Reef fish assemblages impacted by sponges overgrowing corals
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Numerous stressors are driving long‐term declines in coral cover on coral reefs, significantly impacting reef fish biodiversity and community structure. The benthic space made available by declining coral cover is often occupied by increases in other organisms, including macroalgae, encrusting ascidians, and sponges.

Lipoid liver disease and steatitis in a captive sapphire damsel, Pomacentrus pavo [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 2006 Background. Sapphire damselfish, Pomacentrus pavo (Bloch, 1787) (family Pomacentridae) are reef fish found in tropical and temperate oceans but also are popular aquaria species in commercial and private operations; yet, there remains a paucity of ...

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.

Extended exposure to elevated temperature affects escape response behaviour in coral reef fishes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2017 The threat of predation, and the prey’s response, are important drivers of community dynamics. Yet environmental temperature can have a significant effect on predation avoidance techniques such as fast-start performance observed in marine fishes.

The Tree of Chivalry and the Black Lady: Juana of Castile's 1496 Joyous Entry into Brussels☆
Renaissance Studies, Volume 40, Issue 3, Page 444-468, June 2026.Abstract Kupferstichkabinett MS 78D5 (Staatliche Museen Berlin) presents an iconographic account of the Joyous Entry of Juana of Castile into Brussels on 9 December 1496. In this article, we newly identify a rare visual record of a civic contribution to a tournament within the manuscript.

Refining a molecular tool kit to capture tropicalization in Mediterranean marine protected areas
Conservation Science and Practice, Volume 8, Issue 5, May 2026.We assess complementarity and trade‐offs between visual census and eDNA metabarcoding for monitoring fish community changes in MPAs. Abstract Tropicalization, the process by which tropical species expand their ranges poleward due to global ocean warming, is a prominent threat to Mediterranean marine ecosystems, challenging their effective management ...

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 5, Page 1483-1490, May 2026.Abstract Alternative male morphs are found in many species of fishes. These morphs often differ in suites of social behaviours, such as aggression and territoriality, associated with alternative reproductive tactics. Such consistent morph‐typical behavioural profiles suggest common differences in underlying neuroendocrine mechanisms.

‘Personality’ in two species of temperate damselfish [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2010 The extent and importance of consistent individual differences in behaviour, often referred to as 'personality' or 'temperament', is a relatively recent question in ecology. It indicates that animal behaviour is much less flexible than usually assumed, and suggests that individuals con- sistently differ in the way they perceive and react to changes in ...

Restoration Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 4, May 2026.Abstract Introduction Juvenile coral reef fish face an initial predation‐induced mortality bottleneck with mortality exceeding 60% within 48 hours of settlement. This intense predation, exacerbated by anthropogenic stressors, limits recruitment and contributes to global declines of reef fish populations. Post‐Larval Capture, Culture, and Release (PCCR),

Vessel noise affects routine swimming and escape response of a coral reef fish.
PLoS ONE, 2020 An increasing number of studies have shown that anthropogenic noise can negatively affect aspects of the anti-predator behaviour of reef fishes, potentially affecting fitness and survival.
