How different can the offspring be from their parents? In reef fishes, we have many examples of juveniles that are very distinct from adults, such as in Acanthurus pyroferus. Photos from Moorea, Polynesia

New paper out: No Sign of Homogenisation in Reef Fish Communities Across an Ecological Transition Zone Exposed to Warming - doi.org/10.1111/ddi.13…

Did you know that fish also use tools? The research led by Juliette Tariel-Adam, titled “Fish Tool Use by New World Halichoeres Wrasses” expands scientific knowledge about this fascinating behavior of wrasses from the Halichoeres genus. See at: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

This continental island is Florianopolis, off the coast of southeastern Brazil, connected to the mainland during the Last Glacial Maximum 20,000 years ago. Check out this cool study on the paleodrainages of the region by Andrea Thomaz and colleagues. ufrgs.br/ictio/2017/08/…

Ever since Charles Darwin, scientists have assumed species facing the same problem often evolve similar traits. But that’s not always the case. Isabelle Ng Alexandre C Siqueira Edith Cowan University (ECU) James Cook Uni theconversation.com/we-study-plank…

🐟💥 Think tool use is just for humans, birds, or primates? Think again! New research reveals tropical wrasses smash open shellfish with rocks—proving fish are smarter (and craftier) than we thought. 🧠🔧 #ReefFish #AnimalBehavior #FishIntelligence phys.org/news/2025-03-r…

Coming soon!

🔧🐟 Wrasses using rocks as tools? It's true! A new study shows tool use in reef fish is more common than we thought with deep roots in evolution. These clever fish are anything but simple! 📄 See the full article at: link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Testing the idea of narrow niches in the tropics

Our new study was just published in Global Ecology and Biogeography. We analyzed diets and distribution of reef fishes worldwide to answer a key question: In what environments do the most ecologically specialized fishes thrive? Delecambre et al. (2025) doi.org/10.1111/geb.70…
