The Sharing of the Same Host of Two Species of Anemonefish in the Gulf of Thailand, One of Which Is Possibly Introduced [PDF]
Diversity, 2021 At Samaesan Island, which is in Chon Buri Province, the Upper Gulf of Thailand, in 2018 we found skunk anemonefish (Amphiprion akallopisos) previously only known from the Andaman Sea that have been establishing their populations in the area at a 4-m ...

Novel behavioural assays reveal sex-specific behavioural syndromes in anemonefish. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract 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‐

Coral Reefs, 2016 Intimate knowledge of both partners in a mutualism is necessary to understand the ecology and evolution of each partner, and to manage human impacts that asymmetrically affect one of the partners. Although anemonefishes and their host anemones are iconic mutualists and widely sought by ornamental fisheries, the degree to which anemones depend on ...

Iridophore apoptosis mediates socially-regulated developmental color pattern plasticity in an anemonefish. [PDF]
PLoS BiologyUnderstanding the developmental basis of phenotypic plasticity is key to unraveling the origins of biodiversity. In coral reef fishes, color pattern changes during ontogeny can serve adaptive functions, yet the mechanisms and ecological contexts shaping ...

Ultraviolet vision in anemonefish improves colour discrimination.
J Exp BiolABSTRACT In many animals, ultraviolet (UV) vision guides navigation, foraging, and communication, but few studies have addressed the contribution of UV signals to colour vision, or measured UV discrimination thresholds using behavioural experiments.

The genome of the sapphire damselfish Chrysiptera cyanea: a new resource to support further investigation of the evolution of Pomacentrids [PDF]
GigaByteThe number of high-quality genomes is rapidly increasing across taxa. However, it remains limited for coral reef fish of the Pomacentrid family, with most research focused on anemonefish.

Isolation‐by‐distance and isolation‐by‐oceanography in Maroon Anemonefish (Amphiprion biaculeatus) [PDF]
Evolutionary Applications, 2023 Obtaining dispersal estimates for a species is key to understanding local adaptation and population dynamics and to implementing conservation actions. Genetic isolation‐by‐distance (IBD) patterns can be used for estimating dispersal, and these patterns ...

Not all social coral reef fishes form strict size-based dominance hierarchies: An investigation of intraspecific size ratios in Dascyllus aruanus. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract We present a random pattern of body size ratios between adjacent ranked group members in the humbug damselfish Dascyllus aruanus. This random distribution of size ratios differs from the other well‐known group‐living coral reef fishes which exhibit non‐random, well‐defined and closely regulated size differences between ranks.

Damsels in Disguise: Development of Ultraviolet Sensitivity and Colour Patterns in Damselfishes (Pomacentridae). [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT 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.
