Under prolonged thermal stress on coral reefs, corals can undergo bleaching, leading to mass coral mortality and large-scale changes in benthic community composition. While coral mortality has clear, negative impacts on the body condition and populations of coral-dependent fish species, the mechanisms that drive these changes remain poorly resolved. Specifically, little is known about the effects of coral bleaching on (1) the nutritional quality of corals, (2) nutrient acquisition in coral-feeding butterflyfishes and (3) fish dietary selectivity and potential supplementary consumption of non-coral prey. Here, we evaluate the response of obligate coral-feeding butterflyfishes to a mass coral bleaching event in French Polynesia, which resulted in high coral mortality and a 50% decline in obligate corallivore density. We examine benthic and butterflyfish community composition over two decades, including a mass bleaching event in 2019 and multiple prior disturbances. We couple these data with surveys of butterflyfish feeding selectivity, high-resolution molecular assays of gut contents and nutrient acquisition before, during and after the bleaching event. Contrary to previous studies, obligate corallivores did not strongly alter their feeding preferences for different coral genera in response to bleaching. They did not increase their consumption of non-corals in response to coral mortality, and hard corals continued to dominate their diets (>90%). Instead, butterflyfishes targeted partially bleached corals that were likely releasing nutrient-rich mucus, and they avoided fully bleached and dead corals that were likely nutrient-depleted. Moreover, after bleaching, butterflyfishes exhibit reduced nitrogen assimilation, indicating that coral stress may adversely impact butterflyfish nutrient acquisition. Coupled with the increasing frequency of recurrent bleaching events, severe, long-term nutritional impacts of coral bleaching on butterflyfish populations may jeopardize the persistence of coral-feeding fishes in the future.</p>","PeriodicalId":14934,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Animal Ecology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143023407","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Range expansion can have profound ecological and evolutionary consequences that feedback on the expansion process itself. With global climate change causing widespread species range shifts to higher latitudes and altitudes, it is essential that we better understand these dynamics during native range expansion in the wild. In a recent study on poleward-spreading treefrogs (<i>Hyla cinerea</i>), Edwards et al. (2024) measured how morphological and physiological traits differed between populations from the recently expanded and historic range. They found that range-edge frogs had increased cold tolerance and longer legs associated with better dispersal, which could strongly affect the rate and geographic limits of expansion. Edwards et al. then show how species distribution models fit separately to the historic and expanded range more accurately predict habitat suitability near the historic range boundary.

Diel activity patterns are ubiquitous in living organisms and have received considerable research attention with advances in the collection of time-stamped data and the recognition that organisms may respond to global change via behaviour timing. Iannarilli et al. (2024) provide a roadmap for analysing diel activity patterns with hierarchical models, specifically trigonometric generalized linear mixed-effect models and cyclic cubic spline generalized additive models. These methods are improvements over kernel density estimators, which for nearly two decades have been the status quo for analysing activity patterns. Kernel density estimators have several drawbacks; most notably, data are typically aggregated (e.g. across locations) to achieve sufficient sample sizes, and covariates cannot be incorporated to quantify the influence of environmental variables on activity timing. Iannarilli et al. (2024) also provide a comprehensive tutorial which demonstrates how to format data, fit models, and interpret model predictions. We believe that hierarchical models will become indispensable tools for activity-timing research and envision the development of many extensions to the approaches described by Iannarilli et al.
