Coral recruitment describes the addition of new individuals to populations, and it is one of
the most fundamental demographic processes contributing to population size. As many coral …

Ecosystem recovery from human‐induced disturbances, whether through natural processes
or restoration, is occurring worldwide. Yet, recovery dynamics, and their implications for …

Many countries with tropical reef systems face hard choices preserving coral reefs in the
face of climate change on limited budgets. One approach to maximising regional reef …

Coral bleaching events and resultant changes in benthic community composition and
population size structure can diminish the important geo‐ecological functions reefs provide …

Introduction Coral bleaching immediately impacts the reef benthos, but effects on fish
communities are less well understood because they are often delayed and confounded by …

Coral larval dispersal establishes connectivity between reefs, but larval fluxes vary over
timescales from daily to multidecadal due to oceanographic variability. Using a 2‐km …

Recruitment processes largely drive spatial distributions, dynamics, and recovery potential
of marine communities. Determining scales of variation in recruitment rates and composition …

Global ocean warming is affecting keystone species distributions and fitness, resulting in the
degradation of marine ecosystems. Coral reefs are one of the most diverse and productive …

The persistence of Pacific coral reefs is threatened by large-scale mortality resulting from
heat stress, storms, overfishing, disease, and land-based pollution. While reefs have …

Abstract The tropical southwest Indian Ocean is a coral biodiversity hotspot, with remote
reefs physically connected by larval dispersal through eddies and a complex set of …
