Coral reef fishes exhibit beneficial phenotypes inside marine protected areas
Human fishing effort is size-selective, preferentially removing the largest individuals from harvested stocks. Intensive, size-specific fishing mortality induces directional shifts in phenotypic frequencies towards the predominance of smaller and earlier-maturing individuals, which are among the primary causes of declining fish biomass. Fish that reproduce at smaller size and younger age produc...
متن کاملPopulation Regulation of Coral Reef Fishes
Populations of reef fish are widely believed to be limited by availability of larval recruits, not by density dependent processes operating during and after settlement of young stages in the reef environment. Our research explores and challenges this thinking. We are utilizing field observations and experiments to determine what factors affect spatial distribution, abundance, and population dyn...
متن کاملThe Ecology of Coral Reef Fishes
One of the first things that catches the attention of a diver entering the warm waters of the coral reef is the phenomenal diversity, abundance, and beauty of fishes swimming before them. While all organisms on the coral reef are integrated into its overall ecology, fishes are certainly among the more readily observable taxons, and are an extremely important component of overall reef function. ...
متن کاملExtinction vulnerability of coral reef fishes
With rapidly increasing rates of contemporary extinction, predicting extinction vulnerability and identifying how multiple stressors drive non-random species loss have become key challenges in ecology. These assessments are crucial for avoiding the loss of key functional groups that sustain ecosystem processes and services. We developed a novel predictive framework of species extinction vulnera...
متن کاملEcomorphology of Feeding in Coral Reef Fishes
Once an observer gets past the stunning coloration, surely no feature inspires wonder in coral reef fishes so much as their morphological diversity. From large-mouthed groupers, to beaked parrot fish, barbeled goatfish, long-snouted trumpet fish, snaggletoothed tusk fish, tube-mouthed planktivores, and fatlipped sweet lips, coral reef fishes display a dazzling array of feeding structures. And, ...
