Coral reef ecosystems are remarkable for their high productivity in nutrient-poor waters. A
high proportion of primary production is consumed by the dominant herbivore assemblage …

This review provides an in-depth survey of the recorded incidences in aquatic organisms of
mortality and disease events suspected or known to be caused by microalgal or ciliate …

Coral recruitment is a key process in the maintenance and recovery of coral reef
ecosystems. While intense competition between coral and algae is often assumed on reefs …

The fish gustatory system provides the final sensory evaluation in the feeding process.
Unlike other vertebrates, the gustatory system in fish may be divided into two distinct …

Over the past decades numerous studies have reported declines in stony corals and, in
many cases, phase shifts to fleshy macroalgae. However, long-term studies documenting …

Increased demand has pushed extensive aquaculture towards intensively operated
production systems, commonly resulting in eutrophic conditions and cyanobacterial blooms …

The interdisciplinary field of marine chemical ecology is an expanding and dynamic science.
It is no surprise that the breadth of marine organisms studied expanded in concert with …

Lyngbya majuscula is a benthic filamentous marine cyanobacterium, which in recent years
appears to have been increasing in frequency and size of blooms in Moreton Bay …

▪ Abstract The study of digestive physiology provides a framework for analyzing food
resources, feeding patterns, and evolutionary trends in vertebrate herbivores. Most of the …

Parrotfishes (Scarini) are considered key agents in coral reef health and recovery, but the
drivers of parrotfish–coral dynamics remain contentious. The prevailing view of parrotfishes …
