1. Genetic identification of bucktooth parrotfish Sparisoma radians (Valenciennes, 1840) (Labridae, Scarinae) by chromosomal and molecular markers
Parrotfishes (Labridae, Scarinae) comprise a large marine fish group of difficult identification, particularly during juvenile phase when the typical morphology and coloration of adults are absent. Therefore, the goal of this study was to test cytogenetic markers and DNA barcoding in the identification of bucktooth parrtotfish Sparisoma radians from the nort

2. Live coral predation by parrotfishes (Perciformes: Scaridae) in the Abrolhos Bank, eastern Brazil, with comments on the classification of species into functional groups
Os budiões (Perciformes: Scaridae) representam um grupo funcional crítico em recifes de corais uma vez que a intensa atividade de herbivoria que desempenham ajuda a evitar a exclusão de corais por algas. Apesar de alimentarem-se preferencialmente de algas e detrito, algumas espécies de budiões também consomem corais vivos, causando efeitos negativos ao

3. Atividade de forrageamento de tres especies sintopicas de Sparisoma (Perciformes: Scaridae) no Arquipelago de Fernando de Noronha, Pernambuco / Foraging of three syntopic species of Sparisoma (Perciformes: Scaridae) at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, tropical western Atlantic
Parrotfishes are important components of the herbivore and detritivore guilds of tropical and subtropical reefs. These fishes are protogynous hermaphrodites which change colour and sex, from initial phase females or males (IP) to terminal phase males (TP). The foraging of Sparisoma amplum, S. axillare and S. frondosum was studied at Fernando de Noronha Archi
