“…Reduction in predatory fish, allied to less restrictive physical Oricchio, Pastro, et al, 2016;Osman & Whitlatch, 2004;Vieira et al, 2012), including introduced species (Freestone et al, 2013;Jurgens, Freestone, Ruiz, & Torchin, 2017;Kremer & Rocha, 2016). Instead, strategies to avoid predation by non-calcified organisms may rely on escape in time, with colonial animals being able to asexually regrow after predation when colony tissue is partially damaged (Hiebert, Vieira, Dias, Tiozzo, & Brown, 2019;Jackson, 1977;Jackson & Coates, 1986). The strategy of escape from predation in time may also explain why, in subtropical regions, predation does not reduce diversity.…”
