Scleractinian corals rely on heterotrophy in highly turbid environments
Coral communities can survive in stressful environments; however, the mechanisms corals
employ to endure challenging conditions are poorly understood. This study assessed how …

Improving stable isotope assessments of inter‐and intra‐species variation in coral reef fish trophic strategies
Fish have one of the highest occurrences of individual specialization in trophic strategies
among Eukaryotes. Yet, few studies characterize this variation during trophic niche analysis …
