• Reef fish community structure in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (Panamá): living on a relatively stable rocky reef environment (2006, background): “Fish species were classified trophically according to Ferreira et al. (2004) as carnivores (fish that feed on mobile benthic organisms and fish); mobile-invertebrate feeders (fish that feed primarily on crabs, molluscs and other benthic mobile invertebrates on hard and soft substrates); omnivores…”
• Geographical gradients of marine herbivorous fishes: patterns and processes (2005, neutral): “Negative overall relationships between latitude and total density, biomass, species richness, and relative abundance of herbivores occur in Atlantic reef systems despite different histories and habitat characteristics (i.e. Brazil vs. Caribbean: Floeter et al. 2001; Ferreira et al. 2004).”
• Reef fish community structure on coastal islands of the southeastern Brazil: the influence of exposure and benthic cover (2007, background): “Fishes were grouped into major trophic categories following Ferreira et al. (2004) (Table 1), and also through direct behavioral observations and stomach content analysis (Floeter unpublished data).”
• Community structure and diet of roving herbivorous reef fishes in the Abrolhos Archipelago, south‐western Atlantic (2006, background): “Acanthurus coeruleus, as distinct from kyphosids, is restricted to the tropics (Ferreira et al., 2004) and seems to be included in a different SCFA digestion profile group (high to intermediate levels of SCFAs; Choat et al.”
• Latitudinal gradients in Atlantic reef fish communities: trophic structure and spatial use patterns (2004, background): “Fishes that have an important part of their diet constituted by detritus and calcified material (scarids and acanthurids) achieve higher densities in warmer sites (Bruggemann, 1994; Ferreira et al., 2004).”
• Marine Ornamental Trade in Brazil (2005, background): “Although a decrease in abundance with increasing latitude is expected for this spongivore-herbivore genus (Harmelin-Vivien 2002; Ferreira et al. 2004), sites that are not protected by marine reserves show much lower abundances than would be predicted by their latitudinal position.”
• South‐western Atlantic reef fishes: Zoogeographical patterns and ecological drivers reveal a secondary biodiversity centre in the Atlantic Ocean (2018, methodology): “…use—i.e., ability to use flotsam for migration) were compiled from the literature (Randall, 1967; Carvalho- Filho, 1999; Humann & DeLoach, 2002; Ferreira et al., 2004; Machado, Drummond, & Paglia, 2008; Luiz et al., 2012; IUCN, 2013; Froese & Pauly, 2014; MMA, 2014) and complemented by…”
• Conserving potential coral reef refuges at high latitudes (2014, background): “, 2005), sea urchins play a much stronger role in grazing at higher latitudes (Ferreira et al., 2004).”
• Reef fish community structure of the Fernando de Noronha Archipelago (Equatorial Western Atlantic): the influence of exposure and benthic composition (2011, background): “noronhanum as a planktivore (e.g. Floeter et al. 2001, 2007; Ferreira et al. 2004), further studies on the diet of this species are needed to confirm its major trophic category.”
• The reef fish assemblage of the Laje de Santos Marine State Park, Southwestern Atlantic: annotated checklist with comments on abundance, distribution, trophic structure, symbiotic associations, and conservation (2008, background): “Trophic category. assessed from direct behavioral observations and from the literature (Randall 1967, 1996, Carvalho-Filho 1999, Ferreira et al. 2004), where: CAR = Carnivores (eat a variety of mobile organisms, including invertebrates and fishes), MIF = Mobile invertebrate feeders (feed primarily…”
