  abstract = {{C}oral reefs are experiencing declines due to climate change and local human impacts. {W}hile at a local scale these impacts induce biodiversity loss and shifts in community structure, previous biogeographical analyses recorded consistent taxonomic structure of fish communities across global coral reefs. {T}his suggests that regional communities represent a random subset of the global species and traits pool, whatever their species richness. {U}sing distributional data on 3586 fish species and latest advances in species distribution models, we show marked gradients in the prevalence of size classes and diet categories across the biodiversity gradient. {T}his divergence in trait structure is best explained by reef isolation during past unfavourable climatic conditions, with large and piscivore fishes better represented in isolated areas. {T}hese results suggest the risk of a global community re-organization if the ongoing climate-induced reef fragmentation is not halted.},
