The sustainability of coral reef fisheries is jeopardized by complex and interacting socio-
ecological stressors that undermine their contribution to food and nutrition security. Climate …

Structural complexity provided by the living coral reef framework is the basis of the rich and
dynamic biodiversity in coral reefs. In many cases today, the reduction in habitat complexity …

Declines in habitat structural complexity have marked ecological outcomes, as currently
observed in many of the world's ecosystems. Coral reefs have provided a model for such …

Tropical ectotherms are hypothesized to be vulnerable to environmental changes, but
cascading effects of organismal tolerances on the assembly and functioning of reef fish …

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 …

Carbonate budgets dynamically balance production and loss of calcium carbonate (CaCO3)
on coral reefs. To sustain or expand the coral reef framework, CaCO3 production by …

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 …

Spatial subsidies increase local productivity and boost consumer abundance beyond the
limits imposed by local resources. In marine ecosystems, deeper water and open ocean …

Climate change is transforming coral reefs, threatening supply of essential dietary
micronutrients from small-scale fisheries to tropical coastal communities. Yet the nutritional …

Herbivorous fishes are a key functional group in coral reef ecosystems and have been the
focus of a vast body of research. While substantial progress has been made in research …
