Novel behavioural assays reveal sex-specific behavioural syndromes in anemonefish. [PDF]
Abstract Individual differences in behaviour and behavioural plasticity have been extensively studied in a variety of animals across the phylogenetic spectrum. Amphiprion species bring distinct insight into the topic because of their unique life history, mating system, and extraordinary degree of behavioural plasticity associated with protandrous (male‐

Low Ectoparasite Loads and Interactions With Cleaner Fish Among Amphiprion Anemonefish
Interactions between ectoparasites, reef fishes and cleaner species are well documented; however, anemonefishes (Amphiprioninae) have been largely overlooked in this context.

Evaluating species at risk in data-limited fisheries: A productivity-susceptibility analysis for marine aquarium fish. [PDF]
Abstract The marine aquarium trade (MAT) is a significant global industry harvesting millions of wild‐caught, live coral reef fishes for public and private aquaria markets in the United States and Europe annually, while supporting fisher livelihoods in the Indo‐Pacific.

Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States. [PDF]
The global marine aquarium hobby is a multibillion‐dollar industry, largely driven by demand from the United States. Much of this trade occurs online. We web scraped 4 major US‐based e‐commerce platforms selling marine aquarium fish to determine the retail price and source (wild capture, aquaculture, or both) of 13 families of ray‐finned marine fish ...

Plasticity of Dispersal-Related Larval Traits in the Clown Anemonefish <i>Amphiprion percula</i>. [PDF]
In this study, we investigate whether dispersal‐related larval traits are plastic in response to parental habitat quality in a marine fish: the clown anemonefish, Amphiprion percula. Results from this study show that parents can produce different larval dispersal‐related phenotypes in response to variation in food rations, which may explain some of the

Damsels in Disguise: Development of Ultraviolet Sensitivity and Colour Patterns in Damselfishes (Pomacentridae). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) are widespread and highly abundant on tropical coral reefs. They exhibit diverse body colouration within and between the ~250 species and across ontogenetic stages. In addition to human‐visible colours (i.e., 400–700 nm), most adult damselfishes reflect ultraviolet (UV, 300–400 nm) colour patches.

Cell-cell communication as underlying principle governing color pattern formation in teleost fishes [PDF]
The diverse pigmentation patterns of animals are crucial for predation avoidance and behavioral display. This diversity arises from interactions among distinct pigment cell types, yet mechanisms generating pattern variation across teleost fishes remain ...

PolyQ Length of the Clock Gene Is Correlated With Pelagic Larval Duration in the Damselfishes (Pomacentridae), but Within a Species Habitat Availability Counts. [PDF]
The length of a part of the ‘clock’ gene explains the duration of dispersal in coral reef fishes. However, ecological factors such as the availability of habitats can override this effect. ABSTRACT Immediately after hatching, larvae of coral reef fish leave their natal reef environment and begin their pelagic larval phase probably to avoid high ...
