The Eocene fishes of Monte Bolca: the earliest coral reef fish assemblageCoral Reefs - Tập 15 - Trang 11-19 - 1996
D. R. Bellwood
The fish assemblage from the Eocene deposits of Monte Bolca, Northern Italy, are compared with those of Recent coral reefs. A family-level taxonomic definition of a Recent coral reef fish assemblage is formulated to permit direct comparisons. On this basis, the Monte Bolca fishes represent the earliest clearly defined coral reef fish assemblage. Quantitative analyses of the relative abundance of f...... hiện toàn bộ
Spatial patterns of cryptobenthic coral-reef fishes in the Red SeaCoral Reefs - Tập 37 - Trang 193-199 - 2017

Surveys to document coral-reef fish assemblages are often limited to visually conspicuous species, thus excluding a significant proportion of the biodiversity. Through standardized collections of cryptobenthic reef fishes in the central and southern Red Sea, a total of 238 species and operational taxonomic units (OTUs) from 35 families were collected. Abundance and species richness increased by 60...... hiện toàn bộ

Life history traits of the sea snake Emydocephalus annulatus, based on a 17-yr studyCoral Reefs - - 2020
Richard Shine, Terri G. Shine, Gregory P. Brown, Claire Goiran
Although sea snakes are important predators in coral reef ecosystems and have undergone substantial population declines in some areas, we have little robust information on life histories of these animals. Based on a 17-yr mark–recapture study of turtle-headed sea snakes (Emydocephalus annulatus) in New Caledonia (> 1200 individuals marked), we can confidently allocate ages to 539 individuals (1–11...... hiện toàn bộ
Seabird guano reshapes intertidal reef food web in an isolated oceanic isletCoral Reefs - - Trang 1-9 - 2024

Deposits of seabird guano on marine shores have drawn the attention of companies and naturalists for centuries. Among notable effects, allochthonous energy/matter inputs by seabirds are responsible for shifts in ecosystem functioning next to colonies. Here, we used stable isotopes of nitrogen-15 (ratios of 15N:14N, expressed as δ15N) to trace guano incorporation in the intertidal reef community (f...... hiện toàn bộ
Can benthic algae mediate larval behavior and settlement of the coral Acropora muricata?Coral Reefs - Tập 33 Số 2 - Trang 431-440 - 2014
Denis, V., Loubeyres, M., Doo, S. S., de Palmas, S., Keshavmurthy, S., Hsieh, H. J., Chen, C. A.
The resilience of coral reefs relies significantly on the ability of corals to recover successfully in algal-dominated environments. Larval settlement is a critical but highly vulnerable stage in the early life history of corals. In this study, we analyzed how the presence of two upright fleshy algae, Sargassum mcclurei (SM) and Padina australis (PA), and one crustose coralline algae, Mesophyllum ...... hiện toàn bộ
