Passive capture of eDNA can be used as a tool for citizen scientist SCUBA divers to supplement visual surveys for marine species detection and is particularly useful for species that are rare or visually inaccessible to divers. ABSTRACT Environmental DNA (eDNA) marker gene sequencing, or metabarcoding, can be a powerful tool for monitoring marine ...

Abstract Circadian processes are key drivers of animal behaviour, influencing patterns of activity, resource partitioning and competition avoidance. Studies evaluating circadian changes on the structure of marine assemblages are lacking, especially for reef fish.

Deciphering complex coral reef soundscapes with spatial audio and 360° video
Abstract Coral reef soundscapes hold an untapped wealth of biodiversity information. While they are easy to record and filled with snapping shrimp and fish sounds, they are difficult to decipher because we know little about which sounds are made by which species. With identified fish sounds, acoustic monitoring can directly inform biodiversity metrics,

ABSTRACT Marine species distributions reflect fundamental ecological interactions, and analyzing their patterns helps identify key drivers of change and enhances our understanding of shifting habitats and ecosystem responses. In response to ocean warming, marine species exhibit a range of accommodations, including tolerance to thermal changes and ...

Population aspects of Sphoeroides testudineus (Tetraodontiformes: Tetraodontidae)
The Tetraodontidae contains about 184 species (Matsuura, 2014), but recent studies have shown the existence of complex and new species in this fishes (Moura e Castro, 2002; Walker and Bussing, 1996; Amaral et al., 2013; Kottelat et al., 2013). Preliminary genetic analysis of Sphoeroides testudineus were conducted with mitochondrial genes ATPase 6-8 ...

ABSTRACT Aim Assessing the structure of reef fish assemblages and their spatiotemporal changes (β‐diversity) in seven reef locations across a thermal transition zone in the southwestern Atlantic. Location Eastern Brazilian coast, from the northern Abrolhos Bank (17° S; 26.37°C) to the southern Espírito Santo state (20° S; 21.13°C). Methods We used four‐

Assessing Fish Community Structure and Diversity Across Environmental Gradients in a Tropical Bay
ABSTRACT Understanding the relationship between species distribution and the environment across spatial gradients is crucial for biodiversity evaluation. We surveyed fish populations in a tropical bay, covering a spatial gradient from the outer zone with favorable marine conditions to the inner zone affected by human activities.
