More coral, more fish? Contrasting snapshots from a remote Pacific atoll [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Coral reefs are in decline across the globe as a result of overexploitation, pollution, disease and, more recently, climate change. The impacts of changes in coral cover on associated fish communities can be difficult to predict because of the uneven ...

Regional Endothermy in a Coral Reef Fish?
PLoS ONE, 2012 Although a few pelagic species exhibit regional endothermy, most fish are regarded as ectotherms. However, we document significant regional endothermy in a benthic reef fish. Individual steephead parrotfish, Chlorurus microrhinos (Labridae, formerly Scaridae) were tagged and their internal temperatures were monitored for a 24 h period using active ...

Ocular media transmission of coral reef fish — can coral reef fish see ultraviolet light?
Vision Research, 2001 Many coral reef fish are beautifully coloured and the reflectance spectra of their colour patterns may include UVa wavelengths (315-400 nm) that are largely invisible to the human eye (Losey, G. S., Cronin, T. W., Goldsmith, T. H., David, H., Marshall, N. J., & McFarland, W.N. (1999). The uv visual world of fishes: a review. Journal of Fish Biology, 54,

Multi-Scale Coral Reef and Seascape Habitat Variables Combine to Influence Reef Fish Assemblages
FishesWhile benthic characteristics of coral reef habitats are a major driver of the structure of coral reef fish assemblages, non-reef habitats adjacent to coral reefs (e.g., mangroves, seagrass beds, and macroalgal beds) can affect reef fish assemblages ...

Biophysical and anthropogenic influences on the status of Tonga's coral reefs and reef fish fishery.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Despite increasing threats to Tonga's coral reefs from stressors that are both local (e.g. overfishing and pollution) and global (e.g. climate change), there is yet to be a systematic assessment of the status of the country's coral reef ecosystem and ...
