Accurate biomass estimates are key to understanding a wide variety of ecological functions. In marine systems, epibenthic biomass estimates have traditionally relied on either …
Abstract Wakatobi National Park (WNP), located in the heart of the Coral Triangle in Indonesia, is one of the most biodiverse marine habitats on Earth. Coral ecosystems within …
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 …
Rising ocean temperatures are the primary driver of coral reef declines throughout the tropics. Such declines include reductions in coral cover that facilitate the monopolization of …
Mass coral bleaching events may have disproportionate effects on branching corals, leading to coral community restructuring, reduced biodiversity, and decreased structural complexity …
The distribution and organisation of benthic organisms on tropical reefs are typically heterogenous yet display distinct zonation patterns across depth gradients. However, there …
Anthropogenic and environmental stressors damage the structure and function of coral reefs. Monitoring data is important because it allows scientists to detect changes that are of …
