Evaluating the Potential for Citizen Science Divers to Monitor Fish Biodiversity Through Passive eDNA Collection

open access: yesEnvironmental DNA, Volume 8, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
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 ...

Period of the day drives distinctions in the taxonomic and functional structures of reef fish assemblages

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 108, Issue 1, Page 103-117, January 2026.
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

open access: yesMethods in Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 11, Page 2622-2637, November 2025.
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,

Integrative taxonomy reveals a new species of the soapfish genus Rypticus (Teleostei: Grammistidae) from the eastern Atlantic Ocean

open access: yesJournal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 5, Page 1543-1552, November 2025.
Abstract A new species of the soapfish genus Rypticus is described based on 14 specimens from the eastern Atlantic Ocean. The new species was previously misidentified as the greater soapfish, R. saponaceus, due to their similar appearance. However, it differs from R.

Persisting Versus Relocating: Evidence That Marine Species Deploy Both Strategies in Compensation to Warming

open access: yesMarine Ecology, Volume 46, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
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 ...

Reef Fish Assemblage Through Space and Time in a Thermal Transition Zone in the Southwestern Atlantic

open access: yesDiversity and Distributions, Volume 31, Issue 8, August 2025.
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‐

DNA barcoding of marine rocky reef fishes from northern Peru suggests a parapatric speciation in the Tropical Eastern Pacific

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 3, March 2025.
Using a DNA barcoding technique we found evidence that reinforce the hypotheses of how parapatric speciation could drive the origin of new species in the TEP. Abstract Northern Peru marks the end of an extensive coastal marine region: The Panama province, which is characterized by predominantly tropical and equatorial features and is home to the only ...

Peces colectados en el río Acandí (Chocó) suroeste del Caribe colombiano Peces colectados en el río Acandí (Chocó) suroeste del Caribe colombiano

open access: yesCaldasia, 1991
Se registra por primera vez la presencia de seis especies de peces colectados en el río Acandí durante la expedición URABA II, en febrero de 1985, tres de los cuales (Citharichtys spilopterus, Achirus lineatus y Sphoeroides testudineus), son nuevos ...
