University of Texas, Marine Science Institute, Port Aransas, TX) and Ray Clarke (Sarah Lawrence College) to examine the effects of elevated turbulence on the feeding of coral reef fishes.
The particular focus is on how water movement differs in the microhabitats occupied by two species of blenny (family Chaenopsidae) and the extent to which it affects microhabitat choice by those species.
The problem will be approached from two perspectives: (1) the role of water movement in delivering prey to the fish and (2) the role of water movement in determining prey vulnerability to attacks by fish.

Project summary: In this study, we propose to investigate the effects of water movement on the capture of zooplankton by small fish that live embedded in coral skeletons and are subject to boundary layer effects.
In particular, we are interested in how water movement differs in the microhabitats occupied by two species of blenny (family Chaenopsidae) and the extent to which it affects microhabitat choice by those species.
We plan to approach this problem from two perspectives: (1) the role of water movement in delivering prey to the fish and (2) the role of water movement in determining prey vulnerability to attacks by fish.

Title : Phylogenetic Relationships and the Evolution of Sexual Abstract : Blennies of the family Chaenopsidae number about 60 species of primarily tropical fishes and are particularly notable for their varied patterns of anatomical differences between males and females.
This study will investigate the evolutionary relationships of 26 species within the family by analysis of these traits.
This approach will address several taxonomic controversies within chaenopsids, provide a detailed study of the historical patterns of change in their sexually dimorphic traits, and, together with earlier studies on the ecology of chaenopsids, permit evaluation of alternative hypotheses for the evolution of conspicuous morphological differences between the sexes.

Water motion is an important factor affecting planktivory on coral reefs.
The feeding behavior of two species of tube-dwelling coral reef fish (Chaenopsidae) was studied in still and turbulent water.
One species of blenny, Acanthemblemaria spinosa, lives in holes higher above the reef surface and feeds mainly on calanoid copepods, while a second, A. aspera, lives closer to the reef surface, feeds mainly on harpacticoid copepods, and is exposed to less water motion than the first.

 Why is it necessary to collect a specimen?
We searched the same and similar areas visually and could only find two of the 19 species during the visual censuses or on the video tapes.
Without collecting the specimens using rotenone, we would have missed 17 of the 19 blennioid species at Navassa, including an undescribed species of Acanthemblemaria (family Chaenopsidae, the pikeblennies, tubeblennies and flagblennies).
A strict visual census would have missed not only a major chunk of the biodiversity, but much of the biomass as well.

Planktivory by coral reef fishes may be especially sensitive to hydrodynamic conditions because water flow can impact prey supply, mask predator attacks, and affect prey escape responses.
Tube blennies (Chaenopsidae) are an ideal model system for studying flow effects on planktivory because their hemisessile nature permits the quantification of flow within a small feeding volume adjacent to the cavities in which they reside.
We conducted field studies on Glover’s Reef, Belize to measure turbulent flow within the feeding volumes of two co-occuring species blenny, the roughhead blenny (Acanthemblemaria aspera) and the spinyhead blenny (A. spinosa).

I work in four research areas: systematics and phylogeny of fishes, behavioral ecology and behavioral evolution, marine biogeography, and conservation biology.
I am most interested in marine fishes and for a number of years have focused on a family of reef fishes, the tube blennies (Chaenopsidae).
In my work on this group, I explore the interacting roles of phylogeny, development, ecology, and behavior in bringing about morphological evolution and clade diversification.
