Mangrove-reef connectivity is an important driver of coral reef fish assemblages and a growing body of literature advocates its inclusion into conservation planning and ecosystem-based management. Mangrove-reef connectivity has been shown to enhance marine reserve performance in seascapes where mangroves fringe coral islands, with the influence of...

Evidence from the wild as to the ecological and evolutionary consequences of top predator depletions remains limited, especially in marine systems. Given the pace and extent of predator loss, an understanding of these processes is important. Two sets of adjacent coral reef systems off north-western Australia have similar biological, physical and en...
Increasing disturbance frequency and severity on coral reefs has caused declines in the abundance of structurally complex corals and many fish species that depend on them. However, most studies have focused on the shallowest 10 m, despite coral habitat extending to >30 m in many regions. Reefs in deeper water and offshore locations are less exposed...
