TL;DR: This study provides the first large-scale description of benthic communities along the southwestern Atlantic, providing a baseline for macroecological comparisons and evaluation of future impacts, and new understanding of richness distribution along Brazilian reefs will contribute to conservation planning efforts.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that South Atlantic corals display critical features that make them less susceptible to mass coral bleaching: (i) deeper bathymetric distribution, as species have a mean maximum depth of occurrence of 70 m; (ii) higher tolerance to turbidity, as nearly 60% of species are found in turbid conditions; (iii) higher resilience to nutrient enrichment, as nitrate concentration in the South Atlantic is naturally elevated; (iv) higher morphological resistance, as massive growth forms are dominant and comprise two thirds of species; and (

TL;DR: The variations in benthic and reef fish communities, and feeding pressure on the benthos between open and closed pools suggest that the dynamics in open pools is mostly driven by physical factors and the tolerance of organisms to harsh conditions, while in closed pools direct and indirect effects of species interactions also play an important role.

TL;DR: This paper presents a meta-anatomy of the response of Response of Response to EMMARM, a probabilistic assessment of the responses of response of response to EMTs to carbon dioxide in the mantle of the Southern Ocean.

TL;DR: This work explored large-scale variation in reef fish trophic interactions, encompassing tropical and subtropical reefs with different abiotic conditions and trophics structure of reef fish community, highlighting the need to incorporate critical functions into conservation strategies.
