were compared to the different reef algae.
Strong genetic structuring of both coral host and the associated Symbiodinium was observed across the different reef habitats ('Back Reef' ∼2 m, 'Upper Slope' ∼6 m and 'Deep Slope' ∼27 m) and the results were consistent across all investigated loci.

The resort ferries guests around in its launches with instructors and guides to the different reefs in the region.
Using a specially constructed flume, they then exposed each fish to water samples from the different reefs and compared how long it spent in water from its home reef versus that of the other reefs.
To investigate whether skeletal extension varied over time (i.e., slopes were equal to "zero" for S. siderea within the three different reef zones), estimates of the rates of change in skeletal extension derived from the ARMA (1, 1) random intercepts model along with the 50% and 95% confidence intervals were displayed in a plot popularized by Gelman and Hill (2006) [35].
Establishing and comparing the history of skeletal extension for S. siderea across this inshore-offshore gradient enables us to infer whether colonies of S. siderea from different reef zones of the MBRS exhibit differing vulnerabilities to environmental stressors.
In particular, there are numerous confounding factors associated with global climate change and increased anthropogenic stress that must be considered in order to better understand the ecophysiological and/or genetic basis for differential stress responses amongst corals inhabiting different reef zones of the MBRS.
This suggests fish groups may have different hearing capabilities or head for different reef conditions, say the researchers.
To conclude, the numerical results should benefit marine biologists and ocean engineers by revealing various flow patterns of different reef blocks layouts to consolidate the deployment strategy of artificial reefs.
A total of 209 specimens were collected from different reef depths during 2014.
However, to better understand the importance of coral to juvenile reef fish and the implications of coral decline, research needs to assess habitat specialization across a broader suite of species, considering different reef environments and locations [31].
