Herbivory Through the Lens of Ecological Processes Across Pacific Coral Reefs

March 04, 2024

We provide a framework to calculate rates of herbivory across Pacific reefs. 

Coral reefs are in global decline primarily due to climate change. Herbivory is often viewed as key to maintaining coral-dominated reefs, and herbivore management is gaining traction as a possible strategy for promoting reef resilience. Here, we provide a framework to calculate rates of herbivory across Pacific reefs.
