Evolution of novel jaw joints promote trophic diversity in coral reef fishes (2008, background): “Reef fish assemblages differ from many other fish faunas especially by the dominance of taxa using a diverse range of biting strategies to either graze or scrape the substratum (Wainwright & Bellwood, 2002).”
Experimental assessment of sensory modalities of coral-reef fish larvae in the recognition of their settlement habitat (2005, background): “…challenges facing the majority of marine reef organisms with larval stages that potentially disperse and develop in offshore waters is how to relocate the relatively rare patches of coral-reef habitat on which they settle and ultimately reside as adults (for review, see Myrberg and Fuiman 2002).”
Fishing groupers towards extinction: a global assessment of threats and extinction risks in a billion dollar fishery (2013, background): “Overall, research trends in fish biology have strayed from answering basic questions about the biology and ecology of many species in favour of investigating more process-oriented hypotheses (e.g. recruitment and dispersal; Sale 2002).”
