Phase-shifts from one persistent assemblage of species to another have become
increasingly commonplace on coral reefs and in many other ecosystems due to escalating …

Coral reefs are home to a variety of species, and their preservation is a popular study area;
however, monitoring them is a significant challenge, for which the use of robots offers a …

Measurements of δ 15 N of consumers are usually higher than those of their diet. This
general pattern is widely used to make inferences about trophic relationships in ecological …

Aim High‐latitude coral reef communities composed of tropical, subtropical and temperate
species are heralded as climate change refuges for vulnerable tropical coral reef species …

META-ANALYSIS USES SUMMARY STATISTICS like effect sizes to combine information
from multiple studies. Yet a common problem encountered when collecting information for …

Survival of pelagic marine larvae is an important determinant of dispersal potential. Despite
this, few estimates of larval survival are available. For scleractinian corals, few studies of …

Increasing evidence indicates that spatial and temporal patterns in ecological systems are
not independent of the scale of measurement. In this study we used a hierarchical sampling …

The local densities of heterospecifics and conspecifics are known to have profound effects
on the dynamics of many benthic species, including rates of settlement and early post …

Abiotic filtering is a major driver of gradients in the structure and functioning of ecosystems
from the tropics to the poles. It is thus likely that environmental filtering is an important …

In light of the global extent and cascading effect of our impact on the environment, we design
and manage reserves to restore biodiversity and the functioning of ecosystems. Mobile …
