What does resilience sound like? Coral reef and dry forest acoustic communities respond differently to Hurricane Maria

Disturbance regimes and biodiversity—two factors that govern the stability of ecosystems—are changing rapidly due to anthropogenic forces including climate change. Determining whether ecosystems retain their structure and function through intensifying disturbance regimes is an urgent task. However,...
