Phylogeny of Gobiidae and identification of gobiid lineages (2011, unknown): “4 generations per year),and great abundance on Western Pacific coral reefs (Depczynski & Bellwood, 2003 , 2005 , 2006 ).”
Motile cryptofauna associated with live and dead coral substrates: implications for coral mortality and framework erosion (2012, background): “The high proportion of biomass belonging to deposit feeding and omnivorous trophic groups among dead coral substrates highlights the importance of cryptic taxa in scavenging for and recycling of organic matter (Rothans and Miller 1991; Depczynski and Bellwood 2003; Glynn 2011).”
Coral bleaching, reef fish community phase shifts and the resilience of coral reefs (2006, background): “The latter is marked by having one of the broadest dietary ranges in the assemblage (Depczynski & Bellwood, 2003).”
Multiple disturbances and the global degradation of coral reefs: are reef fishes at risk or resilient? (2006, background): “These small cryptic fishes may play an important role in reef ecology (Depczynski & Bellwood, 2003; Wilson, 2004) and a concerted effort should be made to include these species in community studies.”
