DNA barcoding uncovers two putative new species in Trachelyopterus (Siluriformes: Auchenipteridae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Trachelyopterus is a cryptic genus within the Neotropical catfish family Auchenipteridae with a complex history of taxonomic revisions. Despite the notable morphological and genetic similarities among its species, some studies suggest that the genus harbours greater diversity than is currently recognized, including additional species yet to be

Impacts of predator odours and conspecific disturbance cues on minnow thermal tolerance

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Warming waters can affect fish community dynamics, potentially exacerbating predator–prey asymmetries in behavioural and physiological metrics of thermal tolerance. Further, differing responses of prey fish species to concurrent predation risk and warming highlight the need to understand these impacts in various contexts, especially with at ...

Association between a fish and box jellyfish during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Fish‐cubomedusa associations are less frequently reported than those involving scyphozoans and are typically limited to larval or juvenile fishes without an explicit predator context. Here, we report an adult fish associating with the cubozoan Morbakka sp. during an encounter with a carcharhinid shark at Magnetic Island, Australia. [Correction

When mesophotic meets shallow: First records of deep‐associated reef fishes in a well‐studied tropical bay under the influence of spring–summer upwelling

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We document the first records of reef fishes typically associated with mesophotic environments on shallow (<10 m) coral reefs inside a well‐studied tropical bay. The vermilion snapper Rhomboplites aurorubens and the pygmy angelfish Centropyge aurantonotus, usually restricted to deeper (>40 m) shelf habitats along the Brazilian coast, were ...

Cryptobenthic reef fishes may not be safe from invasive lionfish (Pterois spp. Oken, 1817)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Lionfish (Pterois spp.) are hypothesized to negatively influence cryptobenthic reef fish assemblages through predation. We evaluated these potential effects on Caribbean reefs in Costa Rica and tropical reefs in Brazil. Brazil provided a reference condition for cryptobenthic assemblages prior to lionfish invasion, while the Costa Rica sites ...
