grouper (Epinephelus morio), and red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus), with notes on fish distribution and abundance and spawning activities. They provide information on movement patterns of reef fish determined using acoustic telemetry. Finally
taxon to be added to the diverse vertebrate assemblage discovered in the Fusea site, formed by nothosauroids, cyamodontoid placodonts, protorosaurian Tanystropheus, small archosaurians, and elasmobranchian and actinopterygian fishes. These fishes provide
This paper offers a case study of the process involved in the development of a national network of marine reserves to protect multispecies reef fish spawning aggregation sites. Using diverse and patchy sets of data including published peer-reviewed
. developed a conceptual understanding summarized by the multispecies promontory hypothesis, which suggests a common geomorphology of spawning sites for most large and commercially important reef fish species. A holistic, eclectic, inclusive geographic
The articles in this Focus Section offer examples of the following: (1) distinctive reef geomorphology dictating the spawning locations of reef fishes, which in turn serve as critical source sites for the replenishment of distant reefs by means
of larval transport; (2) an example of a simplified oceanographic model that predicts larval transport from fish breeding sites to important nursery areas; and (3) a case study of the development of a marine reserve network that illustrates key elements

In this work, soil seed bank composition and distribution were studied in 3 main microsites selected as sampling plots : fish-scale pits, as artificial deposited micro-topography; under tussocks, as trap microsites; and open areas, as eroded areas
than 90%. Compared with the eroded open areas, the fish-scale pits retained a higher density of seeds, and the tussocks retained a larger number of species. However, there was no serious reduction of the soil seed bank in the erosion areas. The present
In this study we present interdisciplinary investigations of the Borkovac reservoir (Vojvodina). The limnological characteristics of the reservoir were analyzed in the scope of its sustainable use for irrigation, fishing and tourism. The main
