Live corals are the key habitat forming organisms on coral reefs, contributing to both
biological and physical structure. Understanding the importance of corals for reef fishes is …

Intraspecific food competition exerts powerful selective forces on all animals; successful
foragers thrive relative to weaker conspecifics. Understanding competition is therefore …

Social organisation in animals takes many forms. It includes assemblages of territorial
animals, dominance hierarchies and social groups, among other things. The basic tenet that …

Coastal habitats, such as seagrasses, mangroves, rocky and coral reefs, salt marshes, and
kelp forests, sustain many key fish and invertebrate populations around the globe. Our …

The global degradation of coral reefs is having profound effects on the structure and species
richness of associated reef fish assemblages. Historically, variation in the composition of fish …

Record-breaking temperatures between 2015 and 2016 led to unprecedented pan-tropical
bleaching of scleractinian corals. On the Great Barrier Reef (GBR), the effects were most …

Red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus) are associated with artificial habitats in the Gulf of
Mexico (GOM). However, fine-scale movements and use of artificial reefs by red snapper …

The cryptobenthic reef fish communities from four microhabitats at Orpheus Island, central
Great Barrier Reef are described. Eighty-four 0.4 m 2 samples yielded a total of 368 …

Resource polymorphisms, or morphological variations related to resource use, are common
in fishes and are thought to be a possible step in speciation. This study experimentally tests …

As predators play a central role in prey population regulation, predicting the impact of a
novel predator requires determining how the invader affects the compensatory dynamics …
