Movement of fishes in the aquatic realm is fundamental to their ecology and survival.
Movement can be driven by a variety of biological, physiological and environmental factors …

For centuries, humans have been fascinated by how migratory animals find their way over
thousands of kilometres. Here, I review the mechanisms used in animal orientation and …

How coral reefs survive as oases of life in low-productivity oceans has puzzled scientists for
centuries. The answer may lie in internal nutrient cycling and/or input from the pelagic zone …

Predicted future CO2 levels have been found to alter sensory responses and behaviour of
marine fishes. Changes include increased boldness and activity, loss of behavioural …

Plastic pollution is an anthropogenic stressor in marine ecosystems globally. Many species
of marine fish (more than 50) ingest plastic debris. Ingested plastic has a variety of lethal and …

Ocean acidification negatively affects many marine species and is predicted to cause
widespread changes to marine ecosystems. Similarly, freshwater ecosystems may …

The persistence of most coastal marine species depends on larvae finding suitable adult
habitat at the end of an offshore dispersive stage that can last weeks or months. We tested …

Live corals are the key habitat forming organisms on coral reefs, contributing to both
biological and physical structure. Understanding the importance of corals for reef fishes is …

Larval transport is defined as the horizontal translocation of a larva between points x1, y1
and x2, y2, where x and y are horizontal axes, say, perpendicular and parallel to the …

Population connectivity plays significant roles on both evolutionary and ecological time-
scales; however, quantifying the magnitude and pattern of exchange between populations of …
