Clarifying the Size–Frequency Relationship in Clownfish Acoustic Signals [PDF]
Ecology and EvolutionBody size is the principal determinant of acoustic variation in anemonefish, reflecting both the mechanics of sound production and the size‐based structure of their social hierarchies.

Stable yet shifting: Early toxin dynamics in typical and atypical clownfish–anemone symbioses [PDF]
Toxicon: XAmong venomous animals, cnidarians represent the oldest metazoan lineage in which venom production and a specialized delivery system are defining synapomorphies.

Divergence in metabolomic profile in clownfish and damselfish skin mucus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 IntroductionThe clownfish - sea anemone mutualism was suggested to have triggered the adaptive radiation of clownfishes, but the origin of clownfish resistance to stinging tentacles of host anemones remains unclear.

Lymphocystis Disease Virus Infection in Clownfish Amphiprion ocellaris and Amphiprion clarkii in Taiwan [PDF]
Animals, 2022 Lymphocystic disease affects over 150 species of marine and freshwater fish worldwide. In this study, the lymphocystis pathogen was found in 2 (Amphiprion ocellaris and Amphiprion clarkii) of the 9 species of clownfish.

A telomere-to-telomere gap-free genome assembly of the protandrous maroon clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus) [PDF]
Scientific DataAs a protandrous hermaphrodite with natural male-to-female sex change, maroon clownfish (Premnas biaculeatus) serves as an ideal model organism for investigating sequential hermaphroditism.

N-acetylated sugars in clownfish and damselfish skin mucus as messengers involved in chemical recognition by anemone host [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe clownfish - sea anemone system is a great example of symbiotic mutualism where host «toxicity» does not impact its symbiont partner, although the underlying protection mechanism remains unclear.

Molecular Characterization of the Liver-Expressed Antimicrobial Peptide 2 (LEAP2) from Amphiprion ocellaris and Its Role in Antibacterial Immunity [PDF]
AnimalsLiver-expressed antimicrobial peptide 2 (LEAP2) is a cationic peptide that is integral to the innate immune system. However, its regulatory function in the immunity of fish against pathogens remains largely unexplored.

Ocean warming drives tissue-wide metabolic reprogramming in a fish [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Ocean warming and marine heatwaves are predicted to have adverse impacts on marine organisms. Yet, knowledge of the molecular mechanisms that underpin successful or failed acclimation to increasing temperatures remains incomplete.
