| site fidelity and homing in tropical coral reef cardinalfish: are they using olfactory cues? | a number of tropical coral reef fish hold station and display restricted home ranges. if artificially displaced, they will return to their home site. we questioned if marine fish are using the same mechanisms for home site detection as many freshwater fish, that is, by olfactory sensing of chemical signals deposited on the substrate by conspecific fish. behavioral experiments were conducted on lizard island research station, queensland, australia, in 2001 and 2002. five-lined cardinalfish (cheil ... | 2006 | 16436688 |
| host specificity and local infection dynamics of kudoa leptacanthae n. sp. (multivalvulida: kudoidae) from the pericardial cavity of two zoramia spp. (perciformes: apogonidae) at lizard island lagoon, queensland, australia. | kudoa leptacanthae n. sp. was identified within the pericardial cavities of two apogonid species, zoramia leptacantha and zoramia viridiventer, from waters off lizard island on the great barrier reef. the species shows a close taxonomic affinity, both morphologically and genetically, to kudoa shiomitsui egusa & shiomitsu 1983 reported from a tetraodontid and scombrid, both from japan. the infection was at high prevalences (average = 75.8% ± 0.63, n = 343) within schools of the two host species. ... | 2012 | 22922116 |
