Beyond the reef: The widespread use of non‐reef habitats by coral reef fishes
Fish and Fisheries, 2019 AbstractMarine ecology seeks to understand the factors that shape biological communities. Progress towards this goal has been hampered by habitat‐centric approaches that ignore the influence of the wider seascape. Coral reef fishes may use non‐reef habitats (e.g.

Influence of abiotic factors on phytoplankton diversity and distribution in an atoll environment
Acta Botânica Brasílica, 2022 Taxonomic investigations of phytoplankton community structure are very important for understanding the dynamics of these organisms in places like reefs, which present broad hydro-biological variation.

Transitions in coral reef accretion rates linked to intrinsic ecological shifts on turbid-zone nearshore reefs [PDF]
, 2016 Nearshore coral communities within turbid settings are typically perceived to have limited reef-building capacity. However, several recent studies have reported reef growth over millennial time scales within such environments and have hypothesized that ...

Current Biology, 2008 Coral reefs are the most diverse of marine ecosystems, with hundreds of thousands if not millions of species associated with reefs. For this reason they are often called the rain forests of the sea, and as such they have been of interest not only to marine scientists but also to ecologists and evolutionary biologists broadly.
