TL;DR: It is argued that this phase shift is facilitated by poleward-flowing boundary currents that are creating ocean warming hotspots around the globe, enabling the range expansion of tropical species and increasing their grazing rates in temperate areas.

TL;DR: A global survey of reef fishes shows that the consequences of biodiversity loss are greater than previously anticipated as ecosystem functioning remained unsaturated with the addition of new species.

TL;DR: It is shown that tropical vagrant species are more likely to originate from high-latitude populations, while at the demographic level, tropical fish species with large body size, high swimming ability, large size at settlement and pelagic spawning behaviour areMore likely to show successful settlement into temperate habitats.

TL;DR: The gut contents of 53 fish species, collected in an Enhauls acoroides-dominated bed at Iriomote Island, southern Japan, were examined and showed that the seagrass fish assemblage comprised seven feeding guilds, with small-crustacean feeders being the most abundantly represented.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the patterns of habitat use by fishes among coral, seagrass, and mangrove habitats, and between natural and transplanted mangroves, visual censuses were conducted semiannually at two sites in the Philippines during September and March 2010-2012.
