Aim The aim of this study was to understand the interplay between resistance and recovery
on coral reefs, and to investigate dependence on pre‐and post‐disturbance states, to inform …

Climate‐driven alterations to disturbance regimes are increasingly disrupting patterns of
recovery in many biomes. Here, we examine the impact of disturbance and subsequent level …

Sigmoid growth models, such as the logistic, Gompertz and Richards' models, are widely
used to study population dynamics ranging from microscopic populations of cancer cells, to …

Cycles of disturbance and recovery govern the temporal dynamics of living coral cover on
coral reefs. Monitoring the state of the Great Barrier Reef at regional and individual reef …

Throughout the life sciences, biological populations undergo multiple phases of growth,
often referred to as biphasic growth for the commonly encountered situation involving two …

Abstract Journal of Applied Ecology celebrates its 60th birthday in 2024. In this Editorial, we
explore how the journal's role has changed since its launch and investigate whether the …

Coral reefs are increasingly subjected to major disturbances threatening the health of
marine ecosystems. Substantial research underway to develop intervention strategies that …

The problem of selecting a model given a set of candidates remains a challenging one that
pervades many scientific fields. We employ techniques from the theory of Lie groups to …

Accelerating reef health declines from local and global stressors have catalysed widespread
interest in coral reef restoration practices as an active management tool to boost coral reef …

Coral propagation-and planting-based reef restoration practices are accelerating globally,
yet short-term “success” continues to be measured as broad metrics of coral survival and …
