Habitat complexity and predator odours impact on the stress response and antipredation behaviour in coral reef fish

EP Fakan, BJM Allan, B Illing, AS Hoey, MI McCormick - Plos one, 2023 - journals.plos.org
Mass coral bleaching events coupled with local stressors have caused regional-scale loss of
corals on reefs globally. Following the loss of corals, the structural complexity of these …

Non-consumptive effects in fish predator–prey interactions on coral reefs

MD Mitchell, AR Harborne - Coral Reefs, 2020 - Springer
Predator–prey interactions are critical in ecological communities, but it is increasingly clear
