Differentiation between sympatric Astatotilapia calliptera ecotypes using dietary metabarcoding reveal presence of resource partitioning. ABSTRACT Sympatric speciation is defined as the formation of new species in the absence of geographic barriers, but the genomic and life history strategy mechanisms underpinning sympatric speciation are still far ...

ABSTRACT Fishes exhibit a range of feeding modes and strategies to forage in and on sand habitat. Here, we describe a novel feeding mode, whereby small juvenile baldchin groper, Choerodon rubescens (⁓65–100 mm TL), vigorously forward sweeps the benthos with a single pectoral fin to reveal small benthic prey and visually scans the immediate benthos on ...
