| In flyingfishes, and in some halfbeaks such as Arrhamphus, the extended lower jaw is lost in adults. |
|
| Flyingfishes are nested within halfbeaks, and sauries are nested within needlefishes. |
|
| The phylogenetic position of needlefishes relative to halfbeaks fits his prediction. |
|
| Based on the additional support of molecular data, we hereafter use the name Zenarchopteridae for this monophyletic group of halfbeaks. |
|
| Instead, our hypothesis suggests that halfbeaks are relatively basal members of Beloniformes, and the needlefish morphology is relatively derived. |
|
| The relationships and taxonomic position of the halfbeaks, killifishes, silversides, and their relatives. |
|
| There are predators that take advantage of this nocturnal foray besides halfbeaks and anchovies. |
|
| Preliminary review of the marine halfbeaks of the tropical Indo-West-Pacific. |
|
| Only 1 out of the 20 stomachs examined contained halfbeaks and none in the Clupeidae family were identified. |
|
| Like estuaries, mangrove swamps are extremely important breeding grounds for many fish, with species such as snappers, halfbeaks, and tarpon spawning or maturing among them. |
|
| Halfbeaks were sampled aboard commercial fishing vessels, and during fishery-independent trips, to determine spatial and temporal spawning patterns of both species. |
