Reef fish community structure across an ecological transition zone Open
Transition zones exhibit a unique combination of abiotic characteristics derived from the merging of two distinct areas, hosting communities with different thermal tolerance and distribution ranges. Given these characteristics, these zones…

Ecosystem Architects: how herbivory and interaction networks shape reef communities in the Caribbean Open
Fish are the most diverse and abundant vertebrate group on Earth and special reef fishes take part in numerous interactions, such as cleaning, feeding, and agonistic interactions. Despite the growing literature on the patterns of fish inte…

More than one way to be a planktivore: the vast morphospace of plankton-feeding reef fishes Open
Planktivorous reef fishes are thought to possess unique morphological traits to feed on small, evasive prey. Despite the multitude of family-level studies addressing this hypothesis, results remain inconclusive. Our goal, therefore, was to…

Tool use by New World Halichoeres wrasses Open
A diverse array of animals has evolved the ability to use tools (e.g., primates, parrots, octopus, crabs, and wasps), but the factors leading to tool use evolution are poorly understood. Fishes could provide insight into these factors via …

No Sign of Homogenisation in Reef Fish Communities Across an Ecological Transition Zone Exposed to Warming Open
Aim Marine organisms are responding to warming by altering their distribution ranges, causing biogeographic range shifts and in some cases, favouring the community homogenisation. Transition zones can act as natural laboratories to explore…

Standardized datasets of Brazilian reef diversity in space and time Open
The Brazilian marine biogeographical province (SW Atlantic) hosts coral and rocky reefs that cover ~27 degrees of latitude and are distributed along a relatively narrow continental shelf and four oceanic islands and archipelagos. The broad…

Under pressure: an integrated assessment of human activities and their potential impact on the ecosystem components of the Southern Brazilian continental shelf Open
Economic activities in the South Brazilian Shelf (SBS) are concentrated on the coast, causing several impacts. To balance biodiversity and habitat conservation in coastal and marine areas with human activities relevant to society, it is im…

Diel feeding activity of Abudefduf saxatilis on southwestern Atlantic reefs Open
Feeding ecology studies are crucial for understanding energy flow in reef ecosystems. In this study, we used an integrative approach to investigate the diel-feeding ecology of the sergeant-major Abudefduf saxatilis. To examine the possibil…

Integrated ecosystem assessment around islands of the tropical South Mid-Atlantic Ridge Open
The South Mid Atlantic Ridge comprises three main oceanic islands in the equatorial and tropical portions of the Atlantic Ocean. These islands are isolated from each other and equidistant from both the continental margins of South America …
