Habitat connectivity in reef fish communities and marine reserve design in Old Providence-Santa Catalina, Colombia [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
On the insular platform of Old Providence/Santa Catalina, Colombia, we compared nearshore lagoonal patch reefs to those on the northern bank distant from the islands to determine the importance of habitat connectivity to fish community structure ...

Acoustic enrichment can enhance fish community development on degraded coral reef habitat

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Coral reefs worldwide are increasingly damaged by anthropogenic stressors, necessitating novel approaches for their management. Maintaining healthy fish communities counteracts reef degradation, but degraded reefs smell and sound less attractive to ...

Indonesian inquiry: A narrative of biocultural teaching on Sulawesi Utara

open access: yesBritish Educational Research Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Using phenomenology, narrative inquiry and autoethnographic approaches, this study analyses a program of faculty development conducted alongside the delivery of an international field school. Through this study, we explore the value and benefits of inter‐cultural field programming and how these might serve to complement or to redress ...

Distribution and sighting frequency of reef fishes in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
This study analyzed species richness, distribution, and sighting frequency of selected reef fishes to describe species assemblage composition, abundance, and spatial distribution patterns among sites and regions (Upper Keys, Middle Keys, Lower Keys, and ...

Cleaner Fish Drives Local Fish Diversity on Coral Reefs [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Biology, 2003
Coral reefs are one of the most diverse habitats in the world, yet our understanding of the processes affecting their biodiversity is limited. At the local scale, cleaner fish are thought to have a disproportionate effect, in relation to their abundance and size, on the activity of many other fish species, but confirmation of this species' effect on ...

Upper and lower mesophotic coral reef fish communities evaluated by underwater visual censuses in two Caribbean locations

open access: yesCoral reefs, 2016
Despite more than 60 yr of coral reef research using scuba diving, mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) between 30 and 150 m depth remain largely unknown.

Characterization of the Microbiome of Corals with Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease along Florida’s Coral Reef

open access: yesMicroorganisms, 2021
Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is an emergent and often lethal coral disease that was first reported near Miami, FL (USA) in 2014. Our objective was to determine if coral colonies showing signs of SCTLD possess a specific microbial signature ...

Biogeographic analysis of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve: Examining the refuge effect following reserve establishment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Almost 120 days at sea aboard three NOAA research vessels and one fishing vessel over the past three years have supported biogeographic characterization of Tortugas Ecological Reserve (TER).

Hierarchical drivers of reef‐fish metacommunity structure [PDF]

open access: yesEcology, 2009
Coral reefs are highly complex ecological systems, where multiple processes interact across scales in space and time to create assemblages of exceptionally high biodiversity. Despite the increasing frequency of hierarchically structured sampling programs used in coral‐reef science, little progress has been made in quantifying the relative importance of

Reef Fish Survey Techniques: Assessing the Potential for Standardizing Methodologies

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Dramatic changes in populations of fishes living on coral reefs have been documented globally and, in response, the research community has initiated efforts to assess and monitor reef fish assemblages.
