Ecological importance of sharks and rays in a structural foodweb analysis in southern Brazil (2014, background): “Tropical marine regions, on the other hand, are known for their high diversity (e.g. Floeter and Gasparini, 2000; Joyeux et al., 2001; Heithaus et al., 2010).”
Patterns of distribution and processes of speciation in Brazilian reef fishes (2003, background): “…and revalidations of fishes endemic to Brazilian reefs (Rocha et al., 2001; Rocha & Rosa, 2001b), faunal surveys (Rocha et al., 1998; Gasparini & Floeter, 2001; Rocha & Rosa, 2001a) and consequently zoogeographical analyses (Floeter & Gasparini, 2000; Floeter et al., 2001; Joyeux et al., 2001).”
Atlantic reef fish biogeography and evolution (2007, background): “Journal compilation ª 2007 Blackwell Publishing Ltd distributions of Atlantic reef fishes compiled to date (Table S1, Supplementary Material).”
Reef fish community structure in the Tropical Eastern Pacific (Panamá): living on a relatively stable rocky reef environment (2006, background): “While the Indo-Pacific regions have been suggested as evolutionary source of many reef fish species worldwide (Mora et al. 2003), the TWA is believed to be the centre of diversity for both fish and corals in the Atlantic Ocean (Briggs 1995; Veron 1995; Floeter and Gasparini 2000 ).”
Biogeography of tropical reef fishes: the South Atlantic puzzle (2001, background): “The south-western Atlantic is overall characterized by high endemism, about 18±20% for reef ®shes (Floeter & Gasparini, 2000).”
Phylogeography of two Atlantic squirrelfishes (Family Holocentridae): exploring links between pelagic larval duration and population connectivity (2006, background): “Phylogeography The Caribbean and Brazilian reefs are separated by the freshwater outflows of the Amazon and Orinoco Rivers, and associated soft bottom habitats (Floeter and Gasparini 2000; Rocha 2003).”
Reef fish community structure on coastal islands of the southeastern Brazil: the influence of exposure and benthic cover (2007, background): “These islands have the richest reef-fish fauna ever recorded in a single area on the southwestern Atlantic (Floeter and Gasparini 2000; Floeter et al. 2001; Gasparini and Floeter unpublished data).”
Community structure and diet of roving herbivorous reef fishes in the Abrolhos Archipelago, south‐western Atlantic (2006, background): “Moreover, the Brazilian fauna is of considerable interest as it sustains a high rate of endemic herbivorous fishes (Floeter & Gasparini, 2000; Moura & Sazima, 2003), including several newly described scarids (Moura et al., 2001; Gasparini et al., 2004).”
Latitudinal gradients in Atlantic reef fish communities: trophic structure and spatial use patterns (2004, background): “In the Atlantic Ocean, the Caribbean is the centre of diversity, both in terms of fishes and corals (Briggs, 1995; Veron, 1995; Floeter & Gasparini, 2000).”
Trophic structure patterns of Brazilian reef fishes: a latitudinal comparison (2004, background): “They are partially separated from the Caribbean to the north by the Amazon outflow, which results in numerous examples of regional endemism (Floeter & Gasparini, 2000, 2001; Joyeux et al., 2001; Rocha, 2003).”
Island biogeography: patterns of marine shallow‐water organisms in the Atlantic Ocean (2015, background): “The larger percentage of endemic fishes on more isolated islands presumably reflects reduced gene flow in more isolated populations (Floeter & Gasparini, 2000; Whittaker & Fern andez-Palacios, 2007).”
