In the version of this Article originally published, a technical error meant two proof corrections were not actioned. In the sentence that started “Fishery changes were underpinned…”, a citation to ref. 9 was missing, and that to ref. 22 was misplaced. The sentence should have read: “Fishery changes were underpinned by species’ differential responses to the post-bleaching benthic trajectories, suggesting that projections for reef fisheries that are based on habitat-driven loss of fish biomass (for example ref. 9 ) have overlooked the potential for increased productivity of low trophic levels 22 , particularly browsing herbivores on regime-shifted reefs.” These errors have now been corrected in the Article. © 2018, Springer Nature Limited.
