FOR EXAMPLE
Introduction
•Coral Reefs declining worldwide
•Loss of important habitat for many species
•One cause: Competition with algae
•Coral cannot re-establish in areas where algae dominates
•Previous studies show Herbivores on algae (sea urchins or snails) may help coral
•Herbivore exclusion experiments: increase algae, increase coral death
•Herbivore inclusion: increases coral growth
•Unknown: Benefits of herbivores may vary between different substrates & herbivore species
•Questions: Does type of herbivore impact coral recruitment/growth? Does type of substrate impact coral recruitment/growth?
