Surgeonfishes have had a long evolutionary history that has been closely linked with coral
reef ecosystems. Today they are a key component of reef fish assemblages, playing a …

Algal turfs are likely to rise in prominence on coral reefs in the Anthropocene. In these
ecosystems the sediments bound within algal turfs will shape ecosystem functions and the …

Sediments are found on all coral reefs around the globe. However, the amount of sediment
in different reservoirs, and the rates at which sediments move between reservoirs, can …

Coral reefs have changed radically in the last few decades with reefs in the Caribbean now
averaging 13% coral cover and 40% macroalgal cover (mostly Dictyota and Lobophora). So …

Sediments are ubiquitous on coral reefs. However, studies of reef sediments have largely
focused on isolated reservoirs, or processes, and rarely consider hydrodynamic drivers. We …

Algal turfs trap and retain particulates, however, little is known about the relationship
between particulate accumulation and taxonomic composition of algal turfs. We investigated …

Coral reefs are highly productive ecosystems, with much of this productivity arising from the
algal turfs which cover the hard reef substratum. This productivity can flow up the food chain …

Understanding how functional traits drive plant-herbivore interactions often illuminates the
mechanisms driving niche partitioning and functional diversity in this important guild of …

There is a rich literature on coral reef sediments. However, this knowledge is spread among
research fields, and the extent to which major sediment reservoirs and reservoir connecting …

Ciguatera Poisoning (CP) is a widespread and complex poisoning syndrome caused by the
consumption of fish or invertebrates contaminated with a suite of potent neurotoxins …
