Effects of farming damselfish on herbivory and corallivory on Caribbean coral reefs
This project uses observational and experimental methods to characterize the diversity and variety of behaviours of corallivores, herbivores, and resident damselfish on Bahamian coral reefs. I will also quantify the effect of damselfish presence on rates of corallivory and herbivory within damselfish territories.
