The paper shows that adult coral abundance and reef structure independently increase juvenile coral recruitment, supporting assemblage-level niche construction.

This study examines how light availability varies with reef surface complexity, finding that increased rugosity reduces light availability at local scales.

The paper quantifies global coral reef ecosystem functions using metabolic models and surveys, revealing a continuous functional spectrum influenced by climate and human factors.

This study tracks morphological development in stony corals using photogrammetry, revealing that small colonies diverge along growth-form-specific trajectories while massive corals maintain stable shapes.

This study evaluates changes in fish food web topology and functioning over time, finding increased connectance, generalism, and decreased modularity, which affect ecosystem functions and human well-being.

habtools is an R package that calculates 3D metrics for surfaces and objects, aiming to improve the analysis of complex 3D data in biology and ecology.
