Confronting the coral reef crisis (2004, background): “Comparisons of adjacent reefs open and closed to fishing today indicate that the biomass of targeted reef fishes has been reduced by up to 60%, causing substantial changes in the abundance of their pre”
The importance of structural complexity in coral reef ecosystems (2012, background): “…the possibility that in fished areas where predatory fish are generally more depleted (Jennings and Polunin 1997), a prey release response can occur where individual prey fish species or all individuals within smaller size classes can increase in abundance (Graham et al. 2003; Dulvy et al. 2004).”
Coral bleaching, reef fish community phase shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2006, background): “Furthermore, the study location lies within one of the best protected areas of the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, with a relatively intact large fish fauna (Graham et al., 2003), yet, this phase shift has persisted for over 5 years, representing 5–35 generations of these cryptobenthic fishes.”
Predators drive community structure in coral reef fish assemblages (2015, background): “Furthermore, with the exclusion of Graham et al. 2003, all of these studies involve fisheries where fishes from multiple trophic levels are targeted, which can increase the difficulty of detecting top-down effects.”
Phase shifts and the role of herbivory in the resilience of coral reefs (2007, background): “…on coral reefs and the variable role of predation in structuring reef fish communities mean that spatial closures do not have a consistent effect on the numerical abundance and biomass of herbivores (Jennings and Polunin 1997; Graham et al. 2003, 2005; Dulvy et al. 2004; Mumby et al. 2006b).”
Multiple disturbances and the global degradation of coral reefs: are reef fishes at risk or resilient? (2006, background): “Small-bodied prey fish may be depleted by predators on reefs (Graham et al., 2003), and this applies to smaller life history stages of all species (Dulvy et al.”
Appraisal of visual assessments of habitat complexity and benthic composition on coral reefs (2007, methodology): “This technique was used as standard and stepwise regression may give spurious results when predictor variables are correlated ( Graham 2003 ).”
Size structural change in lightly exploited coral reef fish communities: Evidence for weak indirect effects (2004, background): “Low densities of a piscivorous grouper (Plectropomus leopardus) were associated with higher densities of their prey fishes on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia (Graham et al. 2003).”
Exploitation and habitat degradation as agents of change within coral reef fish communities (2008, background): “Jennings & Polunin, 1997) and may relate to prey preferences of particular species (Graham et al., 2003).”
