Associations between fishes (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) and anthozoans (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) in epipelagic waters based on in situ records. [PDF]
Abstract We formally describe the association of fishes and anthozoans in epipelagic waters, extending this relationship to beyond the benthos. In situ observations and photographs of Aluterus schoepfii, Ariomma regulus, Caranx cf. latus and Brama spp.

Anemone bleaching increases the metabolic demands of symbiont anemonefish [PDF]
Increased ocean temperatures are causing mass bleaching of anemones and corals in the tropics worldwide. While such heat-induced loss of algal symbionts (zooxanthellae) directly affects anemones and corals physiologically, this damage may also cascade on to other animal symbionts.

Physiological Traits for Predicting Poleward Extensions in Tropical Fishes: From Lab to Management. [PDF]
We review the physiological mechanisms that permit poleward range expansions of tropical reef fishes into temperate waters. Filling in key knowledge gaps, we develop a framework to improve the implementation of physiological traits in improving our understanding of how tropical species adapt to temperate habitats.

Anemonefish are better taxonomists than humans [PDF]
The symbiosis between giant sea anemones, algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae, and anemonefish is an iconic example of a mutualistic trio1,2. Molecular analyses have shown that giant sea anemones hosting anemonefish belong to three clades: Entacmaea, Stichodactyla, and Heteractis3,4,5 (Figure 1A).

Proteotransciptomics of the Most Popular Host Sea Anemone Entacmaea quadricolor Reveals Not All Toxin Genes Expressed by Tentacles Are Recruited into Its Venom Arsenal [PDF]
While the unique symbiotic relationship between anemonefishes and sea anemones is iconic, it is still not fully understood how anemonefishes can withstand and thrive within the venomous environment of their host sea anemone.

Cyp19 expression and sex change timing in captive-bred false clownfish
The false clown anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) is a protandrous hermaphrodite with a distinctive reproductive behavior. This study elucidates the genetic mechanisms and timing of sex changes in captive-bred A. ocellaris by examining the expression of

Climate Change Leads to a Reduction in Symbiotic Derived Cnidarian Biodiversity on Coral Reefs
Symbiotic relationships enable partners to thrive and survive in habitats where they would either not be as successful, or potentially not exist, without the symbiosis.

The Visual Ecology of Anemonefishes
Investigations of ageing mechanisms are performed using a restricted number of model species such as laboratory mice (Mus musculus), common fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster), zebrafish (Danio rerio), and roundworm (Caenorhabditis elegans). Although the use of such established models gives considerable advantages, such as access to genomic and ...

Anemonefish are better taxonomists than humans
The symbiosis between giant sea anemones, photosynthetic algae of the family Symbiodiniaceae, and anemonefish is an iconic example of a mutualistic “menage à 3” 1 . Patterns of associations among 28 species of anemonefish and 10 species of giant sea anemone hosts are complex: Some anemonefish ...
