Depth refuge and the impacts of SCUBA spearfishing on coral reef fishes.

To test for the effects of herbivores, nutrient enrichment, season, and their interactions on algal species richness and overall macroalgal abundance of recruitment tiles, we used

For those adults that retain their dorsal eyespots, we hypoth- esized that the presence of the eyespot may be preventing dominant males with territories from

aruanus , the aerobic scopes of Heron Island damselfish were always higher at the experimentally elevated temperatures than at their average summer temperature control of 27 u C

The thin layer of fine sediment that blocked settlement of Pocillopora damicornis larvae in this experiment raises the possibility that fine sediment films could block cues and

For all reefs combined, the best set of predictor variables associated with patterns in the coral community were herbivore biomass (most associated with recovered and undis-

While conducting experimental habitat manipulations to assess the roles of herbivorous reef fishes we observed green turtles ( Chelonia mydas ) and hawksbill turtles (

Here, we investigate natural trends in carbonate chemistry of the Davies Reef flat (central Great Barrier Reef) on both diel and seasonal timescales, and we relate these trends

Reef framework height plotted as a function of dry season temperature anomaly (DD = degree days) reflecting the negative temperature anomalies experienced during the peak
