Ontogenetic dietary changes of coral reef fishes in the mangrove-seagrass-reef continuum: stable isotopes and gut-content analysis
Juveniles of a number of reef fish species develop in shallow-water Œnursery¹ habitats such
as mangroves and seagrass beds, and then migrate to the coral reef. This implies that some …

Diet of Neotropical parrots is independent of phylogeny but correlates with body size and geographical range
Body mass and geographical range are two main drivers of diet in animals, yet how these
factors influence diet in the morphologically and ecologically diverse avian group of …

Stable isotope and signature fatty acid analyses suggest reef manta rays feed on demersal zooplankton
Assessing the trophic role and interaction of an animal is key to understanding its general
ecology and dynamics. Conventional techniques used to elucidate diet, such as stomach …

What drives ontogenetic niche shifts of fishes in coral reef ecosystems?
Ontogenetic niche shifts are taxonomically and ecologically widespread across the globe.
Consequently, identifying the ecological mechanics that promote these shifts at diverse …

Diet shifts of Caribbean grunts (Haemulidae) and snappers (Lutjanidae) and the relation with nursery-to-coral reef migrations
The spatial size distribution of grunts and snappers have previously indicated the separation
of juveniles in nursery habitats from the adults on the coral reef. This implies life cycle …
