Scary clowns: adaptive function of anemonefish coloration

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2018
AbstractClownfishes, with their showy coloration, are well known for their symbiosis with sea anemones and for their hierarchical reproductive system, but the function of their coloration is unclear. We used a phylogeny of 27 clownfish species to test whether fish coloration (i) serves a protective function that involves their anemone hosts, or (ii ...

The behaviors of two anemonefish

2010
THE TERRITORIAL AGONISTIC BEHAVIORS OF TWO ANEMONEFISH: DASCYLLUS TRIMACULATUS AND AMPHIPRION CHRYSOPTERUSHeterospecific agonistic behavior is difficult to study because there is so much uncertainty between species, but it is still an important component to shaping the dynamics of the community.

Anemonefish have finer color discrimination in the ultraviolet

2022
Abstract In many animals, ultraviolet (UV) vision guides navigation, foraging, and communication, but few studies have addressed the contribution of UV vision to color discrimination, or behaviorally assessed UV discrimination thresholds. Here, we tested UV-color vision in an anemonefish ( Amphiprion

Anemonefish Chromatophore Distribution and Organization Revealed by TEM Studies

Zoological Science
Anemonefish have a characteristic vertical white barred color pattern on an orange background made by a specific distribution of three types of pigment cells: melanophores, xanthophores, and iridophores. This color pattern is an interesting alternative model to zebrafish to understand the cellular and molecular basis of complex color pattern formation.

Anemonefishes and their host sea anemones in a changing climate

2020
The oceans are warming and acidifying at unprecedented rates. My thesis explores marine fishes’ ability to adapt using anemonefishes and host sea anemones. I found juvenile anemonefish’s vulnerability to acute thermal change increases with mass. End-of-century temperature causes sea anemone bleaching, whereas pH has no measured impact.

Biochemical Study on the Carotenoids in the Anemonefish, Amphiprion spp.

1992
The carotenoid compositions of four species of wild anemonefish, Amphiprion ocellaris, A. biacleatus, A. frenatus and A. clarkii, were analyzed. Alltrans-zeaxanthin was found to be a dominant pigment followed by cis-isomers of zeaxanthin in all four species of anemonefish.
