Larval settlement and juvenile group dynamics in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella)

Creator:

Booth, David J. (David John), 1958-

Abstract:

Patterns of settlement of larvae and population dynamics of juveniles are poorly known for coral reef fishes. During 1987 to 1989, I studied these phenomena in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella), a species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Larvae settle onto branching coral heads as new recruits (10-15 mm in...

The roles of environmental constraints and aggression on male-female pairing in the coral-reef fish Gobiosoma evelynae

Creator:

Harding, Jeffrey A.

Abstract:

Early theoretical models for the evolution of male-female pairing were based largely on studies of birds. These models assumed that biparental care of eggs and young was an essential component of pairing. However, male-female pairing is also a relatively common social system in coral-reef fishes, and biparental care of young...

Habitat selection behavior in three species of anuran larvae : environmental cues, ontogeny, and adaptive significance

Creator:

O'Hara, Richard K.

Abstract:

Habitat selection behavior was investigated as a proximate mechanism influencing spatial distributions of three species of anuran larvae. Rana cascadae, Hyla regilla, and Bufo boreas overlap in distribution in lakes and ponds of the Cascade Mts. and were chosen to provide a comparative basis for analyzing habitat selection behavior. Major...
