stressors that undermine their contribution to food and nutrition security. Climate …

[HTML][HTML] Corals at the edge of environmental limits: A new conceptual framework to re-define marginal and extreme coral communities
The worldwide decline of coral reefs has renewed interest in coral communities at the edge
of environmental limits because they have the potential to serve as resilience hotspots and …

Coral reefs benefit from reduced land–sea impacts under ocean warming
Coral reef ecosystems are being fundamentally restructured by local human impacts and
climate-driven marine heatwaves that trigger mass coral bleaching and mortality. Reducing …

Benthic composition changes on coral reefs at global scales
Globally, ecosystems are being reconfigured by a range of intensifying human-induced
stressors. Coral reefs are at the forefront of this environmental transformation, and if we are …

Protecting connectivity promotes successful biodiversity and fisheries conservation
The global decline of coral reefs has led to calls for strategies that reconcile biodiversity
conservation and fisheries benefits. Still, considerable gaps in our understanding of the …

Low human interest for the most at-risk reef fishes worldwide
Human interest in biodiversity is essential for effective conservation action but remains
poorly quantified at large scales. Here, we investigated human interest for 2408 marine reef …

Deficits in functional trait diversity following recovery on coral reefs
The disturbance regimes of ecosystems are changing, and prospects for continued recovery
remain unclear. New assemblages with altered species composition may be deficient in key …

Can metabolic traits explain animal community assembly and functioning?
All animals on Earth compete for free energy, which is acquired, assimilated, and ultimately
allocated to growth and reproduction. Competition is strongest within communities of …
