We couldn't find any Topics specifically about "Sparidae"

Topics containing the search term "Sparidae" are:

1. Pufferfish (and inflation)
   Pufferfish are some of the most extraordinary fish to have evolved, especially because of their capacity to swallow water and inflate themselves to something like a football. Not only that but some representatives can be deadly to the unwary diner...

2. Moray eels
   Eels masquerading as snakes sounds interesting, and that is before they go hunting with their friends the groupers...  

3. Beak structures in reptiles and birds
   Among reptile taxa with beak structures, we find several cases of convergent evolution, for example between turtles, Uromastyx lizards, a number of herbivorous dinosaurs and the tuatara (Sphenodon) of New Zealand.

4. Durophagy (hard prey-eating) in fish
   Plenty of animals have an extraordinary capacity to crush hard prey and this has evolved independently many times in the vertebrates. If you suspect it is a durophage, watch your fingers!
