This study examines how habitat and substrate use influence the morphological evolution of adhesive discs and skull shape in clingfishes, finding that transitions to coral reefs increase evolutionary rates while shifts to softer substrates constrain disc shapes.

This study examines the mechanical performance of frugivorous fish dentitions, comparing them to bats and primates and finding that Colossoma matches the low force, high work model for fruit tissue indentation.

This study investigates how head and body morphologies influence feeding kinematics in substrate-biting fishes using physical models.
