Functional groups of lagoon fish species in Languedoc Roussillon, southern France (2004, background): “…Nagelkerke, 2001); (iii) ratio between length (pL) and depth (pd) of the pectoral fin, pectoral fin aspect ratio (pL : pd), which is strongly correlated to swimming performance for labrid species (Walker & Westneat, 2000; Bellwood & Wainwright, 2001; Bellwood et al., 2002; Wainwright et al., 2002).”
Contrasting changes in taxonomic vs. functional diversity of tropical fish communities after habitat degradation. (2010, background): “…been used for several decades to assess fish ecological niches and then to seek (1) interregional convergence (Winemiller 1991), (2) assembly rules in fish communities (Bellwood et al. 2002, Mason et al. 2008), and (3) relationships between fish traits and environments (Wainwright et al. 2002).”
Wave exposure, swimming performance, and the structure of tropical and temperate reef fish assemblages (2004, background): “Differences in fin morphology and swimming performance were suggested to be important determinants of these patterns on coral reefs (Bellwood and Wainwright 2001; Fulton et al. 2001; Bellwood et al. 2002), and this study demonstrates a comparable link between swimming performance and labrid distribu”
Latitudinal gradients in Atlantic reef fish communities: trophic structure and spatial use patterns (2004, methodology): “Trophic strategies, food availability and spatial use habits certainly play an important role in shaping patterns of abundance and habitat distribution in fishes (Harmelin-Vivien, 1989; Bellwood et al., 2002; Wainwright & Bellwood, 2002).”
Reef fish community structure in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (Panamá): living on a relatively stable rocky reef environment (2006, background): “These patterns are similar among geographical regions ( Bellwood et al. 2002 ).”
Reef fish community structure on coastal islands of the southeastern Brazil: the influence of exposure and benthic cover (2007, background): “The pattern found here (i.e. directly related to exposure gradient) is very similar to the pattern of labrid distribution based on ‘swimming abilities’ found in the Great Barrier Reef and the Caribbean (Bellwood and Wainwright 2001; Fulton et al. 2001; Bellwood et al. 2002; Wainwright et al. 2002).”
