DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2977
Abstract: Abstract Changes in species’ trophic niches due to habitat degradation can affect intra‐ and interspecific competition, with implications for biodiversity persistence. Difficulties of measuring species’ interactions in the field limit our comprehension of competition outcomes… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marpolbul.2019.03.011
Abstract: Epinephelus areolatus and Siganus canaliculatus are two species of fisheries importance associated with vegetated habitats, which are in turn threatened by human activities such as land filling. We tested their associations with vegetated habitats in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41598-019-51798-2
Abstract: Coral reefs are degrading globally leading to a catastrophic loss of biodiversity. While shifts in the species composition of communities have been well documented associated with habitat change, the mechanisms that underlie change are often… read more here.

Habitat degradation disrupts neophobia in juvenile coral reef fish

DOI: 10.1111/gcb.13393
Abstract: Habitat degradation not only disrupts habitat-forming species, but alters the sensory landscape within which most species must balance behavioural activities against predation risk. Rapidly developing a cautious behavioural phenotype, a condition known as neophobia, is… read more here.
