Ecology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 6, June 2025.Our study investigates the temporal dynamics and disturbance responses of coral‐dwelling gall crabs (Cryptochiridae), an overlooked yet ecologically significant group of obligate coral symbionts. By integrating transect surveys with a novel fate‐tracking approach, we reveal unexpectedly high turnover rates in gall crab populations, allowing us to ...

Population outbreaks and large aggregations of Drupella on the Great Barrier Reef [PDF]
, 2009 Drupella spp. are marine snails that feed exclusively on reef-building corals in the Indo-Pacific region. Since the early 1980s, numerous reports of large aggregations and population outbreaks of Drupella killing corals and damaging coral reefs have ...

Ecosphere, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2025.Abstract In the Anthropocene, understanding and managing ecological communities requires the characterization of natural spatiotemporal ecosystem dynamics. Complex ecosystems may appear chaotic and unstructured, making long‐term monitoring programs with hierarchical sampling designs ideal for investigating ecological patterns at multiple scales.

The role of vision for navigation in the crown-of-thorns seastar, Acanthaster planci [PDF]
, 2016 Coral reefs all over the Indo-Pacific suffer from substantial damage caused by the crown-of-thorns seastar Acanthaster planci, a voracious predator that moves on and between reefs to seek out its coral prey. Chemoreception is thought to guide A.
