• Endemism and dispersal: comparative phylogeography of three surgeonfishes across the Hawaiian Archipelago (2009, background): “Z. Xavescens, and A. nigrofuscus are remarkably similar at 55–60 days (C. strigosus estimated from sister species C. striatus in Doherty et al. 1995; Z. Xavescens from D. SchaVer, personal communication; A. nigrofuscus in Fisher et al. 2005 ).”
• Ecology of Anguilliform Leptocephali: Remarkable Transparent Fish Larvae of the Ocean Surface Layer (2009, background): “4 2009 Critical swimming speed is a useful index of swimming ability obtained by swimming fish at increasing speed intervals until they reach exhaustion (Fisher 2005; Fisher et al. 2005).”
• Latitudinal shifts in coral reef fishes: why some species do and others do not shift (2014, background): “Although there is considerable variation among taxa, recent work on late-stage, or settlement-competent, larvae of coral reef fishes shows them to be outstanding swimmers both in terms of swimming speed and endurance (Fisher 2005; Fisher et al. 2005; Leis et al. 2011).”
• Modelling larval fish navigation: the way forward (2014, methodology): “While much information is now available for vertical migration (e.g., Irisson et al., 2010; 241 Paris and Cowen, 2004), swimming speeds (e.g., Fisher et al., 2005; Leis and Carson-Ewart, 1997), 242 and orientation behaviour (e.g, Leis et al., 2011) of settlement-stage larval fish, very little…”
• Behaviour as input for modelling dispersal of fish larvae: behaviour, biogeography, hydrodynamics, ontogeny, physiology and phylogeny meet hydrography (2007, background): “If there are good relationships between laboratory and field measures of performance, predictions of field behaviour from laboratory behaviour or from larval morphology may be possible (Fisher et al. 2005, Leis 2006).”
• Linking behavioural ecology and oceanography: larval behaviour determines growth, mortality and dispersal (2007, background): “In a study of 89 species of coral reef fish larvae in their later stages, 90% of the species could swim faster than the local currents at 13.5 cm·s–1 (Fisher et al. 2005).”
• Swimming speed performance in coral reef fishes: field validations reveal distinct functional groups (2007, background): “While these findings support the suggestion that critical swimming speed (Ucrit) provides an ecologically relevant measure of swimming performance (Hammer 1995; Plaut 2001; Fisher et al. 2005), the specific relationship between this lab-based metric and field performance was strongly dependent on th”
• Localised coastal habitats have distinct underwater sound signatures (2010, background): “…in many of these settling stages (Stobutzki & Bellwood 1994, 1997, Shanks 1995, Leis & Carson-Ewart 1997, 1999, Stobutzki 1997, 1998, Jeffs & Holland 2000, Jeffs et al. 2005, Fisher et al. 2005), would theoretically provide increased capacity for settlers to reach suitable settlement habitat.”
