Sea anemones modify their hiding time based on their commensal damselfish [PDF]
Animals often retreat to refugia when alarmed and the time they spend hiding reflects an economic decision that trades off reducing predation risk with other beneficial activities.

Adaptation of anemonefish to their host anemones: From Genetics to Physiology [PDF]
The mutualism between anemonefish and anemones can be studied in terms of permanent or temporary adaptation of fish toward their host anemones. This thesis explores this theme, and aims to test (1) Whether a mutual relationship leads to adaptation of ...

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

Not all social coral reef fishes form strict size-based dominance hierarchies: An investigation of intraspecific size ratios in Dascyllus aruanus. [PDF]
Abstract 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.

Unravelling Bulk Ichthyoplankton Diversity in Vietnam: Metabarcoding Validation With Controlled Mock Samples. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The sustainability of Southeast Asian fisheries hinges on high‐throughput tools for monitoring early life‐stage fish biodiversity. However, applying DNA metabarcoding to hyper‐diverse tropical ichthyoplankton requires rigorous calibration to ensure quantitative reliability.

Finding Nemo’s clock reveals switch from nocturnal to diurnal activity
Timing mechanisms play a key role in the biology of coral reef fish. Typically, fish larvae leave their reef after hatching, stay for a period in the open ocean before returning to the reef for settlement.

Anemonefishes are some of the most popular marine ornamental fishes. Due to the adverse impacts of commercial fishing on the wild populations of anemonefishes, a more suitable and efficient captive breeding programme must be promoted.

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated generation of biallelic F0 anemonefish (Amphiprion ocellaris) mutants.
Genomic manipulation is a useful approach for elucidating the molecular pathways underlying aspects of development, physiology, and behaviour. However, a lack of gene-editing tools appropriated for use in reef fishes has meant the genetic underpinnings ...

Complete mitochondrial genome of 10 anemonefishes belonging to Amphiprion and Premnas
Anemonefish are widely distributed in tropical areas with phenotypic color variation often observed in the same species. Complete mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of 10 anemonefishes belonging to Amphiprion and Premnas were determined to support ...
