The complete mitogenome dataset of the Critically Endangered estuarine pipefish, Syngnathus watermeyeri [PDF]
Data in BriefThe Critically Endangered South African estuarine pipefish, Syngnathus watermeyeri, is one of the rarest teleost fish on the planet. In this analysed dataset, the complete mitochondrial genome of this species was assembled, annotated, and described.

Stigmatopora harastii, a new species of pipefish in facultative associations with finger sponges and red algae from New South Wales, Australia (Teleostei, Syngnathidae) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2020 A new species of pipefish, Stigmatopora harastii sp. nov., is described based on the male holotype and two female paratypes, 136.3–145.5 mm SL, collected from red algae (sp.?) at 12 meters depth in Botany Bay, New South Wales (NSW), Australia.

Reconstruction of the complete mitogenomes of predator and prey from a faecal metagenomic dataset [PDF]
Data in BriefThe application of faecal DNA in genetic studies of wild populations minimises disturbances to their normal behaviours and body integrity. Here, I present an analysis of a metagenomic dataset generated from the faecal DNA of several specimens of the ...

Sound signatures and production mechanisms of three species of pipefishes (Family: Syngnathidae) [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Background. Syngnathid fishes produce three kinds of sounds, named click, growl and purr. These sounds are generated by different mechanisms to give a consistent signal pattern or signature which is believed to play a role in intraspecific and ...

Influence of estuarine hypoxia on feeding and sound production by two sympatric pipefish species (Syngnathidae) [PDF]
Marine Environmental Research, 2007 This research utilizes the acoustic behavior of two sympatric pipefish species to assess the impact of hypoxia on feeding. We collected northern, Syngnathus fuscus, and dusky pipefishes, Syngnathus floridae, from the relatively pristine Chincoteague Bay, Virginia, USA and audiovisually recorded behavior in the laboratory of fish held in normoxic (>5 mg/
