Fussy fish can have their coral, and eat it too
Being a fussy eater is a problem for reef fish who seek refuge from climate change on deeper reefs. But, scientists discovered, the coral that these fussy fish eat can support them.The study was l

Digital data generated by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies is managed according to the data management guidelines, policies and procedures of James Cook University, the University of Queensland, Australian National University and the University of Western Australia.
Our four node universities provide members of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies with training in the development and use of databases, catalogues and metadata to ensure that digital research data are retained in a durable, indexed and retrievable form.
Digital data and metadata generated by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies is shared via multiple platforms. These platforms include external online repositories and databases (e.g. GenBank, eAtlas, Dryad), data journals (e.g. Scientific Data) and the JCU, UQ, ANU and UWA online data repositories:
Tropical Data Hub James Cook University
UQ eSpace University of Queensland
ANU Data Commons Australian National University
UWA Research Repository University of Western Australia
The online data repositories of JCU, UQ, ANU and UWA are syndicated with the Australian Research Data Commons, and the associated metadata is made available via Research Data Australia to ensure that data is Managed, Connected, Discoverable and Reusable. Data loaded to the node’s online data repositories are provided with a DOI.

For our members
Members of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies must comply with the Centre’s Digital Data Management Policy and the research codes of conduct and data management policies and procedures of their institution. The focus of the Centre’s policy is on digital research data, but much of the information can also be applied to non-digital data.
Make sure to include “ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies” as a subject key word when loading your data to the JCU, UQ, ANU or UWA online data repositories. This will enable your data to appear in the Centre’s Research Data Australia (RDA) interface. Contact your university data librarian if you wish to expose data held in external repositories (e.g. GenBank, Dryad) via the Centre’s RDA interface.
There are many great resources available online on data management policy, procedure and practice. Check these out:
