Rare Species Support Vulnerable Functions in High-Diversity Ecosystems
The most unusual, and thus irreplaceable, functions performed by species in three different species-rich ecosystems are fulfilled by only the rare species in these ecosystems.

Global Biogeography of Reef Fishes: A Hierarchical Quantitative Delineation of Regions
TLDR
The quantitative delineation of biogeographical entities for reef fishes shows a global concordance with recent works based upon endemism, environmental factors, expert knowledge, or their combination and the similarity between the results and those from other phyla suggests that the approach may be of broad utility in describing and understanding global marine biodiversity patterns.

Distributions of Indo-Pacific lionfishes Pterois spp. in their native ranges : implications for the Atlantic invasion
TLDR
It is found that lionfish in their native Indo-Pacific range are unevenly distributed, with higher densities in the Indian Ocean than in the Pacific, and densities increase significantly with increasing latitude, and are significantly higher in continental areas than around islands.

The Humphead Wrasse, Cheilinus Undulatus: Synopsis of a Threatened and Poorly Known Giant Coral Reef Fish
TLDR
The humphead wrasse is examined for its conservation and management status and key data gaps in species that are little known, vulnerable, difficult and expensive to study and may require urgent management or conservation action.

Checklist of the fishes of New Caledonia, and their distribution in the Southwest Pacific Ocean (Pisces)
TLDR
A checklist of the fi shes of New Caledonia is presented, which includes a total of 125 species occurring in freshwater, 266 species in transitional (brackish) waters, and 2320 marine species.
Functional over-redundancy and high functional vulnerability in global fish faunas on tropical reefs
TLDR
This study shows that, even in high-diversity systems, such as tropical reefs, functional diversity remains highly vulnerable to species loss.

A general approach to length-weight relationships for New Caledonian lagoon fishes
TLDR
This article pro- pose length-weight relationships at four organisation levels: species, genera, families and morphological groups, which suggests that there are physical limits to fish shapes.
Ecological traits and environmental affinity explain Red Sea fish introduction into the Mediterranean
TLDR
It is found that alien species occupy a larger range of environments in their native ranges, explaining their ability to colonize the seasonal Mediterranean and contrary to predictions of an accelerating number of aliens following increased water temperatures, hotter summers in this region may prevent the establishment of many alien species.

Bright spots among the world’s coral reefs
TLDR
The results suggest that investments in strengthening fisheries governance, particularly aspects such as participation and property rights, could facilitate innovative conservation actions that help communities defy expectations of global reef degradation.
