Journal ArticleDOI

Recovery potential of the world's coral reef fishes

TL;DR: The results demonstrate that crucial ecosystem functions can be maintained through a range of fisheries restrictions, allowing coral reef managers to develop recovery plans that meet conservation and livelihood objectives in areas where marine reserves are not socially or politically feasible solutions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reef flattening effects on total richness and species responses in the Caribbean

TL;DR: This study reveals the importance of reef habitat complexity and structural components to different taxa of macrofauna, total species richness, and individual coral and fish species in the Caribbean.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ontogenetic diet shifts and prey selection in nursery bound lemon sharks, Negaprion brevirostris , indicate a flexible foraging tactic

TL;DR: This study represents the first quantitative analysis of ontogenetic variation in prey preference and size selection in sharks, indicating a flexible foraging tactic in lemon sharks and the importance of hunting ability and predator size in prey choice.
Journal ArticleDOI

High refuge availability on coral reefs increases the vulnerability of reef-associated predators to overexploitation

TL;DR: This study reveals mechanisms for threshold dynamics in predators living in complex habitats and elucidates how predators can be food-limited when most of their prey are able to hide, and highlights the importance of nutrient recycling via the detrital pathway, to support high predator biomasses on coral reefs.
