These assessments are crucial for avoiding the loss of key functional groups that sustain ecosystem processes and services. We developed a novel predictive framework of species extinction vulnerability and applied it to coral reef fishes. Although relatively few coral reef fishes are at risk of global extinction from climate disturbances, a negative convex relationship between fish species locally vulnerable to climate change vs. fisheries exploitation indicates that the entire community is vulnerable on the many reefs where both stressors co-occur. Fishes involved in maintaining key ecosystem functions are more at risk from fishing than climate disturbances. This finding is encouraging as local and regional commitment to fisheries management action can maintain reef ecosystem functions pending progress towards the more complex global problem of stabilizing the climate. specialized additive effects climate change coral reef ecology ecosystem function fisheries multiple stressors resilience synergy 036 021 14 4 341-348 2011 1461-023X https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053382 10.1111/j.1461-0248.2011.01592.x 1461-023X [F B010053382] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010053382 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/intranet/publi/2011/03/010053382.pdf Accès réservé (Intranet de l'IRD) IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2011-04-07 2017-08-23 fdi:010053382 fre
