Herbivorous fishes, and the productivity of algal turfs, are widely viewed as central to the
functioning of coral reefs. This understanding is largely based on clear-water reefs. Our …

Recently, increasing evidence suggests that reef-building corals exposed to elevated
suspended solids (SS) are largely structured by changes in underwater light availability …

The speed at which marine and coastal ecosystems are being degraded due to cumulative
impacts limits the effectiveness of conservation strategies. To abate ocean degradation and …

Algal turfs trap and retain particulates, however, little is known about the relationship
between particulate accumulation and taxonomic composition of algal turfs. We investigated …

Coral reefs are one of the most valuable yet threatened ecosystems in the world. Improving
