Research on sociality in marine fishes is a vibrant field that is providing new insights into
social evolution more generally. Here, we review the past two decades of research …

Algal turfs are the most abundant benthic covering on reefs in many shallow-water marine
ecosystems. The particulates and sediments bound within algal turfs can influence a …

Coral reef fishes perform essential and well‐documented ecological functions on reefs, but
also contribute important geo‐ecological functions, which influence reef carbonate cycling …

By the century's end, many tropical seas will reach temperatures exceeding most coral
species' thermal tolerance on an annual basis. The persistence of corals in these regions …

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 …

An important, yet overlooked form of anthropogenic pollution is sensory pollution, and one of
the most pervasive forms of sensory pollution is artificial light at night (ALAN). Despite the …

The need for comprehensive and effective coral restoration projects, as part of a broader
conservation management strategy, is accelerating in the face of coral reef ecosystem …

Farming damselfishes are well known for shaping benthic communities on reefs, in terms of
both cultivating algae and increasing productivity. However, their capacity to shape …

Sediments in algal turfs can modify a wide variety of key ecological processes on coral reefs.
While some larger reef fishes can remove these turf-bound sediments, the role of small, yet …

Mutualistic interactions between branching scleractinian corals and aggregating
damselfishes on coral reefs create positive feedback loops, that enhance coral processes …
