Abstract Different marine habitats are characterised by different soundscapes. How or which differences may be representative of the habitat characteristics and/or community structure remains however to explored. A growing project in passive acoustics is find a way use soundscapes have information on and its changes. In this study we successfully tested potential two acoustic indices, i.e. average sound pressure level complexity index based frequency spectrum. Inside outside protected areas...
Human activities can create noise pollution and there is increasing international concern about how this may impact wildlife. There evidence that anthropogenic have detrimental effects on behaviour physiology in many species but are few examples of experiments showing fitness be directly affected. Here we use a split-brood, counterbalanced, field experiment to investigate the effect repeated boat-noise playback during early life development survival marine invertebrate, sea hare Stylocheilus...
Some anthropogenic noise is now considered pollution, with evidence building that from human activities such as transportation, construction and exploration can impact behaviour physiology in a broad range of taxa. However, relatively little research has the effects repeated or chronic noise; extended exposures may result habituation sensitisation, thus changes response. We conducted field-based experiment at Moorea Island to investigate how exposure playback motorboat affected coral reef...
Most marine organisms have a biphasic life cycle during which pelagic larvae transform into radically different juveniles. In vertebrates, the role of thyroid hormones (THs) in triggering this transition is well known, but how morphological and physiological changes are integrated coherent way with ecological remains poorly explored. To gain insight question, we performed an analysis metamorphosis teleost, false clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris). We show THs coordinate change color vision as...
Larval recruitment, the transition of pelagic larvae into reef-associated juveniles, is a critical step for resilience marine fish populations but its molecular control unknown. Here, we investigate whether thyroid-hormones (TH) and their receptors (TR) coordinate larval recruitment coral-reef-fish Acanthurus triostegus. We demonstrate an increase TH-levels TR-expressions in pelagic-larvae, followed by decrease recruiting juveniles. generalize these observations four other coral reef-fish...
Abstract Larval metamorphosis and recruitment represent critical life-history transitions for most teleost fishes. While the detrimental effects of anthropogenic stressors on behavior survival recruiting fishes are well-documented, physiological mechanisms that underpin these patterns remain unclear. Here, we use pharmacological treatments to highlight role thyroid hormones (TH) play in sensory development determining anti-predator responses metamorphosing convict surgeonfish, Acanthurus...
Biologists have long been fascinated by the striking diversity of complex color patterns in tropical reef fishes. However, origins and evolution this are still poorly understood. Disentangling simple offers opportunity to dissect both ultimate proximate causes underlying diversity.Here, we study clownfishes, a tribe 30 species within Pomacentridae that displays relatively pattern made zero three vertical white stripes on dark body background. Mapping number evolutionary tree clownfishes...
While recent studies have suggested that fish mucus microbiota play an important role in homeostasis and prevention of infections, very few investigated the bacterial communities gill mucus. We characterised four butterflyfish species although diversity varied significantly between species, Shannon diversities were high (H = 3.7-5.7) all species. Microbiota composition differed butterflyfishes, with Chaetodon lunulatus C. ornatissimus having most similar communities, which from vagabundus...
Plastics are recognized as an environmental threat and have been detected all over the planet. in environment will degrade fragment due to physical, chemical and/or biological forces, creating smaller-sized particles, including micro- nanoplastics. Most microplastic particles identified secondary i.e., fragments from larger pieces, several show a level of degradation. However, information regarding how plastic degrades is lacking.Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP), Polylactic acid (PLA)...
Although fish is an important source of nutrients, including some the healthiest proteins, long-chain fatty acids, and essential selenium, species at top food chain often contain high levels mercury (Hg). The provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI) Hg from consumption calculated based on total concentration Hg, assuming that all in form organic methylmercury (MeHg). However, recent findings indicate species, even predators, may have concentrations but very low proportions MeHg. In this...
