Successful management and protection of marine species depends on understanding the processes that control the biodiversity of marine communities at both local and regional scales. This study will develop a general model to predict the response of reef fish communities to declining habitat structure and diversity across the tropical Pacific Ocean. Using expertise and ecological tools developed in Australia, and in collaboration with scientists working on the other side of the Pacific, this project will develop a broad-scale understanding of the threats to coral reefs and play a leading role in the development of marine-biodiversity management plans for Australia and neighbouring regions.

海洋物种的成功管理和保护取决于了解在地方和区域两级控制海洋生物多样性的过程。这项研究将建立一个通用模型，预测珊瑚礁鱼类群落对整个热带太平洋栖息地结构和多样性下降的反应。该项目将利用澳大利亚开发的专门知识和生态工具，并与在太平洋另一边工作的科学家合作，广泛了解珊瑚礁面临的威胁，并在澳大利亚和邻近区域制定海洋生物多样性管理计划方面发挥主导作用。
