Abstract:

A ecomorfologia apresenta diferentes ramos, sendo a ecomorfologia comparada o ramo proposto neste trabalho, qual segue a análise das estruturas convergentes dos representantes das famílias africana Pantodontidae e neotropical Gasteropelecidae. Para tal, são analisadas e discutidas as pressões seletivas exercidas pelos ambientes muito similares encontrados nos pequenos córregos e igarapés localizados no interior da Floresta do Congo e Floresta Amazônica, onde vivem respectivamente as espécies africanas e neotropicais. Assim, foi possível identificar uma forte convergência adaptativa na musculat

Abstract:

The doublesash butterflyfish, Chaetodon marleyi, indigenous to South Africa, is popular amongst marine aquarists. To provide a basis for the management of the species and assess its suitability for aquaculture, aspects of its biology were investigated. Specimens were collected between February 1996 and November 1997 from localities along the eastern Cape coastline of South Africa and from specimens in the RUSI fish collection. The dentition of C.marleyi is typical of non-coraline, benthic invertebrate feeding chaetodontids. The teeth are long, inwardly hooked and spatulate which allow easy gra

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references.<br>Coral reefs are globally in a vulnerable state, because of both human impacts and environmental alterations. An understanding of coral reef ecosystems and the ability to detect changes in the reef environment early on are necessary to apply effective conservation. The co-evolution of coral and coral feeding fishes means that some species may exhibit interactions useful for indicating reef health, acting as an early warning system. Chaetodontidae (Perciformes) are one such family, containing coral dependent (obligate corallivore) species. This concept is

Abstract:

Pair bonding has independently evolved in all major vertebrate lineages, where it represents a major defining feature of species-specific social structure. As such, proximate neural reasons for how, and adaptive reasons for why pair bonding occurs are fairly well established, at least for mammals and birds. In these later vertebrates, particularly mammals, there are four integral neurochemical systems involved: oxytocin, arginine vasotocin, dopamine, and opioid systems. Both oxytocin and arginine vasotocin systems facilitate partner attachment, presumably by mediating social memory. Meanwhile,

Abstract:

Natural hybridisation is the successful interbreeding of individuals from different populations, distinguishable through one or more heritable characters, and is a widespread phenomenon in the plant and animal kingdoms. The development of hybridisation theories has largely been based on studies in terrestrial and freshwater ecosystems. Hybridisation was traditionally considered rare and unimportant in marine systems and therefore received little attention. Recently however, there has been a surge of reported marine hybrids, particularly in corals and reef fishes. The ecological promoters and e

Full text

Abstract:

Given the highly stochastic nature of larval supply, coral reef fishes often settle in sub-optimal habitats with limited access to prey or other resources. Variation in the availability and quality of resources among different reef habitats is likely to have significant effects on the physiological condition and subsequent fitness of resident fishes, if not their absolute abundance. The first component of this study compared the abundance, feeding, and condition of two species of coral-feeding butterflyfishes (Chaetodon baronessa and C. lunulatus) across contrasting habitats with markedly diff

Abstract:

Ecological specialisation is often correlated with high extinction risk as specialist species are expected to be disproportionately affected by changes in resource availability and disturbance events compared to generalist counterparts. On coral reefs, highly specialised coral-feeding butterflyfish appear to be most vulnerable to the effects of coral loss. Species with large geographic ranges, such as many butterflyfishes, are traditionally thought to have low risk of extinction if disturbances are patchy in time and space. This is because disturbed locations can be recolonised from viable pop

Abstract:

The overall goal of this study was to elucidate the relationship between coral nutrition and the observed prey preferences exhibited by corallivorous butterflyfishes. Fifteen species of coral (thirteen hard, two soft) and stomach/hindgut contents from six species of butterflyfish were analyzed in this study, all collected from the central Saudi Arabian Red Sea. All samples were analyzed for lipid, total-nitrogen (proxy for protein), and ash (proxy for minerals and when combined with lipid data, allows for calculation of carbohydrate). Unfortunately, substantial errors were encountered in the e

Abstract:

Habitat availability and suitability are key factors determining the local abundance of a species and the structure of species assemblages. Nowhere is this more evident than in coral reef systems, where the availability, condition, and complexity of scleractinian corals are major determinants of the abundance, growth, and survival of both specialist and generalist coral reef fishes. Unfortunately, these shallow water habitats are also extremely vulnerable to destructive natural events such as cyclones, as well as anthropogenic environmental disturbances such as reduced water quality, overfishi
