Trophic niches of thirteen damselfishes (Pomacentridae) at the Grand Récif of Toliara, Madagascar (2009, background): “For instance, extensive evidence of trophic adaptations and wide diversity in diet were highlighted in Labridae (Wainwright 1988; Wainwright et al. 2004) and Chaetodontidae (Motta 1988; Ferry-Graham et al.”
Integrating ecological roles and trophic diversification on coral reefs: multiple lines of evidence identify parrotfishes as microphages (2016, background): “…in parrotfishes is very well characterized in terms of the osteology of the oral and pharyngeal jaws (Bellwood & Choat, 1990; Bellwood, 1994; Wainwright et al., 2004; Carr et al., 2006), and both scraping and excavating feeding modes in parrotfishes generate fine particular organic…”
Patterns and processes in the evolutionary history of parrotfishes (Family Labridae) (2012, background): “Species of Chlorurus and Scarus exhibit important functional differences in the structure of oral and pharyngeal jaws (Bellwood & Choat, 1990; Wainwright et al., 2004; Price et al., 2010).”
Evolution of novel jaw joints promote trophic diversity in coral reef fishes (2008, background): “Mechanical models of the teleost lower jaw describe a lever system where the distance from the lower jaw joint to the teeth is the output lever through which adductor muscle contraction forces are transmitted to the biting surface of the teeth (Wainwright et al., 2004).”
Function of a key morphological innovation: fusion of the cichlid pharyngeal jaw (2006, background): “Piscivory is rare in the other labroid groups (Randall et al. 1997; Wainwright et al. 2004) and cichlid groups that are primarily piscivorous like Cichla, Crenicichla and Petenia (Chavez-Lomeli et al.”
Genetic and developmental basis of cichlid trophic diversity (2006, background): “Variation along this functional axis is also associated with the evolution of several other fish taxa, including North American sunfishes as well as several lineages of coral reef fishes (Motta, 1982; Wainwright and Shaw, 1999; Wainwright et al, 2004).”
