Tropical fishes dominate temperate reef fish communities within western Japan

Y Nakamura, DA Feary, M Kanda, K Yamaoka - PLoS One, 2013 - journals.plos.org
Climate change is resulting in rapid poleward shifts in the geographical distribution of

What drives ontogenetic niche shifts of fishes in coral reef ecosystems?

IA Kimirei, I Nagelkerken, M Trommelen, P Blankers… - Ecosystems, 2013 - Springer
Ontogenetic niche shifts are taxonomically and ecologically widespread across the globe.
Consequently, identifying the ecological mechanics that promote these shifts at diverse …

Recruitment of coral reef fishes: effects of distribution of predators and shelter

MJ Shulman - Ecology, 1985 - Wiley Online Library

Geographic coupling of juvenile and adult habitat shapes spatial population dynamics of a coral reef fish

CM Huijbers, I Nagelkerken, AO Debrot, E Jongejans - Ecology, 2013 - Wiley Online Library

Settlement preferences in coral‐reef fishes: Effects on patterns of adult and juvenile distributions, individual fitness and population structure

DJ Booth, G Wellington - Australian Journal of Ecology, 1998 - Wiley Online Library
Coral‐reef fishes exhibit a wide range of habitat preferences at settlement. However, the
consequences of these preferences to fitness and population dynamics are poorly known …

Depth distributions of coral reef fishes: the influence of microhabitat structure, settlement, and post-settlement processes

M Srinivasan - Oecologia, 2003 - Springer
Many coral reef fishes have restricted depth ranges that are established at settlement or
soon after, but the factors limiting these distributions are largely unknown. This study …
