Biogeography of the stony corals (Scleractinia) of the Mexican pacific

Ciencias Marinas, 1998
 This paper presents a complete list of hermatypic coral species, analyzes the biodiversity levels and describes the biogeographic patterns of the group in the Mexican Pacific. The coral fauna of the Mexican Pacific consists of 23 species, which makes this region one of the highest in terms of specific richness within the tropical eastern Pacific.

Hidden partnerships in the dark: Cold‐water coral–fish associations in Fiordland, New Zealand

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The ichthyofauna of the Fiordland ecosystems of southern Aotearoa New Zealand was documented during four remotely operating vehicle (ROV) dives between 100 and 350 m depth. A total of 26 fish species were documented within two fiord basins.

Unravelling the skin of the nurse shark: A morphological description of the placoid scales of Ginglymostoma cirratum

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Ginglymostoma cirratum, commonly known as the nurse shark, is a nocturnally active benthic shark, often found in western and eastern Atlantic waters. Although this shark has been well explored in many biological aspects, few studies have thoroughly examined the morphology of its dermal denticles (or placoid scales).

The state of knowledge on four families of Syngnathoidei fishes (Teleostei: Syngnathiformes): Aulostomidae, Centriscidae, Fistulariidae and Solenostomidae

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Knowledge on the ecology and life‐history traits of coastal marine species is vital to inform their conservation and management, especially as their coastal habitats come under increasing threats. However, such data have never been collated for four of the five families in the suborder Syngnathoidei—the close relatives of the better‐studied ...

Male‐territory‐visiting polygamy in the sand‐dwelling goby Fusigobius inframaculatus (Gobiidae) inhabiting reef caves

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract We conducted an observational field survey of the innerspotted sandgoby Fusigobius inframaculatus on reefs of Kuchierabu‐jima Island, southern Japan, to investigate its mating system. Individuals of the goby maintained home ranges on sandy bottoms within rocky caves or beneath overhangs that served as shelters. Of 34 identified individuals, 32%

Subtropical marine reserve as key habitats for the critically endangered sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) in the Southwestern Atlantic

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study documents the occurrence, seasonal patterns and reproductive activity of the sand tiger shark (Carcharias taurus) within a no‐take marine protected area in southeastern Brazil, using Baited Remote Underwater Video (BRUV) and diving records.

Short‐term performance responses of an intertidal fish to sedimentation and warming

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Climate change is altering coastal ecosystems by causing environmental fluctuations, such as increases in temperature and turbidity, which pose major implications for fish physiology and behaviour. Increases in temperature affect fish food intake, swimming capacity and oxygen delivery, while increases in turbidity can impair or enhance prey ...

Why Corals Care About Ocean Acidification: Uncovering the Mechanism [PDF]

Oceanography, 2009
Stony corals build hard skeletons of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) by combining calcium with carbonate ions derived, ultimately, from seawater. The concentration of carbonate ions relative to other carbonate species in seawater is rather low, so corals ...

The jaws in the jaws: Morphofunctional analysis of the pharyngeal plates of Labrus viridis Linnaeus, 1758 (Teleostei, Labridae)

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Functional morphology highlights the adaptive flexibility of fish feeding strategies across environmental gradients and seasonal variations, providing key insights for the management and conservation of ichthyofaunal communities and their habitats.
