The influence of habitat and adults on the spatial distribution of juvenile coralsMarch 28, 2020ABSTRACT Population distributions are affected by a variety of spatial processes, including dispersal, intraspecific dynamics and habitat selection. Within reef‐building coral communities, these processes are especially important during the earliest life stages when reproduction provides mobility among sessile organisms and populations experience the greatest mortality... -
Foraging consistency of coral reef fishes across environmental gradients in the central PacificMarch 27, 2020ABSTRACT We take advantage of a natural gradient of human exploitation and oceanic primary production across five central Pacific coral reefs to examine foraging patterns in common coral reef fishes. Using stomach content and stable isotope (δ15N and δ13C) analyses, we examined consistency across islands...

NEW PUBLICATION: SIZE-STRUCTURAL SHIFTS REVEAL INTENSITY OF EXPLOITATION IN CORAL REEF FISHERIESSeptember 1, 2019Check out the newest publication from the Sandin Lab. Size-structural shifts reveal intensity of exploitation in coral reef fisheries, co-authored by Drs. Brian Zgliczynski and Stuart Sandin. Download PDF here! Highlights: Biomass spectra are robust indicators for examining the effects of fisheries. Reef fisheries often target only a subset size...
