Effects of climate-induced coral bleaching on coral-reef fishes - ecological and economic consequences (2008, background): “…undesirable algal-dominated habitats (hughes et al. 2003, bellwood et al. 2004). other important species are keystone predators that regulate the deleterious effects of prey species (e.g., Mcclanahan 2000, Dulvy et al. 2004) or fulfil unique but critical ecological functions (bellwood et al. 2003).”
Three lines of evidence to link outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns seastar Acanthaster planci to the release of larval food limitation (2010, background): “Dulvy et al. (2004) have suggested a relationship between A.”
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., 2004b).”
Socioeconomic factors that lead to overfishing in small-scale coral reef fisheries of Papua New Guinea (2006, methodology): “These contrasting results may be explained by several methodological factors, namely (1) we used catch characteristics rather than underwater visual censuses of resource conditions, (2) we used population per area of shallow water fishing ground rather than population per length of barrier reef fron”
Differential movement patterns and site fidelity among trophic groups of reef fishes in a Hawaiian marine protected area (2010, background): “If MPAs are too small, then resident fishes will frequently roam into fished areas where they may be captured, thereby eroding longterm MPA benefits ( DeMartini 1993; Rakitin and Kramer 1996; Nowlis and Roberts 1999; Meyer 2003).”
The evidence for Allee effects (2009, background): “…s) 5.211 f evidence for a critical density due to the Allee effect: b Liebhold and Bascompte 2003 (ln rt = log per capita growth rate, xt = density), c Dulvy et al. 2004, d Wittmer et al. 2005, e Clutton-Brock et al. 1999, f Chen et al. 2002 themselves then the density represented a negative…”
Comparative Effects of Different Disturbances in Coral Reef Habitats in Moorea, French Polynesia (2011, background): “However, on the Great Barrier Reef, it is suggested that outbreaks result from increased nutrient loads [100] and/or overfishing of predatory fishes [101, 102].”
Guiding ecological principles for marine spatial planning (2010, background): “Species diversity, from local to global scales, can affect multiple ecosystem functions including maintenance of productivity [31,37], resistance to and recovery from perturbations [38,39], capacity to maintain functional redundancies within an ecosystem [40,41], and stable food web dynamics [42,43]”
Gear-based fisheries management as a potential adaptive response to climate change and coral mortality (2009, background): “Some fish have key ecological roles on reefs because their feeding activities help to prevent or reverse phase shifts to algal-dominated reefs (Bellwood, Hughes & Hoey 2006a; Hughes et al . 2007), or control species that prey on corals ( Dulvy, Freckleton & Polunin 2004 ).”
A boom–bust phylum? Ecological and evolutionary consequences of density variations in echinoderms (2009, background): “The number of COTS in small islands off Fiji was positively correlated to fishing pressure on several fish species that may prey on juvenile sea stars (Dulvy et al. 2004).”
Methods of assessing extinction risk in marine fishes. (2004, background): “for functionality, stability or resilience (Bellwood et al. 2003; Dulvy et al. 2004), than the loss of a small number of individuals of a rare species.”
The non-linear relationship between body size and function in parrotfishes (2008, background): “In many places coral reefs have exceeded their regenerative capacity (Bellwood et al. 2004) causing dramatic shifts in benthic community structure and composition, commonly referred to as phase-shifts ( Done 1992; Hughes 1994), that seem long lasting and diYcult to reverse once manifested (McClanah”
