A functional perspective on the meaning of the term 'herbivore': patterns versus processes in coral reef fishes
Herbivorous fishes are a key functional group in coral reef ecosystems and have been the
focus of a vast body of research. While substantial progress has been made in research …

Changing disturbance regimes, material legacies, and stabilizing feedbacks: Dead coral skeletons impair key recovery processes following coral bleaching
Ecosystem responses to disturbance depend on the nature of the perturbation and the
ecological legacies left behind, making it critical to understand how climate‐driven changes …

Evaluating the precariousness of coral recovery when coral and macroalgae are alternative basins of attraction
When coral and macroalgae are alternative attractors, the trajectory of the benthic
community following a major disturbance is shaped in part by whether herbivores keep …

Functional diversity in herbivorous fishes on Caribbean reefs: The role of macroalgal traits in driving interspecific differences in feeding behavior
Understanding how functional traits drive plant-herbivore interactions often illuminates the
mechanisms driving niche partitioning and functional diversity in this important guild of …

How do fisher responses to macroalgal overgrowth influence the resilience of coral reefs?
Many coral reefs have shifted from coral‐to macroalgae‐dominated community states,
heightening the need to understand resilience of coral communities. Fishing on herbivores …

Patterns and implications of spatial covariation in herbivore functions on resilience of coral reefs
Persistent shifts to undesired ecological states, such as shifts from coral to macroalgae, are
becoming more common. This highlights the need to understand processes that can help …

Farmerfish gardens help buffer stony corals against marine heat waves
With marine heat waves increasing in intensity and frequency due to climate change, it is
important to understand how thermal disturbances will alter coral reef ecosystems since …

Compounded effects of sea urchin grazing and physical disturbance on macroalgal canopies in the lagoon of Moorea, French Polynesia
Release from herbivory is a factor underpinning coral replacement by macroalgae. Once
macroalgae have achieved dominance, shifts back to the coral-dominated state can be …
