Coastal fish assemblages and predation pressure in northern-central Chilean Lessonia trabeculata kelp forests and barren grounds [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the globe, which can lead to the spreading of barren grounds. Increased abundances of grazers, mainly due to reduction of their predators, are among the causes of this development. Here, we compared the species

Population dynamics of two sympatric intertidal fish species (the shanny, Lipophrys pholis, and long-spined scorpion fish,Taurulus bubalis) of Great Britain [PDF]
, 2016 The shanny/common blenny (Lipophrys pholis) and long-spined scorpionfish/bullhead (Taurulus bubalis) are commonly encountered, sympatric species within much of Great Britain’s rocky intertidal zones. Despite being prey items of the cod (Gadus morhua) and

Comparison of parasite diversity of intertidal fish assemblages from central California and central Chile [PDF]
, 2017 The coasts of central Chile and central California are important points of comparison in the study of ecological convergence such as a host’s parasite load because of their similar environmental conditions and the shared presence of many families of ...

Effects of the analysed variable set composition on the results of distance-based morphometric surveys. [PDF]
, 2022 Distance-based morphometry is still widely used in ichthyology. Beside others, this methodology is often used to characterise species or to compare intraspecific group (i.e. population level) differences.
