Limited Evidence for Depth Specialism in Isolated Seamount Reef Predators. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe investigated how depth influences predatory fish assemblages on seamount reefs in the Coral Sea using remotely operated vehicle surveys across a 100 m depth gradient. Predator abundance and species richness declined significantly with depth; yet assemblage composition remained largely consistent, suggesting many taxa utilise a broad depth range ...

The role of nocturnal fishes on coral reefs: A quantitative functional evaluation. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2022 Abstract The ecological functions of nocturnal coral reef fishes are poorly known. Yet, nocturnal resources for coral reef consumers are theoretically as abundant and productive, if not more so, than their diurnal counterparts. In this study, we quantify and contrast the energetic dynamics of nocturnal and diurnal fishes in a model coral reef ecosystem,

Range Extension of the Popeye Catalufa (Pristigenys serrula, Gilbert 1891) to Central Chile During the "El Niño" Southern Oscillation (ENSO) 2023-2024. [PDF]
Ecol EvolPhylogenetic and morphological analyses confirm P. serrula in central Chile (32° S). The geographical distribution of P. serrula in central Chile extends 9° southward. This extension is associated with the “El Niño” Southern Oscillation (ENSO). ABSTRACT We report the presence of Pristigenys serrula Gilbert 1891 off Zapallar (−32.568253, −71.464225 ...

DNA barcoding of reef-associated fishes of Saint Martin's Island, Northern Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. [PDF]
Ecol Evol, 2023 Figures 2 and 6 consist of all the species that were sequenced and identified in this study. It also shows the phylogenetic relationship of the studied species. Abstract This study employs the DNA barcoding approach to make a molecular taxonomic catalog of reef fishes of Saint Martin's Island (SMI), an ecologically critical area (ECA), and Marine ...

A framework and review of evidence of the importance of coral reefs for marine birds in tropical ecosystems. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe 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 ...

Characterization of the complete mitochondrial genome of Priacanthus tayenus (Perciformes: Priacanthidae) with phylogenetic consideration. [PDF]
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour, 2016 The complete mitochondrial genome of the Priacanthus tayenus was sequenced and analyzed in this study. The mitochondrial genome is 16,866 bp long and consists of 13 protein-coding genes, two rRNA genes, 22 tRNA genes and a control region. The gene order and the composition of P.
