| dactylogyrids (platyhelminthes: monogenoidea) parasitizing butterfly fishes (teleostei: chaetodontidae) from the coral reefs of palau, moorea, wallis, new caledonia, and australia: species of euryhaliotrematoides n. gen. and aliatrema n. gen. | seven species of euryhaliotrematoides n. gen. and 1 species of aliatrema n. gen. (monogenoidea; dactylogyridae) are described and reported from the gills of 15 species of butterfly fishes (chaetodontidae) from the coral reefs of moorea (french polynesia), wallis (wallis and futuna), heron and lizard (australia), palau (micronesia), and new caledonia: aliatrema cribbi n. sp. from chaetodon auriga, chaetodon lunula, chaetodon trifasciatus, chaetodon ulietensis, chaetodon vagabundus, forcipiger fla ... | 2004 | 15165056 |
| a complex of species related to paradiscogaster glebulae (digenea: faustulidae) in chaetodontid fishes (teleostei: perciformes) of the great barrier reef. | a total of 1523 individuals of 34 species of chaetodontids from the great barrier reef were examined for faustulid trematodes. specimens resembling paradiscogaster glebulae bray, cribb & barker, 1994 were found in nine chaetodontid species at three localities. these specimens are shown, on the basis of combined morphological and molecular analyses, to comprise a complex of morphologically similar and partly cryptic species. the complex may comprise as many as six distinct species of which three ... | 2015 | 26096311 |
| hard coral (porites lobata) extracts and homarine on cytochrome p450 expression in hawaiian butterflyfishes with different feeding strategies. | dietary specialists tend to be less susceptible to the effects of chemical defenses produced by their prey compared to generalist predators that feed upon a broader range of prey species. while many researchers have investigated the ability of insects to detoxify dietary allelochemicals, little research has been conducted in marine ecosystems. we investigated metabolic detoxification pathways in three species of butterflyfishes: the hard coral specialist feeder, chaetodon multicinctus, and two g ... | 2016 | 26297807 |
| specialist corallivores dominate butterflyfish assemblages in coral-dominated reef habitats. | this study examined the dietary habits and functional composition of butterflyfishes in the chagos archipelago, central indian ocean. eighteen species of butterflyfishes were recorded in chagos, including six obligate corallivores (chaetodon bennetti, chaetodon guttatissimus, chaetodon meyeri, chaetodon trifascialis, chaetodon trifasciatus and chaetodon zanzibarensis), five facultative corallivores (chaetodon auriga, chaetodon falcula, chaetodon interruptus, chaetodon kleinii and chaetodon madag ... | 2013 | 23557298 |
