This paper explores strong interdependence between reef fishes and scleractinian corals, focusing on the data necessary to establish linked vulnerabilities of fish and coral given increasing incidence of major disturbances. A large and increasing number of studies purport to show strong coral dependence ...
Scleractinian species consist of physiologically heterogeneous individuals that can opportunistically use different resources. Yet, intraspecific variability has often been overlooked in trait-based ecology, assuming uniformity among conspecifics. This study assessed individual contributions to physiological proxies i...

Fish-specific caspases have been found, such as the CARD-containing caspase-8 for example (28), but caspase-2 is, at present, the only characterized DXXDase with a CARD. We chose two caspases from each species to characterize further, based on the sequence comparisons with human effector ...
(TCA) cycle intermediates104, and have been widely described in vertebrates for their role in calcification105,106,107,108. The tricarboxylic acid citrate has also been found to be strongly bound to the bone nanocrystals in fish, avian, and mammalian bone109, whereas in corals no study has ...
(Fig. 1C). The discordance among mitochondrial DNA markers has been previously discussed15and is potentially caused by pseudogenes in the mitochondrial genome of some corals, as similarly detected in fish44. This scenario may also explain the high values of haplotype and nucleotide diversity in ...
Saithe were observed with highest densities near the basis of the bioherms, on the up-current side, while redfish had highest densities on the parallel-current side of the bioherm top. These results indicate that near bottom currents and turbulence are factors affecting the fauna on Lophelia ...
When settling on coral reefs, fish larvae generally change from zooplanktivory to diverse forms of benthic feeding. Whereas food has not been reported to d... ML Harmelin-Vivien - 《Environmental Biology of Fishes》 被引量: 106发表: 1989年 Feeding biology of the crown-of-thorns starfish, ...
(LDLR)-related proteins that have co-evolved in egg-laying and viviparous animals51. Regarding VGR studies in vertebrates, proteins with a high affinity for VG have been identified and characterised on the oocyte membrane from chicken51,52,53, frog53, and several fish species, including the ...
Moreover, because scleractinians belong to the phylum Cnidaria (e.g., corals, sea anemones, hydras, and jellyfish), which are regarded as evolutionarily basal in the animal kingdom, studies highlighting common mechanisms of sexual reproduction between scleractinians and advanced animals (e.g., ...
