Because the world's population is increasing, science‐based policies are needed to
promote sustainable global development. It is important to maintain and restore the …

Coral reef ecosystems are under increasing pressure by multiple stressors that degrade reef
condition and function. Although improved management systems have yielded benefits in …

Canopy‐forming macroalgae can construct extensive meadow habitats in tropical
seascapes occupied by fishes that span a diversity of taxa, life‐history stages and ecological …

Coastal habitats, such as seagrasses, mangroves, rocky and coral reefs, salt marshes, and
kelp forests, sustain many key fish and invertebrate populations around the globe. Our …

In this study, the ichthyoplankton in two distinct tropical seascapes, gravelly sand with
rhodolith beds (SRB) and muddy sand with seagrasses, were compared. The number of …

Marginal reefs sustain coral assemblages under conditions considered suboptimal for most
corals, resulting in low coral abundance. These reefs are inhabited by numerous fishes with …

One of the most critical ecosystem functions provided by shallow coastal habitats is as
nurseries for the juveniles of fish. Many of the studies that have assessed the nursery …

Context In heterogeneous landscapes, local patterns of community structure are a product of
the habitat size and condition within a patch interacting with adjacent habitat patches of …

Nonreef habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and macroalgal beds are important for
foraging, spawning, and as nursery habitat for some coral reef fishes. The spatial …

Aim Functional diversity encapsulates whole‐community responses to environmental
gradients mediated by species traits. Under trait convergence, similar responses may cause …
