Resumo: | We found yellowish juvenile coneys (Cephalopholis fulva) at Fernando de Noronha Archipelago, off Northeast Brazil, joining schools of similarly sized and coloured brown chromis (Chromis multilineata) when these latter closely approach the rocky reefs. Mingled within the mid-water hovering group of the plankton-feeding chromis, the piscivorous coney is able to approach unaware prey - an instance of aggressive mimicry. Three out of four coney individuals hunting under such disguise were successful in their attempts to prey on the otherwise wary rock-dwelling blenny (Malacoctenus species). This is the first instance of an epinepheline grouper mimicking a schooling and plankton-eating damselfish model in the West Atlantic. |

Misturadas ao grupo destes peixes planctófagos, a meia-água, as piraúnas conseguem se aproximar de presas desatentas - um exemplo de mimetismo agressivo. Três de quatro indivíduos de piraúna, caçando sob este tipo de disfarce, foram bem sucedidos nas suas tentativas de apresar o amborê Malacoctenus species, uma presa habitualmente arisca. Este é o primeiro registro, no Atlântico Ocidental, de uma espécie de Epinephelinae mimetizando uma espécie de Pomacentridae que encarduma e se alimenta de plâncton.Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Departamento de Zoologia e Museu de História NaturalUniversidade Estadual Paulista, Departamento de ZoologiaUniversidade Estadual Paulista, Departamento de ZoologiaSociedade Brasileira de IctiologiaUniversidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP)Universidade Estadual Paulista (Unesp)Sazima, IvanKrajewski, João PauloBonaldo, Roberta MartiniSazima, Cristina [UNESP]2021-07-14T10:31:11Z2021-07-14T10:31:11Z2005-06info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/article315-318application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1679-62252005000200011Neotropical Ichthyology.
