Human impacts on the environment are multifaceted and can occur across distinct
spatiotemporal scales. Ecological responses to environmental change are therefore difficult …

Coastal habitats, such as seagrasses, mangroves, rocky and coral reefs, salt marshes, and
kelp forests, sustain many key fish and invertebrate populations around the globe. Our …

Coral morphology has important implications across scales, from differences in physiology,
to the environments they are found, through to their role as ecosystem engineers. However …

Seagrass fishes perform key ecological roles and are a critical component of many of the
world's fisheries. A sound understanding of seagrass fish communities, based on robust …

Communities of organisms, from mammals to microorganisms, have discontinuous
distributions of body size. This pattern of size structuring is a conservative trait of community …

The concept of ecological resilience (the amount of disturbance a system can absorb before
collapsing and reorganizing) holds potential for predicting community change and collapse …

The cross‐scale resilience model suggests that system‐level ecological resilience emerges
from the distribution of species' functions within and across the spatial and temporal scales …

Objective For foraging animals, energy acquisition is often influenced by an interaction of
prey abundance and the amount of space needed to capture sufficient food. Suitable habitat …

Anthropogenic structures are increasingly common in natural environments and present
novel habitats for resident organisms. Marine breakwalls are similar to natural reefs in that …

Body size is a fundamental trait known to allometrically scale with metabolic rate and
therefore a key determinant of individual development, life history, and consequently fitness …
