A framework and review of evidence of the importance of coral reefs for marine birds in tropical ecosystems

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 14, Issue 8, August 2024.
We reviewed the dependence of marine birds on coral reefs, with a focus on trophic relationships. We found evidence for only a few avian species, particularly the Eastern Reef Egret, depending directly on reefs. Birds nonetheless interact with reef and reef‐based food webs in a diversity of ways, many of which are poorly understood and under‐studied ...

Diversity and function of fluorescent molecules in marine animals

open access: yesBiological Reviews, Volume 99, Issue 4, Page 1391-1410, August 2024.
ABSTRACT Fluorescence in marine animals has mainly been studied in Cnidaria but is found in many different phyla such as Annelida, Crustacea, Mollusca, and Chordata. While many fluorescent proteins and molecules have been identified, very little information is available about the biological functions of fluorescence.

Molecular diet analysis of Anguilliformes leptocephalus larvae collected in the western North Pacific.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Natural diets of leptocephalus larvae have been enigmatic. In this study, we collected DNA samples from the gut contents and body surface of leptocephali belonging to the five Anguilliform families (Anguillidae, Chlopsidae, Congridae, Muraenidae, and ...

Tracking shifts in Society Islands marine subsistence through time: Intra‐site analysis of faunal remains and fishing gear

open access: yesArchaeology in Oceania, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 198-218, July 2024.
Abstract We discuss new data from Colonization Phase and Early Expansion/Development Phase assemblages in the pre‐contact Society Islands. We focus on analysis of marine faunal remains and fishing gear to infer diachronic shifts in subsistence practices at two well‐dated coastal sites. Both Colonization Phase (AD 950–1200) and Early Expansion Phase (AD

Chromosomes of Gymnothorax funebris and the karyotypical differentiation within Gymnothorax (Anguilliformes: Muraenidae)

open access: yesGenetics and Molecular Research, 2014
Cytogenetic studies in Gymnothorax funebris revealed a diploid chromosome number 2n = 42 (6 metacentrics, 4 submetacentrics, and 32 acrocentrics, FN = 52). The results obtained are novel and similar to those previously described for species belonging to Muraenidae family.

Distribution and stable isotope ratio characteristics of Japanese eel leptocephali in relation to hydrographic structure of their Pacific Ocean spawning area

open access: yesFisheries Oceanography, Volume 33, Issue 4, July 2024.
Abstract To understand the larval distribution, size variation, and stable isotope ratios of Japanese eel leptocephali in relation to the salinity front and their feeding ecology, larvae from 7 research cruises (2002–2013) in the North Equatorial Current (NEC) spawning area were examined.
