Abstract

Makeely Blandford investigated the effects of habitat fragmentation versus habitat loss, by studying fishes associated with coral habitats. She conducted field studies on the Great Barrier Reef and showed that habitat fragmentation has important and independent effects on reef fishes. This research is important for managing consequences of widespread and ongoing reef degradation.
