The ecological importance of habitat complexity to the Caribbean coral reef herbivore Diadema antillarum: three lines of evidence
When Caribbean long-spined sea urchins, Diadema antillarum, are stable at high population densities, their grazing facilitates scleractinian coral dominance. Today, populations remain suppressed after a mass mortality in 1983–1984 caused a loss of their ecosystem functions, and led to widespread dec...
