Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes
Pacific Plate Biogeography, with Special Reference to Shorefishes VICTOR G. SPRINGER m SMITHSONIAN CONTRIBUTIONS TO ZOOLOGY • NUMBER 367 SERIES PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION Emphasis upon publication as a means of "diffusing knowledge" was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: "It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge." This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series: Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics Smithsonian Contributions to Botany Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology Smithsonian Contributions to Zoo/ogy Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world cf science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world. Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. -
Biodiversity of Shallow Reef Fish Assemblages in Western Australia Using a Rapid Censusing Technique
Records of the Western Australian Museum 20: 247-270 (2001). Biodiversity of shallow reef fish assemblages in Western Australia using a rapid censusing technique J. Harry Hutchins Department of Aquatic Zoology, Western Australian Museum, Francis Street, Perth, Western Australia 6000, Australia email: [email protected] Abstract -A rapid assessment methodology was used to provide relative abundance data on selected families of Western Australian fishes. Twenty shallow water reef sites were surveyed covering the coastline between the Recherche Archipelago in the south east and the Kimberley in the north. Three groups of atolls located off the Kimberley coast were also included. Eighteen families that best represent the State's nearshore reef fish fauna were targeted. They are: Serranidae, Caesionidae, Lu~anidae, Haemulidae, Lethrinidae, Mullidae, Pempherididae, Kyphosidae, Girellidae, Scorpididae, Chaetodontidae, Pomacanthidae, Pomacentridae, Cheilodactylidae, Labridae, Odacidae, Acanthuridae, and Monacanthidae. Analysis of the dataset using a hierarchical classification technique indicates that four groups of reef fishes are present: a southwest assemblage, a northwest assemblage, an offshore atolls assemblage, and a Kimberley assemblage. The first assemblage is comprised mainly of temperate species, while the latter three are mostly tropical fishes; these two broader groupings narrowly overlap on the west coast between Kalbarri and the Houtman Abrolhos. Evidence of a wide zone of temperate/tropical overlap-as proposed by some previous studies-is not supported by this analysis, nor is the presence of a prominent subtropical fauna on the west coast. Ecological differences of the four assemblages are explored, as well as the impact by the Leeuwin Current on this arrangement. INTRODUCTION western and southern coasts of the State, but could Western Australia occupies about 23 degrees of only provide a brief comparison with other more latitude (12-35°5) covering a large and varied northern areas. -

Predator-Prey Relations at a Spawning Aggregation Site of Coral Reef Fishes

Petersen2, Phillip S. Lobel3 1Department of Biology, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543, USA 2College of the Atlantic, 105 Eden St., Bar Harbor, Maine 04609, USA 3Boston University Marine Program, Woods Hole, Massachusetts 02543, USA ABSTRACT: Predation is a selective force hypothesized to influence the spawning behavior of coral reef fishes. This study describes and quantifies the predatory activities of 2 piscivorous (Caranx melampygus and Aphareus furca) and 2 planktivorous (Melichthys niger and M. vidua) fishes at a coral reef fish-spawning aggregation site in Johnston Atoll (Central Pacific). To characterize preda- tor-prey relations, the spawning behavior of prey species was quantified simultaneously with mea- surements of predatory activity, current speed and substrate topography. The activity patterns of pis- civores was typical of neritic, daylight-active fish. Measured both as abundance and attack rates, predatory activity was highest during the daytime, decreased during the late afternoon, and reached a minimum at dusk. The highest diversity of spawning prey species occurred at dusk, when pisci- vores were least abundant and overall abundance of prey fishes was lowest. The abundance and predatory activity of the jack C. melampygus were positively correlated with the abundance of spawning prey, and therefore this predator was considered to have a flexible prey-dependent activ- ity pattern. By contrast, the abundance and activity of the snapper A. furca were generally not corre- lated with changes in abundance of spawning fishes. -

NEMETH, and RICHARD S. APPELDOORN Department of Marine Sciences, University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez, Puerto Rico 00681 ABSTRACT Coral reef fishes use a variety of habitats throughout daily, ontogenetic, and spawning migrations, therefore requiring a suite of habitats to complete their life cycle. The use of multiple habitats by grunts (Haemulidae) and snappers (Lutjanidae) was investigated at Mona Island, a remote island off western Puerto Rico. The objective of this study was to determine if the distribution of three different life stages was random in relation to benthic habitat types. Coral reef fish were sampled throughout all habitat types randomly over a period of six months. For seven species of grunts and snappers median fork length was significantly different by habitat type identifying critical habitats for juveniles distinct from adult habitats. Within a life stage significant differences were observed in fish density by habitat type. Early juvenile grunts and snappers were more abundant in habitats of depths less than 5 m, mainly in rocky shores and seagrass areas with patches of coral or other hard structures. Larger juveniles were significantly more abundant in depths less than 5m in coral dominated habitats. Adults were abundant throughout the habitats of all depth ranges, except for two species Haemulon chrysargyreum and Lutjanus mahogoni, which were limited to shallower habitats. -

Phylogenetic analyses were Fish performed on 97 grunt species based on sequence data collected from seven loci. Divergence time estimation Functional traits indicates that Haemulidae originated during the mid Eocene (54.7–42.3 Ma) but that the major lineages were Morphospace formed during the mid-Oligocene 30–25 Ma. We propose a new classification that reflects the phylogenetic Macroevolution history of grunts. Overall the pattern of morphological and functional diversification in grunts appears to be Zooplanktivore strongly linked with feeding ecology. Feeding traits and the first principal component of body shape strongly separate species that feed in benthic and pelagic habitats. The benthic-to-pelagic axis has been the major axis of ecomorphological diversification in this important group of tropical shoreline fishes, with about 13 transitions between feeding habitats that have had major consequences for head and body morphology. -
