Climate change, coral loss, and the curious case of the parrotfish paradigm: why don't marine protected areas improve reef resilience?
Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas
and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of …

A meta-analysis to assess long-term spatiotemporal changes of benthic coral and macroalgae cover in the Mexican Caribbean
Coral reefs in the wider Caribbean declined in hard coral cover by~ 80% since the 1970s,
but spatiotemporal analyses for sub-regions are lacking. Here, we explored benthic change …
