The trophic status of herbivorous fishes on coral reefs
TLDR
Estimates of the abundance of the different groupings of nominally herbivorous fishes indicated that the dominant elements in the reef grazing and browsing fauna were consumers of detrital and sedimentary materials.

A functional analysis of grazing in parrotfishes (family Scaridae): the ecological implications
SynopsisThe assumption that parrotfishes represent a single group of grazing herbivores is addressed by morphological, functional and ecological analyses. This assumption is rejected. The 24 scarine…

The trophic status of herbivorous fishes on coral reefs
TLDR
It is concluded that a wide range of dietary items are taken by the 17 nominal herbivores, and that dietary groupings do not reflect taxonomic relationships.

Adaptive management of the Great Barrier Reef: A globally significant demonstration of the benefits of networks of marine reserves
TLDR
Comprehensive review of available evidence shows major, rapid benefits of no-take areas for targeted fish and sharks, in both reef and nonreef habitats, with potential benefits for fisheries as well as biodiversity conservation.

Limited functional redundancy in high diversity systems: resilience and ecosystem function on coral reefs
TLDR
The results emphasize the need to consider the functional role of species when formulating management strategies and the potential weakness of the link between biodiversity and ecosystem resilience.

Demographic plasticity in tropical reef fishes
TLDR
It is concluded that differences in body sizes across the continental shelf of the northern GBR are primarily determined by trends in growth, and density-dependent processes may be responsible for observed differences among localities.

An age-based demographic analysis of the Caribbean stoplight parrotfish Sparisoma viride
The parrotfish Sparisoma viride is an abundant and ecologically important member of the tropical NW Atlantic reef fish fauna. Sagittal otoliths of 417 individuals were analysed to estimate age-based…
