Reproductive Timing in Marine Fishes: Variability, Temporal Scales, and Methods (2011, background): “For species with highly synchronized diel patterns and that aggregate to spawn, the interval between aggregations may indicate spawning interval (e.g., silver pomfret Pampus argenteus: Almatar et al. 2004; rabbitfishes [family Siganidae]: Takemura et al. 2004).”
The lunar cycle: a cue for amphibian reproductive phenology? (2009, background): “Lunar periodicity in marine animals is not necessarily tidally mediated; some marine animals respond specifically to lunar light (Takemura et al. 2004).”
Fishery-induced demographic changes in the timing of spawning: consequences for reproductive success* (2009, background): “Phases of the moon are also used to synchronize reproduction in many species, including those that do not spawn annually such as many tropical reef fishes (Johannes, 1978; Takemura et al. 2004; Park et al. 2006; Gladstone 2007).”
