The role of fish feces for nutrient cycling on coral reefs
Consumers play an important role in biogeochemical cycles through the consumption and
release of essential elements such as carbon (C), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P). Indeed …

Temperature, species identity and morphological traits predict carbonate excretion and mineralogy in tropical reef fishes
Anthropogenic pressures are restructuring coral reefs globally. Sound predictions of the
expected changes in key reef functions require adequate knowledge of their drivers. Here …

Diet and habitat as determinants of intestine length in fishes
MJ Duque-Correa, KD Clements, C Meloro… - Reviews in Fish Biology …, 2024 - Springer
Fish biologists have long assumed a link between intestinal length and diet, and relative gut
length or Zihler's index are often used to classify species into trophic groups. This has been …

Riverine flow rate drives widespread convergence in the shell morphology of imperiled freshwater mussels
Frequent and strong morphological convergence suggests that determinism tends to
supersede historical contingencies in evolutionary radiations. For many lineages living …

Metabolic rates mirror morphological and behavioral differences in two sand-dwelling coral reef gobies
Morphology, physiology, and behavior are the primary axes of organismal diversification,
and phenotypic differentiation among species in any of these dimensions can be indicative …
