We found that these emergent patterns of reef fish diversity are more closely associated with shifts in coral community composition than fluctuations in coral cover 🐠 🪸

Altered diversity patterns are characterised by heterogeneous changes in reef fish trophic groups across the latitudinal gradient with reductions
in omnivores, planktivores, and herbivores in the northern GBR, and increases in the southern regions.

Reef fish turnover continuously increased over time at all latitudes of the Great Barrier Reef and did not show evidence of a return 🐟

We found that the most documented pattern of life on Earth - the Latitudinal Diversity Gradient - has changed in shape over the last three decades, raising questions about whether these patterns are decoupling from their original underlying drivers 🐠

Ain't nice this nudibranch I found in Chagos Archipelago? 🌊

Someone can guess the specie?
