This study analyzes otolith shape variation in four labrid fish species from Rapa Nui using geometric morphometrics to distinguish species and assess phenotypic differences.

The paper uses genomic data and coalescent-based methods to study demographic responses of Rapa Nui endemic reef fish species to Pleistocene climatic fluctuations, finding common population expansions linked to sea level changes.
