Climate change, coral loss, and the curious case of the parrotfish paradigm: why don't marine protected areas improve reef resilience?
Scientists have advocated for local interventions, such as creating marine protected areas
and implementing fishery restrictions, as ways to mitigate local stressors to limit the effects of …

Herbivory and the resilience of Caribbean coral reefs: knowledge gaps and implications for management
Herbivory is a key process on coral reefs that can facilitate reef-building corals by excluding
algae that otherwise negatively impact coral settlement, growth, and survivorship. Over the …

The dynamics of architectural complexity on coral reefs under climate change
One striking feature of coral reef ecosystems is the complex benthic architecture which
supports diverse and abundant fauna, particularly of reef fish. Reef‐building corals are in …

Nutrient supply from fishes facilitates macroalgae and suppresses corals in a Caribbean coral reef ecosystem
On coral reefs, fishes can facilitate coral growth via nutrient excretion; however, as coral
abundance declines, these nutrients may help facilitate increases in macroalgae. By …

Evidence for and against the existence of alternate attractors on coral reefs
Synthesis Coral reefs are widely thought to exhibit multiple attractors which have profound
implications for people that depend on them. If reefs become 'stuck'within a self‐reinforcing …
