ArticleLenihan, Hunter S.We wounded Pocillopora verrucosa to simulate injury caused by fish corallivores, and then evaluated impacts of this damage on coral performance under different temperatures (26.6 and 29.6°C) and flow speeds (6 and 21 cm s–1) in microcosms. Colony grow . . .

ArticleSteele, Mark A.An active debate has focused on whether patterns in the abundance of reef fishes are primarily determined by the supply of larvae or by subsequent interactions occurring on the reef. By manipulating the presence of predators and the density of older c . . .

Masters ThesisHeath, Sacha K.Phytophagous arthropod consumption by birds and bats has been shown to initiate top-down cascading effects that reduce plant damage or accelerate plant growth in terrestrial ecosystems. Birds and bats attracted to ecological restoration sites can pote . . .
