From co‐occurrence to temporal coupling in a coral defender guild
Oikos, EarlyView.Coral‐dwelling decapods can improve host fitness by defending corals against corallivores and sediment accumulation, yet the temporal dynamics linking co‐resident defenders remain poorly understood. Guard crabs Trapezia and snapping shrimp Alpheus provide complementary benefits to pocilloporid corals, and previous, largely cross‐sectional work has ...
