DOI: 10.1002/ece3.8736
Abstract: Abstract Urbanized coral reefs experience anthropogenic disturbances caused by coastal development, pollution, and nutrient runoff, resulting in turbid, marginal conditions in which only certain species can persist. Mortality effects are exacerbated by increasingly regular thermal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9221
Abstract: Abstract Fish have one of the highest occurrences of individual specialization in trophic strategies among Eukaryotes. Yet, few studies characterize this variation during trophic niche analysis, limiting our understanding of aquatic food web dynamics. Stable… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/lom3.10444
Abstract: Tracking the movement of all individual group members in their natural environment remains a challenging task. Using advances in computer vision and Deep Learning, we developed and tested a semi‐automated in situ tracking system to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10750-019-3966-z
Abstract: The saddled blenny Malacoctenus triangulatus is a widely distributed species of cryptobenthic reef fish that occurs from the Caribbean to southeastern Brazil, including the oceanic islands. Subtle morphological differences have been observed between populations, suggesting some… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12526-017-0677-4
Abstract: Many reef fish are known to be associated with particular microhabitats that provide food and refuge, such as branching corals, gorgonians, macroalgal beds and sea urchins. We investigate the association of reef fishes with the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.chemosphere.2021.132125
Abstract: Organophosphate flame retardant (OPFR) pollution in marine environment has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Coral reefs are regarded as significant marine ecosystems, however, research on OPFR contamination in coral reefs is limited. In the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.fishres.2020.105590
Abstract: Abstract Non-lethal methods are sought to provide indices or measure of absolute abundance to fit fishery stock assessment models, including those computed for reef fishes. Calibrated scientific echosounders provide the foundation for stock assessments in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jembe.2019.151207
Abstract: Abstract Reef ecosystems are structurally complex and characterized by an array of abiotic (e.g., rocks and crevices) and biotic (sessile benthic organisms) physical features, many of which having the potential to act as refuge for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2020.105129
Abstract: Ghost fishing is a threat to many marine environments, as lost or discarded fishing gear (e.g., fishing lines, nets) continues to fish by entangling, damaging or killing various organisms. Among the benthic organisms that live… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.pecon.2020.01.003
Abstract: Abstract The assessment of species conservation status traditionally relies on population data. In the absence of such data, biological attributes have been applied to predict the degree of species’ vulnerability. Our study investigated the accuracy… read more here.
