Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Assessing and strengthening community‐based coastal governance

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Community‐based coastal governance is essential for biodiversity conservation and sustainable livelihoods, yet many communities continue to face significant challenges in establishing and sustaining effective governance systems. We sought to improve understanding of the current status of community‐based coastal governance across five countries

The colours of coral reef fishes

, 2021
Christopher Hemingson studied the processes that shape the various colours and patterns found in coral reef fishes. He demonstrated that numerous factors influence fish colouration, with evolutionary history, morphology, ecology, and reef health all playing a part. Importantly, this thesis identified new ways of thinking about and analysing colouration.

Reconstructing reef fish communities using fish otoliths in coral reef sediments

PLOS ONE, 2019
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 communities. We found over 5,400 otoliths in 169 modern and mid-Holocene bulk samples from Caribbean Panama and Dominican Republic mid-Holocene and modern reefs ...

Coral-associated microbial communities in reef-building corals of Ningaloo Reef Western Australia

, 2011
Coral reefs are at risk and human-induced environmental stressors in synergism with microorganisms have been shown to be the key players for their deterioration.

Protecting temperate old‐growth forests as biotic microrefugia amid climate change

Conservation Science and Practice, EarlyView.
Old‐growth forests are essential biotic microrefugia, providing high carbon storage, biodiversity, and stable microclimates that protect understorey species from climatic extremes. Their resilience to drought and disturbance makes them more effective than younger forests, yet habitat loss, fragmentation, and climate change increasingly threaten these ...

Impacts of Ocean Acidification on Reproduction and Early Life Development in Marine Teleost Fish—A Synthesis

Fish and Fisheries, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ocean acidification (OA) remains a major and underexplored threat to marine fishes, particularly regarding reproductive physiology and early life stages (ELS). Although research over the past 15 years has documented diverse OA effects, substantial knowledge gaps persist.

Status of Benthos and Reef Fish Communities in Pujada Bay, Davao Oriental, Mindanao

Davao Research Journal, 2012
Coral reef resources, particularly corals, macrobenthos and reef fish in Pujada Bay in the southeastern coast of Mindanao were assessed in 2002 to determine their status. A one-shot standard survey methods of corals and their associate fish was conducted

Spot the Difference: Mimicry in a Coral Reef Fish

PLoS ONE, 2013
Eyespots on the body of many animals have long been assumed to confer protection against predators, but empirical evidence has recently demonstrated that this may not always be the case and suggested that such markings may also serve other purposes.
