Diversity among Macroalgae-Consuming Fishes on Coral Reefs: A Transcontinental Comparison

Despite high diversity and abundance of nominally herbivorous fishes on coral reefs, recent studies indicate that only a small subset of taxa are capable of removing dominant macroalgae once these become established. This limited functional redundancy highlights the potential vulnerability of coral...
