Biodiversity enhances coral growth, tissue survivorship, and suppression of macroalgae

Coral reefs are declining dramatically and losing species richness, but the impact of declining biodiversity on coral well-being remains inadequately understood. Here, we demonstrate that lower coral species richness alone can suppress growth and survivorship of multiple species of corals (Porites c...
