No evidence for missed mutualists in an invasive plant with the buzz pollination syndrome

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The missed mutualist hypothesis predicts that the absence of mutualistic partners poses a barrier to introduced species becoming invasive. Yet, some alien plants thrive despite potential dependence on certain pollinators. For example, buzz‐pollinated plants typically have specialist floral morphologies and benefit from buzz pollinator behavior

Agonistic Behaviors of The Anemonefish Amphiprion ocellaris Living with Their Host Anemones [PDF]

BIO Web of Conferences
Agonistic behaviours, defined as an individual’s aggressive behavior towards a conspecific, facilitate a social ranking throughout the animal kingdom, particularly within anemonefish group.

Egg development and hatching in two Red Sea damselfishes

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Damselfishes (family Pomacentridae) are widely distributed reef-associated marine fishes. The family’s diversity, iconic nesting behaviors, and high environmental adaptability contribute to the popularity of damselfishes as aquarium species, tourist ...

Effect of Dietary Astaxanthin on Growth Performance, Feed Utilisation, Body Colouration and Survival in Nile Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus)

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Astaxanthin is a potent dietary carotenoid known to enhance growth and pigmentation in fish. This study evaluated the effects of graded dietary astaxanthin supplementation, extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis (0, 25, 50, 75 and 100 mg/kg) on growth performance, feed utilisation, body colouration and survival of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis ...

Host anemone size as a determinant of social group size and structure in the orange clownfish (Amphiprion percula) [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
The size and structure of social groups of animals can be governed by a range of ecological factors and behavioral interactions. In small, highly site-attached coral reef fishes, group size is often constrained by the size of the habitat patch they are ...

Game over: Conflict resolution through strategic growth in an invertebrate

Functional Ecology, Volume 40, Issue 1, Page 36-50, January 2026.
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract In some multimember groups with unequal partitioning of reproduction and poor breeding opportunities outside the group, natural selection has favoured the evolution of adaptive mechanisms such as strategic growth modulation.

Associations between fishes (Actinopterygii: Teleostei) and anthozoans (Anthozoa: Hexacorallia) in epipelagic waters based on in situ records

Journal of Fish Biology, Volume 107, Issue 6, Page 2166-2172, December 2025.
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.

3D Genome Constrains Breakpoints of Inversions That Can Act as Barriers to Gene Flow in the Stickleback

Molecular Ecology, Volume 34, Issue 21, November 2025.
ABSTRACT DNA within the nucleus is organised into a well‐regulated three‐dimensional (3D) structure. However, how such 3D genome structures influence speciation processes remains largely elusive. Recent studies have shown that 3D genome structures influence mutation rates, including the occurrence of chromosomal rearrangement.

Recorded behaviours by GoPro of anemonefish species Amphiprion clarkii and Amphiprion melanopus in observer presence and observer absence, Vanuatu, 2019

, 2020
Anemonefish species are iconic tropical reef fish which occur in many recreational tourism hotspots. They tend to be highly territorial of their host anemone and display many behaviours relating to their purpose in defending it. Territorial behaviours of

Rare coral and reef fish species status, possible extinctions, and associated environmental perceptions in Mauritius

Conservation Science and Practice, 2021
Mauritius is reported to have the highest marine species endemism in the Western Indian Ocean faunal Province but the status of these species has not been evaluated. To address this knowledge gap, 119 reef sites were sampled to evaluate populations of 16
