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 …

Zoanthus and Palythoa are benthic colonial zooxanthellate cnidarians common in shallow
hard substrate marine ecosystems in subtropical and tropical regions, where they are an …

Loss of biodiversity from lower to upper trophic levels reduces overall productivity and
stability of coastal ecosystems in our oceans, but rarely are these changes documented …

Despite the global focus on the occurrence of regime shifts on shallow-water tropical coral
reefs over the last two decades, most of this research continues to focus on changes to algal …

Abstract Pulau Redang and Pulau Tioman have experienced huge tourism growth over the
last two decades, but minimal sewage treatment may threaten the resilience of their coral …

Information about the distribution and abundance of the habitat-forming sessile organisms in
marine ecosystems is of great importance for conservation and natural resource managers …

Coral reefs are increasingly impacted by climate-induced warming events. However, there is
limited empirical evidence on the variation in the response of shallow coral reef communities …

Proliferations of zoantharians along tropical and subtropical regions are increasingly
common and usually associated with anthropogenic impacts and ecosystem degradation. In …

As coral reef communities change and reorganise in response to increasing disturbances,
there is a growing need for understanding species regimes and their contribution to …

In the current context of climate change, benthic cnidarians of the genus Palythoa have been
suggested to be resistant owing to their intrinsic biological characteristics. In tropical regions …
