Sharks are considered the apex predator of coral reefs, but the consequences of their global
depletion are uncertain. Here we explore the ecological roles of sharks on coral reefs and …

We review and develop conceptual models for the bio-transfer of ciguatoxins in food chains
for Platypus Bay and the Great Barrier Reef on the east coast of Australia. Platypus Bay is …

With marine biodiversity declining globally at accelerating rates, maximising the
effectiveness of conservation has become a key goal for local, national and international …

Apex predators often have strong top-down effects on ecosystem components and are
therefore a priority for conservation and management. Due to their large size and …

An influential paradigm in coral reef ecology is that fishing causes trophic cascades through
reef fish assemblages, resulting in reduced herbivory and thus benthic phase shifts from …

Ecosystem processes are challenging to quantify at a community level, particularly within
complex ecosystems (eg, rainforests, coral reefs). Predation is one of the most important …

Ecosystem-based management on coral reefs has historically focused on biodiversity
conservation through the establishment of marine reserves, but it is increasingly recognised …

Coral reefs are among Earth's best-studied ecosystems, yet the degree to which large
predators influence the ecology of coral reefs remains an open and contentious question …

The relationship between zooplankton biomass and phytoplankton biomass can provide
insight into the structure and function of lake biological communities. We used a Bayesian …

Sharks embody several major aspects of modern marine management: they are traditionally
antagonized, exploited or by‐caught by humans, typically vulnerable to extirpation, pursued …
