  • Marine Animal Behaviour in a High CO2 Ocean
    Vol. 536: 259–279, 2015 MARINE ECOLOGY PROGRESS SERIES Published September 29 doi: 10.3354/meps11426 Mar Ecol Prog Ser REVIEW Marine animal behaviour in a high CO2 ocean Jeff C. Clements*, Heather L. Hunt Department of Biology, University of New Brunswick Saint John Campus, 100 Tucker Park Road, Saint John E2L 4L5, NB, Canada ABSTRACT: Recently, the effects of ocean acidification (OA) on marine animal behaviour have garnered considerable attention, as they can impact biological interactions and, in turn, ecosystem structure and functioning. We reviewed current published literature on OA and marine behaviour and synthesize current understanding of how a high CO2 ocean may impact animal behaviour, elucidate critical unknowns, and provide suggestions for future research. Although studies have focused equally on vertebrates and invertebrates, vertebrate studies have primarily focused on coral reef fishes, in contrast to the broader diversity of invertebrate taxa studied. A quantitative synthesis of the direction and magnitude of change in behaviours from current conditions under OA scenarios suggests primarily negative impacts that vary depending on species, ecosystem, and behaviour. The interactive effects of co-occurring environmental parameters with increasing CO2 elicit effects different from those observed under elevated CO2 alone. Although 12% of studies have incorporated multiple factors, only one study has examined the effects of carbonate system variability on the behaviour of a marine animal. Altered GABAA receptor functioning under elevated CO2 appears responsible for many behavioural responses; however, this mechanism is unlikely to be universal. We recommend a new focus on determining the effects of elevated CO2 on marine animal behaviour in the context of multiple environmental drivers and future carbonate system variability, and the mechanisms governing the association between acid-base regulation and GABAA receptor functioning.

Abstract A checklist of shallow (to 60 m depth) reef fishes is provided for the Bird’s Head Peninsula region of West Papua, Indonesia. The area, which occupies the extreme western end of New Guinea, contains the world’s most diverse assemblage of coral reef fishes. The current checklist, which includes both historical records and recent survey results, includes 1,511 species in 451 genera and 111 families. Respective species totals for the three main coral reef areas – Raja Ampat Islands, Fakfak-Kaimana coast, and Cenderawasih Bay – are 1320, 995, and 877. In addition to its extraordinary species diversity, the region exhibits a remarkable level of endemism considering its relatively small area. A total of 26 species in 14 families are currently considered to be confined to the region.

The author made a visit to Rodrigues under the Darwin Initiative project Developing marine reserves for biodiversity conservation and sustainable fisheries in Rodrigues during September 2005. Local support was provided by Shoals Rodrigues. 2. Monitoring fish size changes associated with the introduction of marine reserves was identified as one key skill where local expertise was lacking. Training of staff from Shoals Rodrigues and the Fisheries Protection Service (FPS) to monitor live fish sizes was carried out using wooden models of known sizes. All participants showed marked improvements in size estimation over a series of in-water training sessions. Recommendations for further action are made, including continued snorkel training for FPS staff, continued size estimation training for all potential fish surveyors, and minimum standards for surveyors. A provisional list of fish species suitable for size monitoring is presented.

Since publication of Gill’s revision, 13 additional species of Pseudochromis have been described, mostly based on recent collections from the highly diverse Coral Triangle area of the West Pacific (Gill & Allen 2004, 2011; Allen et al. 2008; Gill et al. 2009, 2012a,b; Gill & Williams 2011; Gill & Zajonz 2011; Allen & Erdmann 2012).

Published by The Company of Biologists Ltd. SUMMARY The dusky dottyback goes through various cryptic stages and modifications of its visual system before turning into one of the most successful fish mimics on tropical coral reefs. ABSTRACT Animals often change their habitat throughout ontogeny; yet, the triggers for habitat transitions and how these correlate with developmental changes – e.g. physiological, morphological, and behavioural – remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated how ontogenetic changes in body colouration and of the visual system relate to habitat transitions in a coral-reef fish.

GILL1,2 1Macleay Museum and School of Biological Sciences, A12 – Macleay Building, The University of Sydney, New South Wales 2006, Aus- tralia. Email: [email protected] 2Ichthyology, Australian Museum, 6 College Street, Sydney, New South Wales 2010, Australia. Abstract The monotypic Australian pseudochromid fish genera Assiculus and Assiculoides had been previously included in the sub- family Pseudochrominae on the basis of symplesiomorphic characters. Osteological synapomorphies are identified in sup- port of a closer relationship to the remaining pseudochromid subfamilies. Two synapomorphies (five or fewer infraorbital bones, haemal spine of preural vertebra 2 attached to centrum) diagnose a clade consisting of Assiculoides, Pseudople- siopinae, Anisochrominae and Congrogadinae. Two additional synapomorphies (parhypural not separate from hypurals 1+2, total caudal-fin rays modally 27 or fewer) diagnose a more inclusive clade that also includes Assiculus. Two new subfamilies are erected to reflect these relationships. Key words: osteology; Assiculoidinae new subfamily; Assiculinae new subfamily; Australia; systematics Introduction The Indo-Pacific reef-fish family Pseudochromidae is currently divided into four subfamilies, three of which are demonstrably monophyletic: Anisochrominae (Gill & Fricke 2001); Congrogadinae (Godkin & Winterbottom 1985); Pseudoplesiopinae (Gill & Edwards 1999). The fourth subfamily, Pseudochrominae, is by far the largest with 10 genera and nearly 100 described species, but is diagnosed only by symplesiomorphic characters (Gill 2004): pelvic-fin rays I,5 (versus I,4 or fewer); all segmented pelvic-fin rays branched (vs.
