Teleost fishes are the most diverse group of vertebrates on Earth. On tropical coral reefs,
their species richness exceeds 6000 species; one tenth of total vertebrate biodiversity. A …

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 …

In line with global targets agreed under the Convention on Biological Diversity, the number
of marine protected areas (MPAs) is increasing rapidly, yet socio-economic benefits …

Coral reefs face a diverse array of threats, from eutrophication and overfishing to climate
change. As live corals are lost and their skeletons eroded, the structural complexity of reefs …

The effects of ocean acidification (OA) on the structure and complexity of coastal marine
biogenic habitat have been broadly overlooked. Here we explore how declining pH and …

Marine reserves are widely used throughout the world to prevent overfishing and conserve
biodiversity, but uncertainties remain about their optimal design. The effects of marine …

Three underwater stereo-video techniques were used to sample the relative densities and
species richness of temperate reef fish assemblages at three reef locations and two habitats …

Increasing speed and magnitude of global change threaten the world's biodiversity and
particularly coral reef fishes. A better understanding of large-scale patterns and processes …

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly envisaged as a tool to manage coastal
ecosystems and fisheries. Assessment of their performance with respect to management …

Restoration projects are underway internationally in response to global declines in shellfish
beds. As diverse biological assemblages underpin a variety of ecosystem services …
