Active provisioning of food to host sea anemones by anemonefish [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIn mutualistic symbiosis, organisms often provide food to their partners. However, the processes and significance of food provisioning to hosts remain poorly understood.

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.

Anemonefishes: A model system for evolutionary genomics [version 2; peer review: 2 approved] [PDF]
F1000Research, 2023 Anemonefishes are an iconic group of coral reef fish particularly known for their mutualistic relationship with sea anemones. This mutualism is especially intriguing as it likely prompted the rapid diversification of anemonefish.

Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.

A new species of Anemonefish from French Polynesia, Amphiprion maohiensis, (Pomacentridae, Amphiprioninae), the Polynesian anemonefish [PDF]
ZooKeysAnemonefishes (Teleostei, Pomacentridae) comprise approximately 28 species of damselfishes that exclusively live symbiotically with sea anemones. Distribution ranges vary, with some species only found in few isolated islands and others with ranges that ...

Plasticity of Dispersal‐Related Larval Traits in the Clown Anemonefish Amphiprion percula [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionA major goal in marine ecology is to understand patterns of larval dispersal and population connectivity. Dispersal plasticity allows for adaptive variation in dispersal phenotypes in response to variation in environmental conditions and may help to ...

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’

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

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
