Abstract Aim The Red Sea is characterised by a unique fauna and historical periods of
desiccation, hypersalinity and intermittent isolation. The origin and contemporary …

Non‐random community changes are becoming more frequent in many ecosystems. In coral
reefs, changes towards communities dominated by other than hard corals are increasing in …

Globally, ecosystems are being reconfigured by a range of intensifying human-induced
stressors. Coral reefs are at the forefront of this environmental transformation, and if we are …

The freshwater and marine fish faunas of South America are the most diverse on Earth, with
current species richness estimates standing above 9100 species. In addition, over the last …

Marine biogeographic realms have been inferred from small groups of species in particular
environments (eg, coastal, pelagic), without a global map of realms based on statistical …

When tropical systems lose species, they are often assumed to be buffered against declines
in functional diversity by the ability of the species-rich biota to display high functional …

It has been argued that globalization in human-mediated dispersal of species breaks down
biogeographic boundaries, yet empirical tests are still missing. We used data on native and …

Identifying and counting fish individuals on photos and videos is a crucial task to cost-
effectively monitor marine biodiversity, yet it remains difficult and time-consuming. In this …

Aim To present an updated database of fish species recorded on south‐western Atlantic reef
environments and to explore the ecological drivers of the structure, the latitudinal gradient of …

The global decline of coral reefs has led to calls for strategies that reconcile biodiversity
conservation and fisheries benefits. Still, considerable gaps in our understanding of the …
