Diversity on the edge: non-linear patterns of coral community structure at an isolated oceanic island

Coral communities are expected to display predictable patterns of diversity and structure across depth and exposure gradients, yet these predictions have rarely been tested at oceanic locations. Here we tested 5 common ecological predictions about coral community structure at the remote Chrismas Isl...
