Spatial patterns in abundance of a damselfish reflect availability of suitable habitat
- S. Holbrook, G. Forrester, R. Schmitt
- Biology, Medicine
- Oecologia
- 18 January 2000
Abstract For species with metapopulation structures, variation in abundance among patches can arise from variation in the input rate of colonists. For reef fishes, variability in larval supply… Expand
Competition for shelter space causes density-dependent predation mortality in damselfishes
- S. Holbrook, R. Schmitt
- Biology
- 1 October 2002
The long-standing interest in density dependence in demographic rates of organisms stems from its influence in bounding population fluctuations and in shaping spatial patterns of abundance. Despite… Expand
Analysis of abrupt transitions in ecological systems
- B. Bestelmeyer, A. Ellison, +9 authors S. Sharma
- Environmental Science
- 1 December 2011
The occurrence and causes of abrupt transitions, thresholds, or regime shifts between ecosystem states are of great concern and the likelihood of such transitions is increasing for many ecological… Expand
CHANGES IN AN ASSEMBLAGE OF TEMPERATE REEF FISHES ASSOCIATED WITH A CLIMATE SHIFT
- S. Holbrook, R. Schmitt, J. Stephens
- Geography
- 1 November 1997
Substantial changes have occurred in assemblages of nearshore reef fishes in the Southern California Bight during the past two decades. At two sites off Los Angeles, California, species richness of… Expand
Effects of sheltering fish on growth of their host corals
- S. Holbrook, A. Brooks, R. Schmitt, Hannah L. Stewart
- Biology
- 10 September 2008
Stony corals are the foundation species of tropical reefs, and their structures can harbor a diverse range of mutualist taxa that can confer important benefits, including provision of nutrients.… Expand
Detection of Environmental Impacts: Natural Variability, Effect Size, and Power Analysis
- C. Osenberg, R. Schmitt, S. Holbrook, K. Abu-Saba, A. Flegal
- Environmental Science
- 1 February 1994
The power of any test of an environmental impact is simultaneously constrained by (1) the variability of the data, (2) the magnitude of the putative impact, and (3) the number of independent sampling… Expand
Herbivory, Connectivity, and Ecosystem Resilience: Response of a Coral Reef to a Large-Scale Perturbation
- T. Adam, R. Schmitt, +4 authors G. Bernardi
- Biology, Medicine
- PloS one
- 25 August 2011
Coral reefs world-wide are threatened by escalating local and global impacts, and some impacted reefs have shifted from coral dominance to a state dominated by macroalgae. Therefore, there is a… Expand
Symbiotic crabs maintain coral health by clearing sediments
- H. L. Stewart, S. Holbrook, R. Schmitt, A. Brooks
- Biology
- Coral Reefs
- 26 July 2006
Stony corals are the foundation of coral reef ecosystems and form associations with other reef species. Many of these associations may be ecologically important and play a role in maintaining the… Expand
Growth, reproduction and survival of a tropical sea anemone (Actiniaria): benefits of hosting anemonefish
- S. Holbrook, R. Schmitt
- Biology
- Coral Reefs
- 1 March 2005
The ecological performance of the sea anemone Heteractis magnifica was examined during a 36-month experiment with respect to season and the presence and numbers of a mutualist (orange-fin anemonefish… Expand
MORTALITY OF JUVENILE DAMSELFISH: IMPLICATIONS FOR ASSESSING PROCESSES THAT DETERMINE ABUNDANCE
- R. Schmitt, S. Holbrook
- Biology
- 1999
We examined the effects of variation in intra- and intercohort density on the magnitude and form of per capita juvenile mortality rates of three species of damselfish (Dascyllus spp.) at Moorea,… Expand
