| fatty acid composition indicating diverse habitat use in coral reef fishes in the malaysian south china sea. | in order to understand feeding ecology and habitat use of coral reef fish, fatty acid composition was examined in five coral reef fishes, thalassoma lunare, lutjanus lutjanus, abudefduf bengalensis, scarus rivulatus and scolopsis affinis collected in the bidong island of malaysian south china sea. | 2015 | 25762238 |
| parrotfish grazing ability: interspecific differences in relation to jaw-lever mechanics and relative weight of adductor mandibulae on an okinawan coral reef. | parrotfishes (family labridae: scarini) are regarded to have important roles for maintaining the ecosystem balance in coral reefs due to their removal of organic matter and calcic substrates by grazing. the purpose of the present study was to clarify the interspecific differences in grazing ability of five parrotfish species (chlorurus sordidus, c. bowersi, scarus rivulatus, s. niger and s. forsteni) in relation to interspecific differences in jaw-lever mechanics and the relative weight of the a ... | 2016 | 27635364 |
