In the first global assessment of its kind, a science team led by researchers at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego has produced a landmark report on the impact of fishing on a group ...

Leaving the comfort and safety of home to explore the world is a difficult decision. However, in a tiny coral reef fish called a neon goby, dads help their offspring take the plunge by pushing them ...

In an article recently published in the journal Global Change Biology, researchers comprehensively examined the physiological responses of coral reef fishes to extreme thermal variability in the ...

Almost half of all marine angelfishes surveyed so far hybridize frequently, both with close relatives and with distant relations, highlighting the question: what is a species? A juvenile marine ...

Researchers have found that reef fish from the Arabian Gulf, the world's hottest sea, exhibit a higher tolerance to temperature fluctuations compared to those from more thermally stable coral reefs.

Professor Nagelkerken's latest research, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, looks at the intrinsic and learned survival behavior of two types of tropical ...
