Significance Our results indicate that, even in highly diverse systems like coral reefs, we can no longer assume that the erosion of species diversity be discounted by high probability functional redundancy: i.e., several support same function. Indeed, show fish tend to disproportionately pack into a few particular functions while leaving many vulnerable, they are supported just one species. Even Coral Triangle, which has concentration tropical-reef fishes, may experience loss following...
Delineating regions is an important first step in understanding the evolution and biogeography of faunas. However, quantitative approaches are often limited at a global scale, particularly marine realm. Reef fishes most diversified group fishes, compared to other phyla, their taxonomy geographical distributions relatively well known. Based on 169 checklists spread across all tropical oceans, present work aims quantitatively delineate biogeographical entities for reef scale. Four different...
In the marine realm, tropics host an extraordinary diversity of taxa but drivers underlying global distribution organisms are still under scrutiny and we lack accurate predictive model. Using a spatial database for 6336 tropical reef fishes, attempted to predict species richness according geometric, biogeographical environmental explanatory variables. particular, aimed evaluate disentangle performances temperature, habitat area, connectivity, mid‐domain effect region on fish richness. We...
Coral-algal phase shifts in which coral cover declines to low levels and is replaced by algae have often been documented on reefs worldwide. This has motivated reef management responses that include restriction regulation of fishing, e.g. herbivorous fish species. However, there evidence eutrophication sedimentation can be at least as important a reduction herbivory causing shifts. These threats arise from coastal development leading increased nutrient sediment loads, stimulate algal growth...
Increasing heat stress due to global climate change is causing coral reef decline, and the Caribbean has been one of most vulnerable regions. Here, we assessed three decades (1985-2017) exposure in wider at ecoregional local scales using remote sensing. We found a high spatial temporal variability stress, emphasizing an observed increase over time ecoregions, especially from 2003 identified as point stress. A spatiotemporal analysis classified into eight heat-stress regions offering new...
Abstract The impact of anthropogenic activity on ecosystems has highlighted the need to move beyond biogeographical delineation species richness patterns understanding vulnerability assemblages, including functional components that are linked processes they support. We developed a decision theory framework quantitatively assess global taxonomic and fish assemblages tropical reefs using combination sensitivity loss, exposure threats extent protection. Fish with high often exposed but largely...
Coral reefs worldwide are degrading due to climate change, overfishing, pollution, coastal development, coral bleaching, and diseases. In areas where the natural recovery of an ecosystem is negligible or protection through management interventions insufficient, active restoration becomes critical. The Reef Futures symposium in 2018 brought together over 400 reef experts, businesses, civil organizations, galvanized them save identify alternative solutions. highlighted that solutions...
The worldwide decline of coral reefs threatens the livelihoods coastal communities and puts at risk valuable ecosystem services provided by reefs. There is a pressing need for robust predictions potential futures reef associated human systems under alternative management scenarios. Understanding predicting dynamics regional scales tens to hundreds kilometers imperative, because are connected physical socioeconomic processes across regions often international boundaries. We present spatially...
Abstract Aim To investigate biotic and abiotic correlates of reef‐fish species richness across multiple spatial scales. Location Tropical reefs around the globe, including 485 sites in 109 sub‐provinces spread 14 biogeographic provinces. Time period Present. Major taxa studied 2,523 reef fish. Methods We compiled a database encompassing 13,050 visual transects. used hierarchical linear Bayesian models to whether fish body size, area, isolation, temperature, anthropogenic impacts correlate...
