The coastlines of many Arabian cities are now dominated by structures such as seawalls,
breakwaters and jetties as urbanization has expanded rapidly in the region. Coastal …

Infrastructure is increasingly being built in marine habitats, with extensive ecological
consequences for benthic and fish assemblages alike. The practice of ecological …

Structural complexity plays a key role in the functioning of coral reef ecosystems. Reef-
building corals are major contributors to this complexity, providing shelter and food for …

Body size is closely linked to mortality rates in many animals, although the overarching
patterns in this relationship have rarely been considered for multiple species. A meta …

The 3D structure of individual coral colonies provides insights into their ecological
functioning. While structure from motion techniques make it possible to reconstruct 3D …

Refuge availability and fishing alter predator‐prey interactions on coral reefs, but our
understanding of how they interact to drive food web dynamics, community structure and …

Understanding long-term trends in marine ecosystems requires accurate and repeatable
counts of fishes and other aquatic organisms on spatial and temporal scales that are difficult …

In the past decade, significant efforts have been made to describe fish-habitat associations.
However, most studies have oversimplified actual connections between fish assemblages …

Identifying the relationship between fish aggregations and artificial reefs (ARs) is important
for optimizing reef structures and protecting marine resources subjected to external …

Global and local stressors are causing the worldwide loss of coral cover and structural
complexity at an unprecedented pace on reefs. In consequence, the habitat of coral reef fish …
