Gut throughput rate and satiation of the invasive Lionfish (Pterois volitans) and its potential impact on an endemic, endangered Labrid fish Halichoeres socialis [PDF]
, 2017 The invasive Indo-Pacific Lionfish Pterois volitans has been recognized as a severe threat to indigenous fish species on Caribbean reefs. Previous studies have identified an extensive variety of Caribbean fishes in the stomachs of lionfish, but few have ...

Limited Dispersal of Benthic Environmental DNA From a Subtropical Mesophotic Shelf‐Edge Bank
Environmental DNA, Volume 7, Issue 5, September–October 2025.We investigated the vertical and horizontal dispersion of eDNA away from an isolated mesophotic coral reef (Bright Bank) in stratified offshore waters. We found that vertical transport of benthic eDNA was limited by water column stratification and that the prevalence of eDNA from benthic invertebrates declined with horizontal distance away from the ...

Large marine protected areas can encompass movements of diverse megafauna
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 62, Issue 9, Page 2454-2463, September 2025.Our results provide clear evidence for the value of the large scale of the Chagos Archipelago very large marine protected area (VLMPA) for protection of taxonomically diverse mobile megafauna. Further, we highlight the value of the VLMPA approach as a strategy towards achieving 30% ocean protection by 2030.

Xanthichthys greenei, a new species of triggerfish (Balistidae) from the Line Islands
Biodiversity Data Journal, 2013 Xanthichthys greenei sp. n. is described from six specimens, 97-154 mm standard length (SL) collected from mesophotic coral ecosystems (90-100 m) at Kiritimati (Christmas Island), Line Islands, part of the Republic of Kiribati in the Central Pacific. Of

The impact of CO2 emissions on 'nuisance' marine species [PDF]
, 2015 Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are being taken up from the atmosphere by the oceans, increasing the availability of dissolved inorganic carbon but reducing both the carbonate saturation and pH of seawater.

Underwater Imagery Reveals Bryozoan Habitat in Western Port, South‐East Australia
Austral Ecology, Volume 50, Issue 9, September 2025.Bryozoan habitats throughout the world and in Australia are rare, unique and fragile ecosystems at risk of anthropogenic disturbance. Here we describe new bryozoan habitats in Western Port, an Australian RAMSAR site near Melbourne, which do not feature in previous ecological descriptions and current habitat mapping available for the region.

Fish ecology of mesophotic coral ecosystems
, 2017 Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs; reefs 30-150 m depth) are largely unstudied. This thesis uses the shallow reef to MCE depth gradient around Utila, Honduras, to address research questions in three themes: (i) understanding fish community ecological processes on MCEs; (ii) evaluating effective survey techniques for MCE fish research; and (iii ...

Octocoral Sexual Reproduction: Temporal Disparity Between Mesophotic and Shallow-Reef Populations
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018 Mesophotic coral-reef ecosystems (MCEs) are light-dependent communities occurring at 30 to ∼150 m depth in the clear waters of tropical and sub-tropical regions.
