Larval settlement and juvenile group dynamics in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella)

Creator:: Booth, David J. (David John), 1958-
Abstract:: Patterns of settlement of larvae and population dynamics of juveniles are poorly known for coral reef fishes. During 1987 to 1989, I studied these phenomena in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella), a species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Larvae settle onto branching coral heads as new recruits (10-15 mm in...

Role of priority effects and habitat complexity in coral-reef fish communities

Creator:: Almany, Glenn R.
Abstract:: Understanding the processes that influence the composition of animal communities is a central goal in ecology. Interactions between established residents and colonizing juveniles that affect the subsequent survival of juveniles may influence community composition. In a series of experiments on coral reef fish communities in the Bahamas and Australia, I...

Factors affecting the dynamics and regulation of coral-reef fish populations

Creator:: Webster, Michael Scott
Abstract:: Ecologists have long questioned why fluctuating populations tend to persist rather than go extinct. Populations that persist indefinitely are regulated by mechanisms that cause demographic density dependence, which works to bound fluctuation above zero. In a series of studies, I have sought to determine the processes and mechanisms that regulate...

Population dynamics of coral-reef fishes : spatial variation in emigration, mortality, and predation

Creator:: Overholtzer-McLeod, Karen L.
Abstract:: Understanding the dynamics of open marine populations is difficult. Ecological processes may vary with the spatial structure of the habitat, and this variation may subsequently affect demographic rates. In a series of observational and experimental studies in the Bahamas, I examined the roles of emigration, mortality, and predation in the...

An evaluation of the likelihood of successful implementation of the long term coral reef monitoring program on the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands

Creator:: Kylstra, Pam
Abstract:: Coral reef ecosystems are the oceanic equivalent of tropical rainforests, in terms of biodiversity. The estimated 1,037,000 square kilometers worldwide of reef provide habitat for over one million species of plants and animals (Hinrichsen, 1997). Coral reefs are important to the economy of coastal nations because of the fisheries and...

A rapid ecological assesment (REA) of coral reefs and reef fishes of barrier islands within central Belize barrier reef complex utilizing the mesoamerican barrier reef systems (MBRS) protocol

Creator:: Gomez, Gianna M.
Abstract:: Rapid assessments are essential to establish baseline information of ecosystems that can be used to design management plans such as marine protected areas. A rapid ecological assessment was conducted to determine the conditions of coral reefs and reef fish around barrier islands that occur within the central Belize Barrier Reef...

Linkages between mangrove forests and coral reefs : quantifying disturbance effects and energy flow between systems

Creator:: Granek, Elise F.
Abstract:: Interface habitats are considered valuable natural systems, tightly linked to adjacent habitats through the flow of matter and energy. However, there is limited research on mechanisms of connectivity such as movement of organisms and particulate matter and ways in which anthropogenic disturbance to interface habitats may affect immediate and adjacent...

An Impact and Management Study of Taiwanese Artificial Reef Deployment

Creator:: Chuang, Ching-Ta, Guinea, Estuardo, and Kuo, Heng Hung
Abstract:: For the past decades, around 20% of the natural coral reefs were lost and > 20% more is currently deteriorating. Due to the recognition of positive impact to fishery resources enhancement by artificial reefs (ARs) deployment, Taiwanese government has started deploying ARs as a measure to improve the environment of...

Behavior and Ecological Effects of Invasive Lionfish on Atlantic Coral Reefs and Seagrass Beds

Creator:: Benkwitt, Cassandra E.
Abstract:: Although only a minority of introduced species become established and have noticeable consequences in their new communities, some can displace native species, alter food webs, and cause local extinctions. Studying these invasive species can provide new insights into basic ecological questions as well as inform management strategies. Pacific lionfish (Pterois...

Coral-reef fishes : insights into larval dispersal and invasion ecology

Creator:: Pusack, Timothy J.
Abstract:: Because many coral-reef fishes are observable in situ, are amenable to transplantation, have small home ranges and short generation times, they provide a excellent system to investigate many topics within general ecology, fisheries biology, and conservation biology. The primary goal of this dissertation was to use the coral-reef fishes system...
