Ooo, my most favourite lines and dots fish now and forevermore is Plectorhinchus vittatus.

Zooplanktivorous butterflyfish species are notably absent from the Atlantic. 8 of the 11 zooplanktivorous species are primarily distributed outside the IAA diversity hotspot in areas like Hawaii where there are few other zooplanktivores. #LiemsParadox 4/6

Traits associated with detecting tiny, transparent zooplankton and swimming efficiency and speed in mid-water show patterns of convergent evolution and adaptation to zooplanktivory. 3/6 Image: François Libert

Relatively small, laterally-enclosed mouths allow butterflyfishes to selectively feed on small prey, both on the bottom and in the water column. Mouth size doesn't change with transitions to zooplanktivory. #Exaptation #FunctionalVersatility 2/6 Image: Luiz Rocha @CoralReefFish

Lots of inspiring science happening at #SICB2021! Of course I'm excited to hear the latest from #TeamFish. My contribution this year explores body size and shape as indicators of trophic function. Available here: sicbannualmeeting.pathable.c… @SICB_DCB_DVM @sicb_dpcb

"Hoeven’s wrasse (Halichoeres melanurus) is one of many species of reef fish that begin adult life as females and later switch to being functionally male."
