Reef fish represent one of the most diverse vertebrate groups on Earth, with over 7,000 species distributed around the globe. This richness is not evenly distributed geographically. The Atlantic (AT) and the Eastern Pacific (EP) encompass 30% of the global fish fauna. These areas have been considered the most isolated from the marine biodiversity hotspot in the Indo‐Pacific due to distinct physical barriers, such as the Tethyan closure and the distance between the EP and the western Pacific. Despite their comparatively lower species richness, these realms host unique fish assemblages characterized by a remarkable proportion of regional endemics and species with large body size. Here, we present the largest database of life‐history traits and biogeographical and conservation aspects presently available for the reef fish fauna of the AT and the EP realms. The database includes 21 traits distributed into behavioral (home range, diel activity, group size, level in the water column, three measures of preferred temperature), morphological (maximum body size, size class, body shape, aspect ratio, caudal fin, mouth position), and ecological (trophic level, diet, spawning strategy, depth of occurrence, two allometric constants, pelagic larval duration, and life span), as well as biogeographical (geographic range index, range extension, species distribution in 20 marine provinces, latitude north and south of occurrence, total number of provinces where species occur, occurrence in the AT and EP), and conservation aspects (IUCN status, vulnerability and global market price). We compiled these data through a careful review of 104 local checklists published between 1982 and 2020, online repositories, local reports, books, and monographs on specific families or genera. We limited our database to localities situated between latitudes 51°N and 45°S that including shallow and upper mesophotic biogenic and/or rocky reefs habitats. Our database covers 2,198 species belonging to 146 families and 655 reef fish genera distributed in two marine realms (1,458 in the AT, 829 in the EP, and 89 in both realms) and 20 marine provinces. This database of reef fish offers the opportunity to explore novel ecological and evolutionary questions at different scales and provides tools for species conservation based on these traits.

大西洋和东太平洋珊瑚礁鱼的生命历史特征,地理范围和保护方面

礁鱼代表着地球上最多样化的脊椎动物群之一,在全球分布着7,000多种。这种丰富程度并未在地理上平均分配。大西洋(AT)和东太平洋(EP)占全球鱼类种群的30%。这些地区被认为是与印度洋太平洋海洋生物多样性热点最隔离的地区,这是因为它们存在明显的物理障碍,例如特提斯山脉的封闭以及欧洲大陆与西太平洋之间的距离。尽管它们的物种丰富度相对较低,但这些领域仍具有独特的鱼类组合,其特征是具有明显比例的区域特有物种和大体型物种。这里,我们提供了最大的生命历史特征以及生物地理和保护方面的数据库,目前可用于AT和EP领域的礁鱼动物区系。该数据库包括21个特征,这些特征分为行为(家庭活动范围,迪尔活动,群体大小,水柱中的水平,三种优选温度的度量),形态(最大体型,体型,体型,长宽比,尾鳍,嘴巴)位置),生态学(营养水平,饮食,产卵策略,发生深度,两个异体常数,浮游幼体持续时间和寿命),以及生物地理学(地理范围指数,范围扩展,20个海洋省份的物种分布),发生地区的南北纬度,发生物种的省总数,在AT和EP中发生的省以及保护方面(IUCN的状态,脆弱性和全球市场价格)。我们通过仔细审查1982年至2020年之间发布的104份本地清单,在线资料库,本地报告,书籍和有关特定家庭或属的专着,对这些数据进行了汇总。我们将数据库限制在北纬51°至45°S之间的地区,这些地区包括浅生和上生的中生生物和/或岩石礁生境。我们的数据库涵盖了分布在两个海洋领域(AT的1,458个,EP的829个和两个领域的89个)的146个科目和655种珊瑚鱼属的2,198种。该礁鱼数据库为探索不同规模的新型生态和进化问题提供了机会,并为基于这些特征的物种保护提供了工具。
