A vision for regular, rapid assessments of the tropical northwestern Atlantic’s coral reefs
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2006 The Atlantic and Gulf Rapid Reef Assessment (AGRRA) Program, consisting of non-fixed, transect- based visual surveys, provides "snapshot" characterizations of a number of structurally or functionally important benthic and fish indicators on tropical ...

Static measurements of the resilience of Caribbean coral populations
Revista de Biología Tropical, 2012 The progressive downward shift in dominance of key reef building corals, coupled with dramatic increases in macroalgae and other nuisance species, fields of unstable coral rubble ,loss of structural relief, and declines of major functional groups of ...

A comparison of coral reef and coral community fish assemblages in Pacific Panama and environmental factors governing their structure [PDF]
Journal of the Marine Biological Association of the United Kingdom, 2008 We compared the reef fish assemblages of two habitats, coral reefs and coral communities (rocky substratum with coral colonies), in the Las Perlas Archipelago in Pacific Panama and attempted to determine associations with habitat variables.

Functional divergence from ecological baselines on Caribbean coral reefs
Ecography, Volume 2022, Issue 3, March 2022., 2022 Understanding how emergent ecological assemblages have diverged from natural states is fundamental in predicting future functioning and services of ecosystems. Coral reefs are of particular concern due to their high susceptibility to anthropogenic stressors.
