  abstract = {{C}oral reefs and their associated fauna are largely impacted by ongoing climate change. {U}nravelling species responses to past climatic variations might provide clues on the consequence of ongoing changes. {H}ere, we tested the relationship between changes in sea surface temperature and sea levels during the {Q}uaternary and present-day distributions of coral reef fish species. {W}e investigated whether species-specific responses are associated with life-history traits. {W}e collected a database of coral reef fish distribution together with life-history traits for the {I}ndo-{P}acific {O}cean. {W}e ran species distribution models ({SDM}s) on 3,725 tropical reef fish species using contemporary environmental factors together with a variable describing isolation from stable coral reef areas during the {Q}uaternary. {W}e quantified the variance explained independently by isolation from stable areas in the {SDM}s and related it to a set of species traits including body size and mobility. {T}he variance purely explained by isolation from stable coral reef areas on the distribution of extant coral reef fish species largely varied across species. {W}e observed a triangular relationship between the contribution of isolation from stable areas in the {SDM}s and body size. {S}pecies, whose distribution is more associated with historical changes, occurred predominantly in the {I}ndo-{A}ustralian archipelago, where the mean size of fish assemblages is the lowest. {O}ur results suggest that the legacy of habitat changes of the {Q}uaternary is still detectable in the extant distribution of many fish species, especially those with small body size and the most sedentary. {B}ecause they were the least able to colonize distant habitats in the past, fish species with smaller body size might have the most pronounced lags in tracking ongoing climate change.},
