More than 40% of individual corals monitored around One Tree Island reef bleached by heat stress and damaged by flesh-eating disease

Life on the Great Barrier Reef is undergoing big changes in the face of climate change and other human-caused pressures, a new study reveals.

Coral reefs have been severely affected by anthropogenic stress. Using long term data from the Great Barrier Reef, this study found temporal changes in the latitudinal diversity gradient, and stronger...

The team found that the diversity of fish communities across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have changed dramatically since the 1990s.

A study aimed at revealing the role of small-scale fisheries in sustainable development shows they provide at least 40% of the global fishing catch and affect the livelihoods of 1 in 12 people in the ...

The team found that the diversity of fish communities across the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) have changed dramatically since the 1990s.

Fish communities living on the Great Barrier Reef today are "substantially different" to those that lived there in the 1990s, new study finds

Life on the Great Barrier Reef is undergoing big changes in the face of climate change and other human-caused pressures, a new study, led by researchers at Lancaster University, reveals.

Assessing coral reefs across the inner Seychelles islands, using a 28-year dataset, we document faster coral recovery from the 2016 than the 1998 marine heatwave events. Further, a reef that had regi....

We explore how integrating behavioural ecology and macroecology can provide fundamental new insight into both fields, with particular relevance for understanding ecological responses to rapid environmental change. We outline the field of macrobehaviour, which aims to unite these disciplines explicitly, and highlight examples of research in this space. Macrobehaviour can be envisaged as a spectrum, where behavioural ecologists and macroecologists use new data and borrow tools and approaches from one another. At the heart of this spectrum, interdisciplinary research considers how selection in the context of large-scale factors can lead to systematic patterns in behavioural variation across space, time, and taxa, and in turn, influence macroecological patterns and processes. Macrobehaviour has the potential to enhance forecasts of future biodiversity change.
