Overlaps in habitat use of fishes between a seagrass bed and adjacent coral and sand areas at Amitori Bay, Iriomote Island, Japan: Importance of the seagrass bed as juvenile habitat (2004, background): “were most abundant, followed by the seagrass-feeding scarids Calotomus spinidens and Leptoscarus vaigiensis (Appendix I).(28) The major differences in fish fauna between the Caribbean and West Pacific tropical seagrass beds included Haemulidae and Lutjanidae, being minor groups in the present study ”
Fistularia commersonii in the Mediterranean Sea: invasion history and distribution modeling based on presence-only records (2013, background): “information on the biology and ecology of the bluespotted cornetfish and the available data are mainly limited to its predatory feeding behaviour (Corsini et al. 2002; Takeuchi et al. 2002; Nakamura et al. 2003; Kalogirou et al. 2007; Bariche et al. 2009; Takeuchi 2009) and reproduction (Bariche et ”
Structuring of Indo-Pacific fish assemblages along the mangrove-seagrass continuum (2009, background): “Larger fish, which are less at risk from predation, may prefer to remain in the seagrass beds where food is abundant (Ogden & Zeimann 1977).”
Integrating ecological roles and trophic diversification on coral reefs: multiple lines of evidence identify parrotfishes as microphages (2016, background): “Species key (N): Scarinae (parrotfishes) - 1 Bolbometopon muricatum (4); 2 Chlorurus microrhinos (4); 3 Ch. spilurus (4); 4 Scarus flavipectoralis (3); 5 Sc. niger (4); 6 Sc. rivulatus (3); 7 Sc. schlegeli (4); 8 Calotomus carolinus (2); Pomacanthidae (angelfishes) - 9 Centropyge bicolor (4); Acanth”
Diel trophic structuring of seagrass bed fish assemblages in the Wakatobi Marine National Park, Indonesia (2007, methodology): “The present study, that of Nakamura et al. (2003) in Japan and the work of Khalaf and Kochzius (2002) in the Red Sea have shown that seagrass beds do not contain geographically consistent trophic assemblages suggesting factors such as tidal movements and currents may have high local or regional si”
Diet composition of carnivorous fishes from coral reef lagoons of New Caledonia (2005, unknown): “The present study, as many others (e.g. McCormick 1998; Piet 1998; Jennings et al. 2001; Hanson and Chouinard 2002; Nakamura et al. 2003) indicates that there may be important changes of diet with size, many species switching from smaller, easier to access prey, to larger prey or to prey more…”
Comparison of invertebrate abundance in a seagrass bed and adjacent coral and sand areas at Amitori Bay, Iriomote Island, Japan (2005, background): “This may reflect the abundance of important food resources for these invertebrates, such as diatoms, micro- and macro-algae, fungi and detritus on the surfaces of seagrasses and/or in the seagrass bed sediments.34 The dominance of invertebrate herbivores and/or detritivores has been well documented ”
