Inter-oceanic analysis of demographic variation in a widely distributed Indo-Pacific coral reef fish (2008, methodology): “Mean maximum age, mean Tmax, was calculated as the average age of the oldest 10% of individuals in each sampled population (modified from Choat & Robertson 2002).”
Climate change and the future for coral reef fishes (2008, background): “Other coral reef fishes are long lived, but still tend to mature within a few years, e.g. 2–4 years in some acanthurids that can live 30–40 years (Choat and Robertson 2002).”
Elevated temperature reduces the respiratory scope of coral reef fishes (2009, background): “Therefore, populations of this species are more likely to be adapted to the local thermal environment than are populations of species with strong genetic connectivity across latitudinal and temperature gradients (Choat & Robertson, 2002; Planes, 2002; Rocha et al., 2007).”
Trophic and benthic responses to no-take marine reserve protection in the Philippines. (2009, background): “Parrotfish generally have shorter lifespans, faster growth and generally faster population turnover rates than surgeonfish (Choat & Axe 1996, Choat et al. 1996, Choat & Robertson 2002).”
Density-dependent spillover from a marine reserve: long-term evidence (2005, background): “Individuals .26-cm TL are probably adults between 5 and 40 years old (Choat and Robertson 2002).”
The non-linear relationship between body size and function in parrotfishes (2008, methodology): “According to growth rate data and Weld studies this could be achieved within 5 (Choat and Robertson 2002) to 10 (McClanahan et al. 2007) years after a no-take area is established.”
Long-term effects of the 1998 coral bleaching event on reef fish assemblages (2006, background): “…long- 245 Mar Ecol Prog Ser 315: 237–247, 2006 term responses evident in this study, in addition to the documented longevity of many reef fishes (Choat & Robertson 2002), as well as an increasing body of evidence that potential recovery of coral assemblages occurs over a decade or more…”
Integrating ecological roles and trophic diversification on coral reefs: multiple lines of evidence identify parrotfishes as microphages (2016, background): “…with diets dominated by turfing and macroscopic algae (Jones, 1968; Choat et al., 2002) have demographic profiles characterized by asymptotic growth patterns, extended life spans and reduced annual levels of somatic growth and reproduction (Choat & Robertson, 2002; Taylor & Choat, 2014).”
