Description
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the ecology of coral reef fishes presented by top researchers from North America
and Australia. Immense strides have been made over the past twenty years in our understanding of ecological systems in general and of
reef fish ecology in particular. Many of the methodologies that reef fish ecologists use in their studies will be useful to a wider audience
of ecologists for the design of their ecological studies. Significant among the impacts of the research on reef fish ecology are the
development of nonequilibrium models of community organization, more emphasis on the role of recruitment variability in structuring local
assemblages, the development and testing of evolutionary models of social organization and reproductive biology, and new insights into
predator-prey and plant-herbivore interactions.
Audience
Professional ecologists and graduate students, specialists in reef fishes and general ecologists interested in marine life, oceanographers, anyone studying coral reefs, and icthyologists.
