The identification of patterns in habitat use by fish guilds may provide an integrated
perspective of coastal mosaics. Thus, we used multivariate analyses to assess the relative …

This study provides insights into the intricate dynamics of coastal muddy bottoms within
tropical regions spanning from the Amazon to the São Francisco River estuary. Through …

Coastal habitat mosaics are among the most productive ecosystem on earth, having
important functions for fish species throughout their life cycle. The complex dynamic of these …

Life history theory predicts that organisms optimize their life-history traits according to
evolutionary context and environmental constraints. Sympatric estuarine-dependent fish are …

Coastal marine ecosystems have structural and functional features usually connected by the
seasonal transfer of nutrients and organisms. These environments can utilize inter …

The coast of Bahia state is the longest along the Brazilian coastline, and there are significant
knowledge gaps concerning its estuarine fish fauna. Thus, there is a need to provide …

Mullet are ecologically important but biologically complex species, presenting challenges in
differentiation based on their body characteristics due to strong morphological conservatism …

The study of beta diversity and its turnover and nestedness components allows us to
understand the mechanisms that structure biotic communities within an ecosystem, which in …

The fish assemblage and functional guild composition of Matla estuary (ME), Indian
Sundarbans, was studied across different estuarine reaches and seasons for the first time …

Context Disentangling mechanisms influencing the seasonal and spatial distribution of fish
is essential to understanding population dynamics. In the south-western Atlantic, the …
