A new seahorse (Teleostei: Syngnathidae: Hippocampus) from south-western Australia
A new species of syngnathid fish, Hippocampus paradoxus sp. nov., from mid-continental shelf waters of south-western Australia is described from the only known specimen. It can be distinguished from all congeners, including the very similar H. minotaur Gomon 1997, by the following features: the lack of a dorsal fin, a series of fleshy, fin-like lobes along the dorsal midline of the trunk and ta...
متن کاملFine-scale spatial and temporal variations in diets of the pipefish Stigmatopora nigra within seagrass patches.
Diets of the pipefish Stigmatopora nigra were analysed to determine if food availability was causing S. nigra to distribute according to habitat edge effects. Gut analysis found little difference in the diets of S. nigra at the edge and interior of seagrass patches, regardless of time of day or season. Fish diets did, however, vary with seagrass density: S. nigra in denser seagrass consumed mor...
متن کاملReversed sex roles and parental energy investment in zygotes of two pipefish (Syngnathidae) species
In pipefishes, males brood their offspring on their body or in a brood pouch. In 2 species of pipeflsh, Siphonostorna typhle and Nerophis ophidion, sexual dimorphism, dichromatism, and sex role reversal differed in degree between the species. N. ophidion females were larger than males, whereas in S. typhle sexes were equally large. Furthermore, N. ophidion females have pronounced sexual colouri...
متن کاملDifferential parental nutrient allocation in two congeneric pipefish species (Syngnathidae: Syngnathus spp.).
Male seahorses and pipefishes of the family Syngnathidae are heralded for their unique brood pouch structures for incubating embryos. There are three general types of brood pouch with increasing complexity: simple ventral gluing, two pouch flaps and a completely sealed sac. The diversity of functional roles within a type in providing nutrition, aeration and protection to offspring is unknown. H...
متن کاملA spectacular new species of seadragon (Syngnathidae)
The exploration of Earth's biodiversity is an exciting and ongoing endeavour. Here, we report a new species of seadragon from Western Australia with substantial morphological and genetic differences to the only two other known species. We describe it as Phyllopteryx dewysea n. sp. Although the leafy seadragon (Phycodurus eques) and the common seadragon (Phyllopteryx taeniolatus) occur along Aus...
