Ontogenetic foraging activity and feeding selectivity of the Brazilian endemic parrotfish Scarus zelindae [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Parrotfish are fundamental species in controlling algal phase-shifts and ensuring the resilience of coral reefs. Nevertheless, little is known on their ecological role in the south-western Atlantic Ocean.
