Fish communities face increasing anthropogenic pressures in freshwater and marine
ecosystems that modify their biodiversity and threaten the services they supply to human …

Surgeonfishes have had a long evolutionary history that has been closely linked with coral
reef ecosystems. Today they are a key component of reef fish assemblages, playing a …

Equatorial populations of marine species are predicted to be most impacted by global
warming because they could be adapted to a narrow range of temperatures in their local …

Metabolic rates of aquatic organisms are estimated from measurements of oxygen
consumption rates () through swimming and resting respirometry. These distinct approaches …

Tropical coral reef teleosts are exclusively ectotherms and their capacity for physical and
physiological performance is therefore directly influenced by ambient temperature. This …

Reef fishes are closely connected to many human populations, yet their contributions to
society are mostly considered through their economic and ecological values. Cultural and …

1. While environmental filters are well-known factors influencing community assembly, the
extent to which these modify species functions, and entire ecosystem processes, is poorly …

Behaviour can offset the limitations of the morphology and physiology of a species to
profoundly influence patterns of resource use. In fishes, flow refuging is a behavioural …

Energy metabolism fuels swimming and other biological processes. We compared the
swimming performance and energy metabolism within and across eight freshwater fish …

Fish swimming modes and the shape of both the fins and body are expected to affect their
swimming ability under different flow conditions. These swimming strategies and body …
