The degradation of coral reefs is widely reported, yet there is a poor understanding of the adaptability of reef fishes to cope with benthic change. We tested the effects of coral reef degradation on the feeding plasticity of four reef fish species. We used isotopic niche sizes and mean δ...
We humans have inadvertently triggered the emergence of a new Earth system: a new geological epoch called the Anthropocene (Crutzen 2002; Steffen et al. 20... RH Bradbury,RM Seymour - 《Coral Reefs》 被引量: 70发表: 2009年 Impacts of artisanal fishing on key functional groups and the poten...
Ecological Impacts of Coral Reef Degradation Coral reefs are an essential part of the marine ecosystem, and their degradation has far-reaching ecological impacts. Coral reefs are home to an array of marine species, and their decline results in the loss of biodiversity. The ecological impacts of ...
In this dissertation I provide a quantitative description of the recent ecological trajectory of coral reef degradation across the Caribbean region. Also, I assess the current conservation status of Caribbean reefs and the recovery of the community within marine reserves. My results show that the ...
of limestone skeletons of tiny marine organisms called coral polyps. Coral Reefs Hard rocky ridge build up from the sea bed by many tiny coral animals. They are sometimes called the rainforest of the ocean. They are the home to a great number and variety of fish and other living organisms...
The degradation of coral reef ecosystem can alter the topographic complexity and biotic composition, thereby affecting the coral reef fish community significantly. Coral reefs in the South China Sea have undergone rapid degradation in rece
Catastrophes, Phase Shifts, and Large-Scale Degradation of a Caribbean Coral Reef Many coral reefs have been degraded over the past two to three decades through a combination of human and natural disturbances. In Jamaica, the effects of ... Hughes,P T. - 《Science》 被引量: 4605发表: 1994...
