Therefore, it is not surprising that the fishes that live in these ecosystems have developed a number of specialized adaptations for life in such environments. A. Body Shape The typical coral reef fish body shape differs substantially from that of most open water fishes. The latter are ...

These include: i) con- tinuous cooperation between the same individuals, ii) behavioural adaptations to assist the partner, iii) adjustment of assistance provided according to received assistance, iv) cooperation not restricted to kin or potential mates, v) assistance entailing momentary net fitness ...
and/or adaptations to avoid resource limitation2. Indeed, fish typically do not have unlimited food resources in their natural environment107, and may need to balance demand and allocation with availability98,108. Larger individuals also have a higherper-capitaresource demand and may be less capable...
For those fish species that have been categorized as consumers of ‘unpalatable’ sponge species, we know little regarding their adaptations for consuming chemical exudates. A few marine species (e.g., gastropods and butterflyfishes) are known to feed regularly on allelochemically rich organisms (...
Cryptobenthic reef fishes (small, camouflaged, benthic-dwelling fishes) face exceptionally high mortality rates, yet they are the most abundant fishes on coral reefs. To maintain local adult populations in the face of these mortality rates, larval cryptobenthics may have adaptations that limit disper...

Widespread hypoxia tolerance in a habitat with such an extreme biodiversity as coral reefs indicate that there is a wealth of hypoxia related adaptations to be discovered in reef fishes. 展开 关键词: predator avoidance damselfish cardinalfish coral reefs hypoxia anoxia ...
partitus subpopulations are environmentally driven rather than linked to local adaptations. For S. partitus subpopulations at distributional boundaries where population densities may be low, demographic plasticity facil- itates high energetic investment in offspring for individuals with long lifespans and the...
