Acuity, the fineness with which sensory systems perceive and parse information, limits the
information that organisms can extract from stimuli. Here, we focus on visual acuity (the …

Abstract Knowledge of the foraging ecology of fishes is fundamental both to understanding
the processes that function at the individual, population and community levels, and for the …

It is now clear that data based on the studies of fish eggs and larvae make a number of
unique contributions to fishery science that are crucial for accurate assessment and …

Visual acuity (the ability to resolve spatial detail) is highly variable across fishes. However,
little is known about the evolutionary pressures underlying this variation. We reviewed …

Food limitation is likely to be a source of mortality for fish larvae in the first few weeks after
hatching. In the laboratory, we analyzed all aspects of foraging in cod larvae (Gadus morhua …

Every individual of a population is challenged daily by circumstances that demand certain
levels of performance if the organism is to survive long enough to contribute to recruitment …

The large eyes and well-developed visual system of billfishes suggest that vision is an
important sense for the detection and interception of prey and lures. Investigations of visual …

Predation is a pervasive force that structures food webs and directly influences ecosystem
functioning. The relative body sizes of predators and prey may be an important determinant …

Abstract Changes in retinal structure during settlement were investigated in four species of
tropical reef-associated teleost fishes with differing periods of planktonic duration and post …

Bone morphogenetic protein 7 (BMP7) belongs to the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β)
family, which not only induces cartilage and bone formation, but also regulates eye …
