Fish communities face increasing anthropogenic pressures in freshwater and marine
ecosystems that modify their biodiversity and threaten the services they supply to human …

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 …

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 …

Although the existence of zooxanthellate corals in mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs;
light-dependent coral ecosystems from 30 to 150 m in depth) has been known since the …

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) occur at depths beyond those typically associated
with coral reefs. Significant logistical challenges associated with data collection in deep …

Coral reefs are among the most biodiverse and productive ecosystems on the planet.
However, our understanding of these ecosystems and their inhabitants has primarily been …

Abstract Aim Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) are unique communities that support a
high proportion of depth‐endemic species distinct from shallow‐water coral reefs. However …

Marine fish communities suffer from anthropogenic pressures and climate change, which
influence their spatio-temporal dynamics. Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) have been …

Anthropogenic stressors are causing widespread coral mortality, leading to loss of coral
cover and decreased structural complexity that threatens reef biodiversity, functioning, and …

Increasing disturbance frequency and severity on coral reefs has caused declines in the
abundance of structurally complex corals and many fish species that depend on them …
