Coral reefs have largely declined across multiple spatial scales due to a combination of
local-scale anthropogenic impacts, and due to regional-global climate change. This has …

Little is known about long-term changes in coral reef fish communities. Here we present a
new technique that leverages fish otoliths in reef sediments to reconstruct coral reef fish …

Coral reefs across the southern Arabian Gulf have declined in the past two decades, with
