Interactions between coral restoration and fish assemblages: implications for reef management

MJ Seraphim, KA Sloman, ME Alexander… - Journal of Fish …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Corals create complex reef structures that provide both habitat and food for many fish
species. Because of numerous natural and anthropogenic threats, many coral reefs are …

Relationships between structural complexity, coral traits, and reef fish assemblages

ES Darling, NAJ Graham, FA Januchowski-Hartley… - Coral Reefs, 2017 - Springer
With the ongoing loss of coral cover and the associated flattening of reef architecture,
understanding the links between coral habitat and reef fishes is of critical importance. Here …

The importance of structural complexity in coral reef ecosystems

NAJ Graham, KL Nash - Coral reefs, 2013 - Springer
The importance of structural complexity in coral reefs has come to the fore with the global
degradation of reef condition; however, the limited scale and replication of many studies …

Pelagic subsidies underpin fish productivity on a degraded coral reef

RA Morais, DR Bellwood - Current Biology, 2019 - cell.com
Coral reefs harbor high productivity in nutrient-poor tropical oceans. This exceptional

Increasing ocean temperature reduces the metabolic performance and swimming ability of coral reef damselfishes

JL Johansen, GP Jones - Global Change Biology, 2011 - Wiley Online Library
Tropical coral reef teleosts are exclusively ectotherms and their capacity for physical and
physiological performance is therefore directly influenced by ambient temperature. This …

Trophic innovations fuel reef fish diversification

AC Siqueira, RA Morais, DR Bellwood… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
Reef fishes are an exceptionally speciose vertebrate assemblage, yet the main drivers of
their diversification remain unclear. It has been suggested that Miocene reef rearrangements …
