Reef fish community structure on coastal islands of the southeastern Brazil: the influence of exposure and benthic cover (2007, background): “Fishes and benthic organisms preferentially occupy specific areas of the reef (e.g. Sebens and Johnson 1991; McGehee 1994; Fulton et al. 2001; Dutra et al. 2005).”
Assembly rules and functional groups at global biogeographical scales (2002, background): “Locomotor performance may play a major role in shaping the distribution patterns of wrasses on the Great Barrier Reef, at a range of spatial scales (Bellwood & Wainwright 2001; Fulton, Bellwood & Wainwright 2001 ).”
Critical swimming speeds of late-stage coral reef fish larvae: variation within species, among species and between locations (2005, background): “Research has found a strong relationship between swimming capability and among-habitat and microhabitat use by adult labrids in both tropical ( Fulton et al. 2001 ) and temperate (Fulton and Bellwood 2004) locations, suggesting that swimming capabilities may be of general importance in shaping habit”
Variations in the dietary compositions of morphologically diverse syngnathid fishes (2005, background): “Specialisations in the body shape and feeding structure of teleosts can be related to the habitats that they occupy and the prey types that they consume (Keast & Webb 1966, Wainwright & Richard 1995, Fulton et al. 2001 ).”
Development of Captive Breeding Techniques for Marine Ornamental Fish: A Review (2010, background): “A fish’s response to and utilization of a particular habitat is influenced by its interactions with both biotic and abiotic factors in the environment, and its ability to exploit the habitat for the acquisition of food, refuge, or territory (Bellwood and Wainwright, 2001; Fulton et al., 2001; Gill a”
Movement heterogeneity of dugongs, Dugong dugon (Müller), over large spatial scales (2006, background): “This energy conserving behaviour has been observed in migrating elvers in experimental flume tanks (Barbin and Krueger, 1994), as well as in fish inhabiting natural reefs (Fulton et al., 2001).”
Ecomorphology of Locomotion in Labrid Fishes (2002, background): “Species of Labroides are thought to feed mostly on ectoparasites of other fishes and often spend considerable amounts of time swimming well up in the water column (Fulton et al. 2001).”
Swimming speed performance in coral reef fishes: field validations reveal distinct functional groups (2007, methodology): “Swimming mode Swimming mode was identified for each species using an instantaneous census technique following Fulton et al. (2001), which involved swimming a non-overlapping path over the reef whilst recording the fins being used during the 3-s period following identification of each individual.”
Wave exposure, swimming performance, and the structure of tropical and temperate reef fish assemblages (2004, background): “Differences in fin morphology and swimming performance were suggested to be important determinants of these patterns on coral reefs (Bellwood and Wainwright 2001; Fulton et al. 2001; Bellwood et al. 2002), and this study demonstrates a comparable link between swimming performance and labrid distribu”
