Associations between fishes (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) and anthozoans (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) in epipelagic waters based on in situ records. [PDF]
Abstract We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp.

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

The simple morphology of the sunfish heart. [PDF]
Jensen and Lauridsen describe the least curved vertebrate heart to date in seven specimens of Ocean sunfish. By comparison to multiple vertebrates, it is concluded that the highly unusual heart is a recent evolution that relates in part to the extraordinary shape of the body.

Soil and Water Pollution in Latin America and the Caribbean: A Systematic Review of Impacts on Ecosystems and Public Health. [PDF]
Background Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), a region of critical biodiversity and natural resources, faces escalating threats from anthropogenic soil and water pollution. While individual studies have documented contamination, a comprehensive synthesis of its impacts on ecosystems and public health across the region was lacking.

Rapid approach for assessing an unregulated fishery using a series of data‐limited tools
Abstract Objective Fisheries provide countless benefits to human populations but face many threats ranging from climate change to overfishing. Despite these threats and an increase in fishing pressure globally, most stocks remain unassessed and data limited.

Abstract Climate change can affect the habitat of marine species and hence their persistence and adaptation. Trends in area of occurrence and population biomass were examined for 177 fish and macroinvertebrates resident to the Northeast U.S. Continental Shelf ecosystem. Samples of these organisms were taken during a time series of research bottom trawl
