Strong effects of coral species on the diversity and structure of reef fish communities: A multi-scale analysis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
While there is increasing evidence for habitat specialization in coral reef fishes, the extent to which different corals support different fish communities is not well understood.

Other faunas, coral rubbles, and soft coral covers are important predictors of coral reef fish diversity, abundance, and biomass

Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, 2023
Coral reef fisheries are prominent for the archipelagic countries’ food sufficiency and security. Studies showed that fish abundance and biomass are affected by biophysical variables. The present study determines which biophysical variables are important

Regional heterogeneity in coral species richness and hue reveals novel global predictors of reef fish intra-family diversity

Scientific Reports, 2021
Habitat heterogeneity shapes biological communities, a well-known process in terrestrial ecosystems but substantially unresolved within coral reef ecosystems.

Changes in population biology of three coral reef fishes in the South China Sea between 1998–1999 and 2016–2019

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
The decline of coral reefs and their fish has attracted worldwide attention. The South China Sea is the important center of coral reefs. Reef-fish is a crucial component in coral reef ecosystem. However, studies on the long-term variation in the biololgy

Non‐reef habitats in a tropical seascape affect density and biomass of fishes on coral reefs

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Nonreef habitats such as mangroves, seagrass, and macroalgal beds are important for foraging, spawning, and as nursery habitat for some coral reef fishes.

Habitat connectivity in coastal environments: patterns and movements of Caribbean coral reef fishes with emphasis on Bluestriped Grunt, Haemulon sciurus [PDF]

, 2003
Habitat connectivity within tropical marine seascapes may be greatly dependent on the movement of large organisms, particularly fishes. Using visual and trap sampling within two small bays in Virgin Islands National Park/Biosphere Reserve, St. John, U.S.

More coral, more fish? Contrasting snapshots from a remote Pacific atoll [PDF]

PeerJ, 2015
Coral reefs are in decline across the globe as a result of overexploitation, pollution, disease and, more recently, climate change. The impacts of changes in coral cover on associated fish communities can be difficult to predict because of the uneven ...
