Abstract
Cheng-Han Tsai studied deterministic versus stochastic variation in relative species abundance of reef fishes on the Great Barrier Reef. He found that reef fish assemblages are highly niche-structured by deterministic species differences, and this niche importance depend strongly on volatility in coral cover. Such covariation between niche importance and environmental volatility also influence the relationship between diversity and ecosystem stability among coral reefs.
