Animalia Land-dwelling rats are upending life for coral reef fish When rats invade tropical islands, they can trigger a chain reaction that reverberates all the way to coral reefs, researchers say ...

Predators keep plankton-eating fish from growing too numerous. When waves sweep plankton onto reefs, the fish devour them and in turn are eaten by larger fish.

Some of the fish that live in anemones and reefs go through intense physiological changes during adolescence.

I was part of an international team of scientists that, for the first time, tracked wild populations of five species of coral reef fish before, during, and after the 2016 marine heatwave. From a ...

Scientists have found that feces from certain fish species might act as a probiotic for coral reefs.

Changes in fish populations were most obvious in coral reefs that became engulfed in forests of seaweed -- but all bleached coral reef communities showed signs of damage.

The study incorporates the social nature of fish feeding habits into a mathematical simulation of a coral reef ecosystem under fishing pressure. Gil’s previous research has found that even between ...

A vibrant blue fish was carried off to its presumable demise by a powerful osprey, with the bird's giant talons gripping the pancake-shaped sea creature and the bird’s golden-yellow eyes ...

Clownfish in Papua New Guinea are temporarily shrinking in response to heat stress caused by climate change, a new study found. Here's how that might help them deal with warmer water temps.
