Funded Activity Summary
Metapopulation dynamics of coral communities on the Great Barrier Reef. Mathematical models for the dynamics of coral metapopulations on the Great Barrier Reef will be formulated and parameterised. Analysis of the models will focus on how the effects of competition between corals with different growth forms are influenced by other processes that generate spatial and temporal environmental variation. The project aims to understand how these factors influence the maintenance of high diversity in coral communities. It will also provide a modelling framework for predicting how that diversity will be affected by long-term environmental changes, making an important contribution to conservation and management of the Great Barrier Reef.Funded Activity Details
