A multilocus molecular phylogeny of combtooth blennies (Percomorpha: Blennioidei: Blenniidae): Multiple invasions of intertidal habitats

open access: yesMolecular Phylogenetics and Evolution, 2014
The combtooth blennies (f. Blenniidae) is a diverse family of primarily marine fishes with approximately 387 species that inhabit subtidal, intertidal, supralittoral habitats in tropical and warm temperate regions throughout the world. The Blenniidae has

Diet of combtooth blennies (Blenniidae) in Kochi and Okinawa, Japan

Ichthyological Research, 2013
Combtooth blennies (Blenniidae) have a wide array of diets, including coral polyps, fish scales/mucus/rays, and detritus. However, there is limited knowledge about the diet of some species. We described the diet of 30 blenny species from subtidal, intertidal, or supralittoral habitats in Kochi (warm temperate) and Okinawa (tropical), Japan.

A systematic review of the genus Chasmodes (Teleostei: Perciformes: Blenniidae)

Zootaxa, 2010
A systematic review of the Atlantic blenniid genus Chasmodes was conducted. Principal components analysis (PCA) of 18 box-truss measurements revealed little variation in overall body shape among the three recognized Chasmodes species. In contrast, PCA of six more standard ichthyological measurements and the number of segmented dorsal-fin rays showed ...

Biology of Omobranchus punctatus (Blenniidae) on rocky shores in Kuwait

1990
From July 1984 to June 1985, ecological and biological studies were carried out on the blenny Omobranchus punctatus, which inhabits rocky areas of the intertidal zone in Kuwait. Mean water temperatures ranged between 13.6°C and 26.9°C and salinity between 37.1‰ and 44.9‰.

Trophic status and feeding selectivity of blennies (Blenniidae: Salariini)

Marine Biology, 2000
An evaluation of the dietary resources available to, and selected by, blennies of the tribe Salariini was used to assess their trophic status on the Great Barrier Reef. Gut-content analysis of nine species of blennies found detrital aggregates to be the dominant item ingested. Samples of the dietary resources available to one of these species, Salarias

Multiscale habitat associations of detrivorous blennies (Blenniidae: Salariini)

Coral Reefs, 2001
The distribution and habitat associations of detrivorous blennies on a tropical coral reef were investigated at several spatial scales and compared with other fish that feed on the epilithic algal matrix to assess density and biomass contributions of small detrivorous fishes to these assemblages.
