When fish lose their crowd: how ocean acidification quietly dismantles the social lives of reef fish

This blog post is provided by Angus Mitchell and colleagues and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article, “Ocean acidification, more than warming or heatwaves, constrains shoaling behaviour in a range-extending fish through habitat simplification”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Mitchell and colleagues reveal the hidden impact that climate change can have on the social lives and shoaling behaviour … Continue reading When fish lose their crowd: how ocean acidification quietly dismantles the social lives of reef fish

Tropical fishes can benefit more from novel than familiar species interactions at their cold-range edges

This blog post is provided by Angus Mitchell, Chloe Hayes, Erick Coni, David Booth, and Ivan Nagelkerken, and tells the #StoryBehindThePaper for the article “Tropical fishes can benefit more from novel than familiar species interactions at their cold-range edges”, which was recently published in the Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, Mitchell and colleagues investigated the challenges faced by tropical fish shifting their ranges … Continue reading Tropical fishes can benefit more from novel than familiar species interactions at their cold-range edges

Body size mediates trophic interaction strength of novel fish assemblages under climate change

This blog post is provided by Minami Sasaki, Kelsey M. Kingsbury, David J Booth and Ivan Nagelkerken and tells the #StoryBehindthePaper for the paper “Body size mediates trophic interaction strength of novel fish assemblages under climate change”, which was recently published in Journal of Animal Ecology. In their study, they investigate how fish species changing ranges and sizes due to climate change interact. They explore what happens when … Continue reading Body size mediates trophic interaction strength of novel fish assemblages under climate change
