Three main reef processes: reef-building potential, bioerosion, and herbivory, as well as their interactions, were examined in the Alacranes Reef System.

<p>The scenario where all the processes interact is given by reefs where a high reef-building potential -higher than bioerosion- maintains a rich and abundant assemblage of parrotfish and their specific functions, and herbivory keeps macroalgae at low levels. The scenario where reef-building p...
