Long-term demographic studies at biogeographic transition zones can elucidate how body
size mediates disturbance responses. Focusing on subtropical reefs in eastern Australia, we …

Escalating climatic and anthropogenic pressures expose ecosystems worldwide to
increasingly stochastic environments. Yet, our ability to forecast the responses of natural …

Traditionally, mathematical models in ecology placed an emphasis on asymptotic, long-term
dynamics. However, a large number of recent studies highlighted the importance of transient …

As the major form of coral reef regime shift, stony coral to macroalgal transitions have
received considerable attention. In the Caribbean, however, regime shifts in which …

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 …

Potential range expansion of scleractinian corals in high-latitude reefs is critically dependent
on the coral host-symbiont relationship that determines coral growth and survival. Although …

Coral communities are threatened by an increasing plethora of abiotic and biotic
disturbances. Preventing the ensuing loss of coral coverage and diversity calls for a …

Coral reef ecosystems are severely threatened by human activities and climate change.
However, the complexity of the ecosystem can complicate identification of significant …
