2. 1. Habitat structure, degradation and management effects on coral reef fish communities

   Author : Saleh A.S. Yahya; Martin Gullström; Sören Nylin; Narriman Jiddawi; Yunus Mgaya; Gunilla Rosenqvist; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; fish assemblages; climate change; coral degradation; Indian Ocean; patch reefs; coral bleaching; resilience; zoologisk ekologi; Animal Ecology;

   Abstract : Coral reefs are among the most diverse and productive ecosystems on earth, and are critical to the survival of tropical marine ecosystems and sustenance of local human populations. However, coral reefs are quite vulnerable to disturbances, both natural and anthropogenic. READ MORE

4. 2. Exploring the resilience in coral reefs

   Author : Jerker Lokrantz; Magnus Nyström; Morgan Pratchett; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Coral Reefs; Resilience; Functional Groups; Vulnerability; Overfishing; Ecosystem Indicators; Tanzania; Zanzibar; Marine ecology; Marin ekologi; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

   Abstract : Considering the unprecedented global decline of coral reefs concerns about their future existence are well-justified. Safeguarding ecological resilience (i.e. the capacity of ecosystems to absorb disturbance without changing their identity) has become a prime goal for management in order to combat further degradation of coral reefs.

5. 3. Coral reefs in a human-dominated environment : implications of altered disturbance regimes and reduced resilience

   Author : Magnus Nyström; Terry Done; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Korallrev; Ekosystem i vatten; Marine Ecotoxicology; marin ekotoxikologi;

   Abstract : Coral reefs are facing an "Anthropocene " era where humans have advanced from a minor species with limited influence on coral reefs to a major source of disturbance. Disturbance arriving from human influences may not only interact with each other, but also with natural disturbance regimes, leading to synergistic effects. READ MORE

6. 4. Introduced and indigenous macroalgae : Ecological effects, functions and regulating factors in tropical seascapes

   Author : Maria Eggertsen; Christina Halling; Charlotte Berkström; Johan Eklöf; Jennifer Smith; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; macroalgae; introduced species; coral-algae interactions; nursery habitats; herbivory; Eucheuma denticulatum; tropical seascape; Marine Ecology; marin ekologi;

   Abstract : Tropical marine shallow-water areas are highly productive systems that promote important ecological functions and biodiversity. Stressors on these systems are intensifying due to increasing anthropogenic disturbances on multiple scales. READ MORE
