DOI: 10.1007/s12526-017-0841-x
Abstract: Herbivorous fish play an important role in structuring benthic communities by influencing the distribution and composition of algal assemblages in coral reef systems. The distribution of herbivorous fish is often driven by the interaction between… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16394
Abstract: Many marine herbivorous fishes harbour diverse microbial communities in the hindgut that can play important roles in host health and nutrition. Kyphosus sydneyanus is a temperate marine herbivorous fish that feeds predominantly on brown seaweeds.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1128/aem.02154-22
Abstract: This work connects specific uncultured bacterial taxa with distinct polysaccharide digestion capabilities lacking in their marine vertebrate hosts, providing fresh insights into poorly understood processes for deconstructing complex sulfated polysaccharides and potential evolutionary mechanisms for… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/d11020023
Abstract: Cross-shelf differences in coral reef benthic and fish assemblages are common, yet it is unknown whether these assemblages respond uniformly to environmental disturbances or whether local conditions result in differential responses of assemblages at different… read more here.
