Marine habitats vary widely in structure, from incredibly complex coral reefs to simpler deep
water and open ocean habitats. Hydromechanical models of swimming kinematics and …

Like aquatic habitats in nature, artificial reefs (ARs) have been investigated to determine
whether their complexity affects species diversity. Moreover, studies have been carried out …

The morphological and functional traits of fishes are key factors defining the ecological and
biological habits of species within ecosystems. However, little is known about how the depth …

Batoids, distributed from shallow to abyssal depths, are considerably vulnerable to
anthropogenic threats. Data deficiencies on the distribution patterns of batoids, however …

Abstract The Cayos Cochinos archipelago forms part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef
System (MBRS) and is one of the first marine protected areas (MPAs) created in Honduras in …

Abstract Knowledge of the ecology, spatial distribution and conservation status of fish
populations is achieved by fishery‐dependent techniques, and by more recently developed …

This study provides baseline data on demersal fish assemblages in a heterogeneous but
little-studied portion of the shelf of Antalya Gulf. The distribution of fish abundances along …

The objective of this study was to characterize the trophic structure of fish assemblages on
the coasts of offshore islands and the eastern mainland of the Korean Peninsula. We …

The efficacy of fish diversity surrogates is central to their utility in conservation planning and
management. Here we examine the linkages among a range of biotic and abiotic surrogates …

We applied and compared three different sets of landmarks and semilandmarks commonly
used in studies of fish assemblages to identify a standardized method of landmark selection …
