Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…with low coral cover (sano et al. 1984). current estimates of the proportion of coral-reef fishes with apparent and direct reliance on live corals are 9–11% (Jones et al. 2004, Munday et al. 2007). of 1221 coral-reef fishes recorded on the GbR, Munday et al. (2007) estimated that 104 species (9”
Ratcheting Down the Coral Reefs (2004, background): “The positive effects of reduced fishing pressure can be overridden (Hutchings and Reynolds 2004, Jones et al. 2004).”
Coral mortality versus structural collapse as drivers of corallivorous butterflyfish decline (2009, background): “It is clear however, that species richness and abundance of certain groups of fishes may decline in direct response to coral loss (Sano et al. 1987; Jones et al. 2004; Garpe et al. 2006; Graham et al. 2006, 2008; Wilson et al. 2006, 2008a), but is restricted to highly specialist species that use cor”
Influence of habitat degradation on fish replenishment (2010, background): “Furthermore, many species of fish have been found to settle to hard coral habitats and use these as nursery areas (Jones et al. 2004).”
Predators drive community structure in coral reef fish assemblages (2015, background): “…threat from a myriad of stressors such as cyclones, nutrient runoff and sedimentation, and climate change impacts, all of which can have a strong effect on habitats and fish assemblages (Rogers et al. 1983, Hughes 1994, Hughes et al. 2003, Jones et al. 2004, De’ath et al. 2012, Wenger et al. 2012).”
Climate change and coral reef bleaching: An ecological assessment of long-term impacts, recovery trends and future outlook (2008, background): “On Indo-Pacific reefs, about 60% of early developmental stages associate with live coral (Jones et al., 2004).”
Structural complexity mediates functional structure of reef fish assemblages among coral habitats (2017, background): “…demonstrate the importance of habitat structure for reef fish taxonomic diversity and abundance (Graham and Nash 2013), fish body-size distributions (Wilson et al. 2010), trophic structure (Alvarez-Filip et al. 2011b), and habitat selection of recruits and juvenile fishes (Jones et al. 2004).”
Habitat loss, resource specialization, and extinction on coral reefs (2004, background): “…throughout their adult life, such as the coraldwelling gobies studied here, or species that use live coral at other critical life history stages (Jones et al., 2004), will be negatively impacted by the broad-scale r 2004 Blackwell Publishing Ltd, Global Change Biology, 10, 1642–1647 reduction…”
Coral bleaching and habitat degradation increase susceptibility to predation for coral-dwelling fishes (2009, background): “These changes in biological and habitat structurehavedevastating effects on thediversity andabundance ofmotile reef organisms, resulting in significant and widespread declines in the abundance of coral reef fishes (e.g., Kokita and Nakazono 2001; Jones et al. 2004; Graham et al. 2006; Pratchett et a”
Reef degradation and the loss of critical ecosystem goods and services provided by coral reef fishes (2014, background): “Reliance on live corals by coral reefs fishes is often greatest at settlement, where up to 65% of species settle amongst live coral [24].”
A comprehensive and comparative evaluation of primers for metabarcoding eDNA from fish (2020, background): “…proportion of the world's fish species is rapidly disappearing due to a myriad of factors including habitat disruption, over exploitation, climate change, pollution, infectious diseases and foreign species invasion (Jelks et al., 2008; Jeppesen et al., 2010; Jones et al., 2004; Reid et al., 2019).”
Planning the use of fish for food security in the Pacific (2009, background): “The main impediments are: (1) the diverse, multi-species nature of coastal fisheries [19], resulting in abundances of most species that seldom justify the investments in fisheries science needed to estimate sustainable yields; (2) differences in natural productivity among coastal areas within PICTs ”
Ongoing global biodiversity loss and the need to move beyond protected areas: a review of the technical and practical shortcomings of protected areas on land and sea (2011, background): “…2008), the quality of enforcement (e.g. Jennings et al. 1996, Kritzer 2004) or differences in the species assessed (e.g. harvested vs. non-harvested species [Micheli et al. 2004, Guidetti & Sala 2007] or species exposed to threats other than harvesting [Jones et al. 2004, Graham et al. 2008]).”
Phase shifts and the role of herbivory in the resilience of coral reefs (2007, background): “1996; Halpern 2003), they are not immune to the effects of large-scale external disturbances such as bleaching (Reaser et al. 2000; Jones et al. 2004).”
Early post-settlement mortality and the structure of coral assemblages (2010, background): “Moreover, scleractinian corals are the key habitat-forming and foundation species of coral reef ecosystems (Jones et al. 2004); therefore, understanding the processes that maintain their populations is of crucial importance given increasing rates of coral mortality on reefs globally (Hughes et al.…”
