Trait‐mediated foraging drives patterns of selective predation by native and invasive coral‐reef fishes
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2019 at "Ecosphere"
DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.2752
Abstract: As the geographic ranges of species are increasingly altered by forces such as biological invasion and climate change, when and where will strong biotic interactions arise within reassembling communities? Prey selectivity data are often of… read more here.

Functional rarity of coral reef fishes at the global scale: Hotspots and challenges for conservation
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Biological Conservation"
DOI: 10.1016/j.biocon.2018.08.011
Abstract: Abstract Characterizing functional diversity has become central in ecological research and for biodiversity assessment. Understanding the role of species with rare traits, i.e. functionally rare species, in community assembly, ecosystem dynamics and functioning has recently… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.envpol.2017.04.057
Abstract: Mercury (Hg) concentrations and nitrogen (δ15N) and carbon (δ13C) stable isotopic ratios were measured to assess differences in Hg bioaccumulation in four predatory fish species (Mycteroperca microlepis, Lutjanus campechanus, Caulolatilus microps, and Serioli dumerili) of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.marenvres.2019.104760
Abstract: Disentangling the contribution of biotic and abiotic factors in the structuring of the genetic diversity of reef species is critical to illuminate the diversification of evolutionary lineages in marine environment. Howevr, previous studies have mainly… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.1719291115
Abstract: Significance Climate change is causing widespread damage to the world’s tropical coral reefs, via increases in cyclones and mass bleaching. Healthy populations of reef fishes facilitate recovery from such events, and recruitment of juvenile fish… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/gbe/evab184
Abstract: Abstract Many animals including birds, reptiles, insects, and teleost fishes can see ultraviolet (UV) light (shorter than 400 nm), which has functional importance for foraging and communication. For coral reef fishes, shallow reef environments transmit… read more here.

Coral-reef fishes can become more risk-averse at their poleward range limits
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences"
DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2021.2676
Abstract: As climate warms, tropical species are expanding their distribution to temperate ecosystems where they are confronted with novel predators and habitats. Predation strongly regulates ecological communities, and range-extending species that adopt an effective antipredator strategy… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/jfb.15433
Abstract: Density-dependent mechanisms and habitat use are important drivers of marine spatial distribution in complex ecosystems such as coral or rocky reefs. In the last decade, few studies have assessed habitat use by reef fishes in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/mec.16124
Abstract: Environmental partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) variation can modify the responses of marine organisms to ocean acidification, yet the underlying mechanisms for this effect remain unclear. On coral reefs, environmental pCO2 fluctuates on a regular… read more here.
