A world-first study has found that petroleum-based oil, even in small amounts, causes coral reef fishes to engage in risky behaviours, endangering both their lives and the health of the reefs around t
The Achilles heel of coral growth is high temperatures, not ocean acidification, according to researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies and The University of Western Austral
A new study has ingeniously reconstructed a 103-year record of the Queensland east coast Spanish Mackerel spawning fishery, and revealed that catch rates have declined by 70 per cent over the past 80
Scientists have discovered that a fish species has evolved highly specialised self-lubricating lips to help them feed from razor-sharp corals. Professor David Bellwood, from the ARC Centre of Excel
Abstract. Protected areas provide a corner-stone in efforts to conserve biodiversity in the face of ongoing habitat loss and degradation. Existing protected area networks need to be greatly expanded i
Abstract. Spatial nutrients subsidies between ecosystems can be key to ecosystem structure and productivity. For example, seabirds feeding in the open ocean can deposit large quantities of nutrients o
Abstract. Coral reefs are some of the most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet and are extremely important ecologically, economically, socially and scientifically. Spurs and grooves are a common feat
Abstract. Conservation problems are inherently complex with effective solutions dependent on the ability to integrate and apply diverse concepts, approaches, and tools. Here, I describe how we have us
Abstract. The finance sector has been attracting significant attention in the media lately for their support, or lack thereof, for projects that are expected to exacerbate the problem of climate chang
Abstract. In response to domination of social impact analyses by economists, a model was developed which was originally referred to as a “non-economic social impact analysis” model, or NESIA. Re
Abstract. Mass mortality of several mollusc species occurs regularly in the summer months in natural and cultured environments worldwide. Termed ‘summer mortality,’ this condition is known to im
Abstract. Shallow-water seascapes are composed of a mosaic of different habitats (e.g. coral reef, seagrass beds, mangroves, macroalgae beds). Many reef-associated fishes use multiple habitat patches
