Diseases are major drivers of the deterioration of coral reefs and are linked to major
declines in coral abundance, reef functionality, and reef-related ecosystems services. An …

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 …

Promoting resilience is highly relevant to preserving biodiversity and ecosystem functioning.
For coral reefs, parrotfish protection emerged as a mainstream action for reversing the …

Aim To present an updated database of fish species recorded on south‐western Atlantic reef
environments and to explore the ecological drivers of the structure, the latitudinal gradient of …

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 …

Habitat associations underpin species ecologies in high-diversity systems. Within tropical,
shallow water coral reefs, the relationship between fishes and corals is arguably the most …

Abstract Aim Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly implemented to conserve or
restore coral reef biodiversity, yet evidence of their benefits for enhancing coral cover is …

Globally, marine protected area (MPA) objectives have increasingly shifted from a primary
focus on maintaining ecosystems through prohibiting extractive activities, to more equitable …

Marine ecosystems globally have suffered habitat, biodiversity and function loss in response
to human activity. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) can limit extractive activities and enhance …

Canopy‐forming algae play a key role in temperate coastal ecosystems sustaining complex
habitats that provide food and refuge for rich associated biotic communities. These …
