Coral reefs provide critical services to coastal communities, and these services rely on
ecosystem functions threatened by stressors. By summarizing the threats to the functioning …

Bioerosion of calcium carbonate is the natural counterpart of biogenic calcification. Both are
affected by ocean acidification (OA). We summarize definitions and concepts in bioerosion …

Coral reef ecosystems are being fundamentally restructured by local human impacts and
climate-driven marine heatwaves that trigger mass coral bleaching and mortality. Reducing …

Provides an accessible introduction to urban ecology, using established ecological theory to
identify generalities in the complexity of urban environments. Examines the bio-physical …

Habitat structural complexity influences biotic diversity and abundance, but its influence on
marine ecosystems has not been widely addressed. Recent advances in computer vision …

Ecological structures and processes occur at specific spatiotemporal scales, and
interactions that occur across multiple scales mediate scale‐specific (eg, individual …

Habitat structural complexity is a key factor shaping marine communities. However, accurate
methods for quantifying structural complexity underwater are currently lacking. Loss of …

Predicting whether, how, and to what degree communities recover from disturbance remain
major challenges in ecology. To predict recovery of coral communities we applied field …

Ecosystem-based management on coral reefs has historically focused on biodiversity
conservation through the establishment of marine reserves, but it is increasingly recognised …

The combined accelerated footprint of climate change and enhanced anthropogenic
pressures and the poor outcomes of many traditional management activities raise the needs …
