Clarifying the Size–Frequency Relationship in Clownfish Acoustic Signals [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBody size is the principal determinant of acoustic variation in anemonefish, reflecting both the mechanics of sound production and the size‐based structure of their social hierarchies.

Going Beyond Body Size in Fish Acoustic Communication [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionIn this response to Dr. Eric Parmentier's comments on our paper ‘“What Does the Anemonefish Say?”: Investigating Amphiprion percula's Acoustic Behaviour’, we correct and clarify Dr. Parmentier's affirmations. Firstly, we address the statistical ‘problems’

Triphenyltin Influenced Carotenoid-Based Coloration in Coral Reef Fish, Amphiprion ocellaris, by Disrupting Carotenoid Metabolism [PDF]
Toxics, 2023 Triphenyltin (TPT), a kind of persistent pollutant, is prevalent in the aquatic environment and could pose a threat to coral reef fish. However, little is known about the toxicity of TPT on coral reef fish, especially regarding the representative ...

Molecular Characterization of the Liver-Expressed Antimicrobial Peptide 2 (LEAP2) from Amphiprion ocellaris and Its Role in Antibacterial Immunity [PDF]
AnimalsLiver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) is a cationic peptide that is integral to the innate immune system. However, its regulatory function in the immunity of fish against pathogens remains largely unexplored.

Near complete local extinction of iconic anemonefish and their anemone hosts following a heat stress event [PDF]
npj BiodiversityA fundamental question in modern-day ecology is: How will populations and their interactions respond to a rapidly changing climate? Documenting local collapses of ecologically and economically important populations can offer insight into broader patterns
