Caribbean coral reef habitats, seagrass beds and mangroves provide important goods and
services both individually and through functional linkages. A range of anthropogenic factors …

Most marine populations are thought to be well connected via long-distance dispersal of
larval stages. Eulerian and Lagrangian flow models, coupled with linear mortality estimates …

Seasonal change in temperature has a profound effect on reproduction in fish. Increasing
temperatures cue reproductive development in spring-spawning species, and falling …

Successful settlement and recruitment of reef fish are influenced by spatial and temporal
processes and variables on distinct scales. Moreover, they require survival at various stages …

We examine the hypothesis that reef fish larvae have some direct influence on their own
dispersal and ability to recruit to their natal reef by tracking cohorts of bicolor damselfish …

Marine reserves are widely used for conservation and fisheries management. However,
there is debate surrounding the speed of population recovery inside reserves and how …

A systematic study of the ambient noise in the shallow coastal waters of north-eastern New
Zealand shows large temporal variability in acoustic power levels between seasons, moon …

Mangroves and seagrass beds have received considerable attention as nurseries for reef
fish, but comparisons have often been made with different methodologies. Thus, relative …

Patterns of habitat use established at settlement may be a primary determinant of the
distribution of coral-reef fishes within and among habitats. However, due to the difficulty of …

The fishing down of marine food webs has been described in pelagic and demersal systems
but rarely documented in coral reef environments. We recorded a rapid shift in fish …
