Draft genome of a porcupinefish, Diodon Holocanthus [PDF]

Journal of morphology, 2019
Abstract The long-spine porcupinefish, Diodon holocanthus (Diodontidae, Tetraodontiformes, Actinopterygii), also known as the freckled porcupinefish, attracts great interest of ecology and economy.

Use of Citizen Science to Determine Prey Partitioning Between Two Coastal Raptors. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
In Australia, Eastern Osprey (Pandion haliaetus cristatus) and White‐bellied Sea‐Eagle (Haliaeetus leucogaster) occupy the same ecological niche and are suspected of partitioning prey resources. This study investigated this through evaluating the breadth, overlap and partitioning of diets recorded from social media posts.

Assessment of a Social Media-Based Method for Determining Raptor Diet. [PDF]

Ecol Evol
This study mined social media as a citizen science method to reduce the time burden and biases associated with recording accurate diet information for predators. In total, 1985 prey observations were recorded of two Australian coastal raptors and were used to produce diet profiles that were compared by region, social media platform, and against other ...

Viral Nervous Necrosis due to Betanodavirus: A Case Study in Pot-Bellied Seahorses (Hippocampus abdominals). [PDF]

J Fish Dis
ABSTRACT Betanodaviruses, members of the Nodaviridae family, are the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis in fish, resulting in great economic losses worldwide. This is the first case study describing the detection and confirmation of viral nervous necrosis in pot‐bellied seahorses (Hippocampus abdominalis) in Australia.

Patterns and Processes of Genomic Evolution Inferred From the Ten Smallest Vertebrate Genomes. [PDF]

Adv Sci (Weinh)
By integrating phylogenetic relationships derived from nuclear DNA with population genetic analyses across ten pufferfish species, the genetic differentiation mechanisms underpinning the radiative speciation of the most compact vertebrate genomes has elucidated.

Automatic detection of fish and tracking of movement for ecology

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 12, Page 8254-8263, June 2021., 2021
We applied automatic object detection and object tracking to track fish movement in the field and characterise movement behaviour. Abstract Animal movement studies are conducted to monitor ecosystem health, understand ecological dynamics, and address management and conservation questions.

Using Opportunistic Datasets to Infer Spatial Management Strategies of Local Fisheries in the U.S. Caribbean Region

Fisheries, Volume 46, Issue 4, Page 156-169, April 2021., 2021
As an initial step towards the implementation of an ecosystem‐based approach to management, the Caribbean Fishery Management Council has recently ratified three island‐based fishery management plans that will supplant the existing regional plans. The newly formed management plans account for nuances among the island platforms in the U.S.

Neogene Proto-Caribbean porcupinefishes (Diodontidae)

PLOS ONE, 2017
Los fósiles de Diodontidae en América Tropical consisten principalmente en mandíbulas aisladas y fusionadas en forma de pico y baterías de placas dentales. Estos peces durófagos son poderosos depredadores que aplastan las conchas en las faunas de invertebrados de aguas poco profundas del fondo de carbonato tropical del Neógeno, los arrecifes rocosos y ...
