Fauna and flora of the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area : a compendium of information and basis for the species conservation program in the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority: second edition [PDF]
, 2004 The way in which the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority (GBRMPA) manages for the conservation of species in the GBRMP is determined mainly by legislative instruments and policy decisions, which are supported by education and enforcement.

Mating systems and sexual selection in male-pregnant pipefishes and seahorses: insights from microsatellite-based studies of maternity. [PDF]
, 2001 In pipefishes and seahorses (family Syngnathidae), the males provide all postzygotic care of offspring by brooding embryos on their ventral surfaces. In some species, this phenomenon of male "pregnancy" results in a reversal of the usual direction of ...

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications
Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 1852-1867, December 2025.Abstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

Comparative developmental osteology of the seahorse skeleton reveals heterochrony amongst Hippocampus sp. and progressive caudal fin loss [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Seahorses are well known for their highly derived head shape, prehensile tail and armoured body. They belong to the family of teleosts known as Syngnathidae, which also includes the pipefishes, pipehorses and seadragons. Very few studies have

Biparental immune priming in the pipefish Syngnathus typhle
Zoology, 2016 The transfer of immunity from parents to offspring (trans-generational immune priming (TGIP)) boosts offspring immune defence and parasite resistance. TGIP is usually a maternal trait. However, if fathers have a physical connection to their offspring, and if offspring are born in the paternal parasitic environment, evolution of paternal TGIP can become

Effects of live-bait shrimp trawling on seagrass beds and fish bycatch in Tampa Bay, Florida [PDF]
, 1999 The use of live shrimp for bait in recreational fishing has resulted in a controversial fishery for shrimp in Florida. In this fishery, night collections are conducted over seagrass beds with roller beam trawls to capture live shrimp, primarily ...

Trans-generational plasticity in response to immune challenge is constrained by heat stress [PDF]
, 2017 Trans-generational plasticity is the adjustment of phenotypes to changing habitat conditions that persist longer than the individual lifetime. Fitness benefits (adaptive TGP) are expected upon matching parent-offspring environments.

Rapid decreases in relative testes mass among monogamous birds but not in other vertebrates [PDF]
, 2019 Larger testes produce more sperm and therefore improve reproductive success in the face of sperm competition. Adaptation to social mating systems with relatively high and low sperm competition are therefore likely to have driven changes in relative ...
