Path analysis revealed robust associations between this behavioral variation and physical habitat conditions of the reef, indicating that physical rather than social habitat variation is the primary determinant of these spatial patterns of intraspecific behavioral variation. Taken as a whole, this coupling ...
TF阅读真题第496篇:What is Coral? Corals belong to a group of animals called cnidarians. This group encompasses hard and soft corals., sea fans, gorgonians, hydroids, jellyfish, and sea anemones Although the group is remarkably diverse, there are a few features shared by all. They have a ...

Distinguishing microhabitats based on their physical features using AGDS, and establishing the effectiveness of measured features to act as surrogate measures of diversity and abundance of juvenile reef fish, can provide information critical for marine resource management [112,113,114]. In coral reefs,...
As the centuries pass, the coral reef gradually grows, one tiny exoskeleton at a time, until they become massive features of the marine environment. Corals are found all over the world's oceans, from the Aleutian Islands off the coast of Alaska to the warm tropical waters of the Caribbean ...
The spatial arrangement, morphology and abundance of living coral colonies largely shape the topographic complexity (Zawadaet al., 2010) and shelter capacity of reefscapes (Richardsonet al., 2017b), providing refuges from physical stress, competition and predation to a multitude of reef organisms ...

Structural complexity provided by the living coral reef framework is the basis of the rich and dynamic biodiversity in coral reefs. In many cases today, th
