The paper compares coral population size structures between tropical and high-latitude marginal reefs, finding fewer but larger colonies in marginal reefs under higher environmental stress.

The paper examines how coral assemblages at higher latitudes prioritize short-term potential over long-term performance, affecting their resilience to climate variability.

The paper identifies novel ecological communities and quantifies their dynamics, finding increased extinction and shift risks during transitions.
