Repeatability of behavioural and physiological traits is increasingly a focus for animal
researchers, for which fish have become important models. Almost all of this work has been …

Mortality through predation is often selective, particularly at life‐history bottlenecks. While
many studies have looked at the importance for survival of specific prey characteristics in …

Habitat degradation alters the chemical landscape through which information about
community dynamics is transmitted. Olfactory information is crucial for risk assessment in …

Flexibility in behavior is advantageous for organisms that transition between stages of a
complex life history. However, various constraints can set limits on plasticity, giving rise to …

Highlights•Risk assessment of fishes can change when coral reefs become
degraded.•Some species can no longer use chemical alarm cues to inform, learn and …

Highlights•Caribbean parrotfish freeze when they see or smell native predatory
groupers.•Caribbean parrotfish do not respond to similar cues from invasive predatory …

A variety of sensory cues could be operating to aid fishes in finding benthic settlement
habitat. Visual cues are thought to be most important over short distances when light is …

Settlement is arguably the last stage of high mortality in the life cycle of many marine fish
species with a bipartite life cycle, making the number of larvae that settle successfully to a …

We investigated the impact of captive life on behaviour and learning abilities in an
enigmatic, aquifer-dwelling blind eel, Rakthamichthys digressus. Of eight major behavioural …
