Fig. 1 in Scientific Note Species records, mistaken identifications, and their further use: the case of the diskfish Echeneis naucrates on a spinner dolphin

Fig. 1 Detail of the photograph upon which the single and mistaken record of the sharksucker (Echeneis naucrates) on a spinner dolphin (Stenella longirostris) is based on (a); note bicolor pattern – dark and light halves of the fish's ventral side. Photo taken in the Baía dos Golfinhos at Fernando de Noronha, courtesy L. Lodi. Whalesuckers (Remora australis) attached to a spinner dolphin (b); note similarity between shape, proportions, and pattern of the larger foremost remora on both dolphins. Photo taken in the Baía dos Golfinhos at Fernando de Noronha, courtesy J. M. Silva Jr. Bars mark sucking disk and standard lengths; asterisks mark anterior edge of pectoral fin (originally marked on magnified digital photographs). For both pictures the original colors were discarded, since black and white images enhance the diagnostic features in print and allow a better comparison.
