Abstract

Phenotypic variation within populations are essential for biological evolution. Indeed, phenotypic variation can serve as the raw products upon which natural selection acts. Accordingly, we might question if the level of morphological variation (i.e.disparity) might vary over the ontogeny of one species. Here, I test the hypothetical variation of body shape disparity level between post-larval and adult stages in coral reef fishes. Landmark-based geometric morphometrics methods were used to quantify body shapevariation during ontogeny for four species from Moorea Island (French Polynesia) : the surgeonfishes Acanthurus triostegus and Ctenochaetus striatus, the damselfish Chromis viridis, and the cardinalfish Pristiapogon exostigma. First, post-larvae and adults significantly differ in their body shape, and these variations were discussed in a ecomorphological context. Except C.viridis, all the species showed a higher level of morphological disparity at adult stage than at larval stage. This could be explained by a hyper-specialization of C.viridis in the adult stage for habitat use while the other species can use more habitats in the adult stage than in the post-larval stage.

Abstract

This volume contains a series of papers prepared for presentation at the 14th International Coral Reef Symposium, originally planned for July 2020 in Bremen, Germany, but postponed until 2021 (online) and 2022 (in person) because of the COVID-19 pandemic. It contains a series of papers illustrating the breadth of modern studies on coral reefs and the response of the reef science community to the threats that coral reefs now face, above all from climate change. The first group of papers focus on the biology of a selection of reef organisms, ranging from sea fans to coral dwelling crabs. The next group describe studies of coral communities and ecological interactions in regions as diverse as Florida, Kenya, Colombia, and Norway. Further papers describe investigations into the effects of global warming (in the Maldives and in Timor-Leste) and of other impacts (UV blockers, ocean acidification). The final two papers describe the latest applications of satellite and camera technology to the challenge of mapping and monitoring reefs.

Abstract

An illustrated look at corals from around the worldCorals are among the most varied lifeforms on Earth, ranging from mushroom corals and leather corals to button polyps, sea fans, anemones, and pulse corals. Bridging the gap between plant and animal, these marine invertebrates serve as homes to reef fish and share symbiotic relationships with photosynthesizing algae, which provide corals with their nourishment. This stunningly illustrated book profiles the astonishing diversity of the world's coral groups, describing key aspects of their natural history and explaining why coral reefs are critical to the health of our oceans. Representative examples of corals have been selected to illustrate the broad range of species, and the book's lively and informative commentary covers everything from identification to conservation, making it an essential resource for marine biologists, divers, and anyone who is fascinated by these remarkable sea creatures.Features more than 200 exquisite color photosHighlights key aspects of corals and their natural historyFeatures representative examples from around the worldIncludes photos of rare and unusual species
