J Environ Manage
. 2021 Apr;
289:112375.
PMID: 33813301
The much-publicized threats to coral reef systems necessitate a considered management response based on comprehensive ecological data. However, data from large reef systems commonly originate from multiple monitoring programs that...

. 2020 Aug;
10(14):6954-6966.
PMID: 32760504
The relative roles of top-down (consumer-driven) and bottom-up (resource-driven) forcing in exploited marine ecosystems have been much debated. Examples from a variety of marine systems of exploitation-induced, top-down trophic forcing...

J Fish Biol
. 2020 Jul;
97(4):1063-1071.
PMID: 32672373
Fishes are commercially, recreationally and functionally important inhabitants of coral reefs. Accordingly, accurate assessments of fish abundance and diversity are necessary for effective reef management. While some reef fish monitoring...

PeerJ
. 2018 May;
6:e4886.
PMID: 29844998
Ecological monitoring programs typically aim to detect changes in the abundance of species of conservation concern or which reflect system status. Coral reef fish assemblages are functionally important for reef...

Glob Chang Biol
. 2017 May;
23(9):3869-3881.
PMID: 28485822
Climate change threatens coral reefs across the world. Intense bleaching has caused dramatic coral mortality in many tropical regions in recent decades, but less obvious chronic effects of temperature and...

Glob Chang Biol
. 2017 Feb;
23(4):1511-1524.
PMID: 28139035
Ocean warming under climate change threatens coral reefs directly, through fatal heat stress to corals and indirectly, by boosting the energy of cyclones that cause coral destruction and loss of...

PeerJ
. 2016 Sep;
4:e2310.
PMID: 27635314
Crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS; Acanthaster spp.) are an outbreaking pest among many Indo-Pacific coral reefs that cause substantial ecological and economic damage. Despite ongoing CoTS research, there remain critical gaps in...

. 2016 Apr;
19(6):629-37.
PMID: 27038889
With marine biodiversity declining globally at accelerating rates, maximising the effectiveness of conservation has become a key goal for local, national and international regulators. Marine protected areas (MPAs) have been...

Curr Biol
. 2015 Mar;
25(8):983-92.
PMID: 25819564
Networks of no-take marine reserves (NTMRs) are widely advocated for preserving exploited fish stocks and for conserving biodiversity. We used underwater visual surveys of coral reef fish and benthic communities...

PMID: 25140801
High biodiversity ecosystems are commonly associated with complex habitats. Coral reefs are highly diverse ecosystems, but are under increasing pressure from numerous stressors, many of which reduce live coral cover...
