- Abstract
This article, titled "Hierarchical Drivers of Cryptic Biodiversity on Coral Reefs," explores the influence of habitat complexity and degradation on biodiversity, species distributions, and ecological functioning in coral reefs. While previous research has focused on large and conspicuous organisms, this study examines the abundance and diversity of invertebrates in reef erosion areas, specifically coral rubble. The researchers investigate the relative influence of broad seascape parameters and physical/biological characteristics at a microhabitat scale to understand the hierarchical organization patterns in rubble communities. The findings of this study are important as modern reefs transition from live-coral dominance to degraded states.
