Marine ecological communities are exhibiting rapid change in response to human actions. This project aims to apply a newly developed statistical framework, and expects to uncover historical patterns in the emergence and persistence of new community states of two sets of marine taxa: reef-building coral, and marine plankton. Understanding how often marine communities shifted into these novel states in the absence of human activities, as well as the relative contribution of environmental and biological factors, will provide significant foundational knowledge. In addition, this project aims to provide flow-on benefits to environmental management to ensure ecosystems continue to provide beneficial services, which include fisheries and tourism.

海洋生态群落因人类活动而发生快速变化。该项目旨在应用新开发的统计框架，并期望揭示两组海洋类群（造礁珊瑚和海洋浮游生物）新群落状态的出现和持续存在的历史模式。了解在没有人类活动的情况下海洋群落转变为这些新状态的频率，以及环境和生物因素的相对贡献，将提供重要的基础知识。此外，该项目旨在为环境管理提供持续效益，以确保生态系统继续提供有益的服务，其中包括渔业和旅游业。
