Age-based demography and reproductive ontogeny of angelfishes belonging to the family Pomacanthidae
There is an urgent need to understand population dynamics and life history characteristics of reef fishes that are highly exploited and limited in distribution to facilitate effective management and make predictions of potential impact. This is important within the pomacanthids family in which no …

Feeding ecomorphology in angelfishes, f. Pomacanthidae: the implications of functional innovations on prey-dislodgement in biting reef fishes
… with a focus on the marine angelfishes (f. Pomacanthidae), and other deep-bodied squamipinnid fishes. To evaluate the magnitude and role of functional specialisation associated with prey-capture in angelfishes, a basal species, Pomacanthus semicirculatus (Cuvier, 1931) was selected as a …

Phylogeny and Biogeography of the Family Haemulidae Based on a Multigene Approach
… together with Callanthiidae, Malacanthidae, Pomacanthidae, Emmelichthyidae, Acanthuriformes, Monodactylidae, Sciaenidae, Chaetodontidae, and Leiognathidae; however, support for this group is weak.</p> <p>Further, I test the utility of mitogenomes (14 genera, 26 species; ~16,000 bp) and …

Causes and possible consequences of hybridisation in angelfishes at Christmas Island
The angelfishes (family Pomacanthidae) have the greatest proportion (~30%) of hybridising species, compared to other families of reef fishes, with 26 species implicated in hybridisation. However, very little is known about hybridisation in angelfish, especially in terms of fitness of the hybrids …

Wave energy and the role of swimming in reef fish ecology
… Labridae, Lutjanidae, Nemipteridae, Pomacanthidae, Pomacentridae, Serranidae, Siganidae and Zanclidae), the generality of this functional relationship was examined both among and within swimming modes, and across tropical and temperate reef fish assemblages. Wave-induced water motion …
