Emergent patterns of reef fish diversity correlate with coral assemblage shifts along the Great Barrier Reef by F. Javier González-Barrios, Sally A. Keith, Michael J. Emslie, Daniela M. Ceccarelli, Gareth J. Williams, Nicholas A. J. Graham

“…Abstract Escalating climate and anthropogenic disturbances draw into question how stable large-scale patterns in biological diversity are in the Anthropocene. Here, we analyse how patterns of reef fish diversity have changed from 1995 to 2022 by examining local diversity and species dissimilarity along a large latitudinal gradient of the Great Barrier Reef and to what extent this correlates with changes in coral cover and coral composition. …”
