Predicting climate-driven regime shifts versus rebound potential in coral reefs
Nicholas A. J. Graham,Simon Jennings,Simon Jennings,M. Aaron MacNeil,M. Aaron MacNeil,David Mouillot,David Mouillot,Shaun K. Wilson +7 more
TL;DR: Although conditions governing regime shift or recovery dynamics were diverse, pre-disturbance quantification of simple factors such as structural complexity and water depth accurately predicted ecosystem trajectories, foreshadow the likely divergent but predictable outcomes for reef ecosystems in response to climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comanagement of coral reef social ecological systems
Joshua E. Cinner,Tim R. McClanahan,M. Aaron MacNeil,Nicholas A. J. Graham,Tim M. Daw,Ahmad Mukminin,David A. Feary,Ando Rabearisoa,Andrew Wamukota,Narriman Jiddawi,Stuart Campbell,Andrew H. Baird,Fraser A. Januchowski-Hartley,Salum S. Hamed,Rachael Lahari,Tau Morove,John Kuange +16 more
TL;DR: It is shown that comanagement is largely successful at meeting social and ecological goals, and tends to benefit wealthier resource users and institutional characteristics strongly influence livelihood and compliance outcomes, yet have little effect on ecological conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rescaling the trophic structure of marine food webs
Nigel E. Hussey,M. Aaron MacNeil,Bailey C. McMeans,Jill A. Olin,Sheldon F. J. Dudley,Geremy Cliff,Sabine P. Wintner,Sean T. Fennessy,Aaron T. Fisk +8 more
TL;DR: The resulting scaled Δ15N framework estimated reliable TPs of zooplanktivores to tertiary piscivores congruent with known feeding relationships that radically alters the conventional structure of marine food webs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cruz-Motta,David J. Booth,Pascale Chabanet,Charlie Gough,Mark Tupper,Sebastian C. A. Ferse,U. Rashid Sumaila,David Mouillot,David Mouillot +50 more
TL;DR: This paper identified 15 bright spots and 35 dark spots among more than 2,500 reefs worldwide and developed a Bayesian hierarchical model to generate expectations of how standing stocks of reef fish biomass are related to 18 socioeconomic drivers and environmental conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Harnessing global fisheries to tackle micronutrient deficiencies
Christina C. Hicks,Christina C. Hicks,Philippa J. Cohen,Philippa J. Cohen,Nicholas A. J. Graham,Nicholas A. J. Graham,Kirsty L. Nash,Edward H. Allison,Edward H. Allison,Coralie D’Lima,David J. Mills,David J. Mills,Matthew Roscher,Shakuntala H. Thilsted,Andrew L. Thorne-Lyman,M. Aaron MacNeil +15 more
TL;DR: Using the concentration of 7 nutrients in more than 350 species of marine fish, this predictive model is used to quantify the global spatial patterns of the concentrations of nutrients in marine fisheries and compare nutrient yields to the prevalence of micronutrient deficiencies in human populations.
