Fishes are the dominant vertebrates in the ocean, yet we know little of their contribution to
carbon export flux at regional to global scales. We synthesize the existing information on fish …

Surgeonfishes have had a long evolutionary history that has been closely linked with coral
reef ecosystems. Today they are a key component of reef fish assemblages, playing a …

Human impact increasingly alters global ecosystems, often reducing biodiversity and
disrupting the provision of essential ecosystem services to humanity. Therefore, preserving …

All animals on Earth compete for free energy, which is acquired, assimilated, and ultimately
allocated to growth and reproduction. Competition is strongest within communities of …

The deep learning (DL) revolution is touching all scientific disciplines and corners of our
lives as a means of harnessing the power of big data. Marine ecology is no exception. New …

Coral reef fisheries supply nutritious catch to tropical coastal communities, where the quality
of reef seafood is determined by both the rate of biomass production and nutritional value of …

In the last decade, the ocean has absorbed a quarter of the Earth's greenhouse gas
emissions through the carbon (C) cycle, a naturally occurring process. Aspects of the ocean …

Under current trajectories, it is unlikely that the coral reefs of the future will resemble those of
the past. As multiple stressors, such as climate change and coastal development, continue …

Consumers play an important role in biogeochemical cycles through the consumption and
release of essential elements such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). Indeed …

Global change alters ecological communities with consequences for ecosystem processes.
Such processes and functions are a central aspect of ecological research and vital to …
