Biodiversity of coral reef cryptobiota shuffles but does not decline under the combined stressors of ocean warming and acidification
Ocean-warming and acidification are predicted to reduce coral reef biodiversity, but the
combined effects of these stressors on overall biodiversity are largely unmeasured. Here, we …

Abundance modulates the ecosystem functional contributions of two sympatric Caribbean sea cucumbers
In highly diverse systems such as coral reefs, many species appear to fulfil similar ecological
roles, suggesting that they might be ecologically equivalent. However, even if species …
