“…The results from this study indicate that overall taxonomic richness and diversity, as well as the relative abundance of many reef-associated fishes, were generally highest for habitat types with the greatest relative vertical relief (e.g., ledges and fragmented hard bottom). These results largely corroborate the notion that, for many reef-associated taxa, overall diversity and species abundance are generally higher on high-relief reef habitats (Sluka et al 2001;Gledhill and David 2004;Koenig et al 2005;Harford et al 2016;McLean et al 2016). Given its importance as a correlate of abundance and reef-fish assemblage structure, vertical relief in some measure will be essential in developing an optimal habitat-based sampling strategy.…”

“…In order to test the predictions of earlier spatial studies (e.g., Barley et al, 2017b;Meekan, Cappo, Carleton, & Marriott, 2006;Ruppert et al, 2013), we compared both the pre-and postrecovery of communities of mesopredatory fishes at Ashmore Reef to other nearby reefs in the region that are either currently being fished (the Scott Reefs) and have low numbers of sharks or have been protected for almost three decades (the Rowley Shoals) and have relatively "pristine" predator communities. As habitat also influences reef fish communities (Darling et al, 2017;Fitzpatrick, Harvey, Heyward, Twiggs, & Colquhoun, 2012;Friedlander & Parrish, 1998;McLean et al, 2016;Valdivia et al, 2017) and likely drives predatorprey interactions (Ritchie & Johnson, 2009), we compared changes occurring in communities of mesopredatory fishes through time in both reef and near-reef environments at Ashmore Reef. Contrasts between these habitats may be particularly important given the growing evidence that reefs sharks and other predatory fish species can consume non-reef-based prey (Frisch, Ireland, & Baker, 2014;Frisch et al, 2016;McCauley et al, 2012).…”

“…We used likelihood ratio tests to evaluate the significance of model parameters, and adjusted p-values for multiple comparisons (Benjamini & Hochberg, 1995;Neyman & Pearson, 1933). To aid interpretation of model results, we assessed the relative support for each predictor by summing the AIC weights of all models including that term (Burnham & Anderson, 2002;McLean et al, 2016). We generated all figures using the package "ggplot2" in R (Wickham, 2009).…”
