Although positive correlations between habitat diversity and the diversity of associated animals are often observed, the underlying mechanisms are only starting to emerge and have never been specifically tested in the marine environment. Scleractinian corals constitute the primary habitat-forming organisms on coral reefs and as such play an important role in structuring associated reef fish communities. Using the same field experiment in two locations differing in regional fish species composition, we directly tested the effects of coral species richness and composition on the diversity, abundance and structure of the local fish community. Coral species richness overall had a positive effect on fish species richness, but no effect was found on total fish abundance or evenness. At both locations, certain coral species alone supported similar levels of fish diversity and abundance compared to treatments of higher coral species richness, suggesting that particular coral species are important in promoting high local fish diversity. Furthermore, different microhabitats (coral species) at both locations supported very different fish communities, indicating that most reef fish species distinguish coral habitat at the level of coral species. Fish communities colonizing treatments of higher coral species richness represented a combination of those inhabiting the constituent coral species. These findings suggest that mechanisms underlying habitat-animal interaction in the terrestrial environment also apply to marine systems and highlight the importance of coral diversity to local fish diversity. The loss of key coral species is likely to have a disproportionate impact on the biodiversity of associated fish communities.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">12</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTER.2011-86142</style></accession-num></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Wilson, S.K.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Depczynski, M.</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Feary, D.

Scientists that had published three or more papers on the effects of climate and environmental factors on reef fishes were invited to submit five questions that, if addressed, would improve our understanding of climate change effects on coral reef fishes. Thirty-three scientists provided 155 questions, and 32 scientists scored these questions in terms of: (i) identifying a knowledge gap, (ii) achievability, (iii) applicability to a broad spectrum of species and reef habitats, and (iv) priority. Forty-two per cent of the questions related to habitat associations and community dynamics of fish, reflecting the established effects and immediate concern relating to climate-induced coral loss and habitat degradation. However, there were also questions on fish demographics, physiology, behaviour and management, all of which could be potentially affected by climate change. Irrespective of their individual expertise and background, scientists scored questions from different topics similarly, suggesting limited bias and recognition of a need for greater interdisciplinary and collaborative research. Presented here are the 53 highest-scoring unique questions. These questions should act as a guide for future research, providing a basis for better assessment and management of climate change impacts on coral reefs and associated fish communities.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">6</style></issue><accession-num><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">LTER.2010-83546</style></accession-num></record></records></xml>
