UV Impacts on Clownfish Embryos
This study investigates the impacts of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) from sunlight on clownfish embryos. Embryos were exposed daily to control (no UVR), low UVR (80 µW m-2) and high UVR (280 µW m-2 ) treatments.

Membrane lipids and maximum lifespan in clownfish [PDF]
AbstractThe longevity-homeoviscous adaptation (LHA) theory of ageing states that lipid composition of cell membranes is linked to metabolic rate and lifespan, which has been widely shown in mammals and birds but not sufficiently in fish. In this study, two species of the genus Amphiprion (Amphiprion percula and Amphiprion clarkii, with estimated ...

Insights into the Genomics of Clownfish Adaptive Radiation: The Genomic Substrate of the Diversification. [PDF]
Clownfishes are an iconic group of coral reef fishes that evolved a mutualistic interaction with sea anemones, which triggered the rapid diversification of the group.

Habitat Specialisation Impacts Clownfish Demographic Resilience to Pleistocene Sea-Level Fluctuations. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Habitat fragmentation and loss are key threats to biodiversity, yet their impacts on marine species remain poorly understood. Clownfishes, which rely on sea anemones for shelter and reproduction, provide an interesting model to explore how ecological specialisation mediates species responses to habitat perturbations.

Clownfish triggers plasticity in the acoustic communication of the three-spot damselfish [PDF]
peer reviewedThe concept of Acoustic Niche plasticity refers to the plasticity of acoustic resources allocation within a species. Few studies have focused on this adaptability in fish species. The relationship between anemones and clownfish is one of the

Genomic Architecture of the Clownfish Hybrid Amphiprion leucokranos. [PDF]
Abstract Natural hybridization is increasingly recognized as playing a significant role in species diversification and adaptive evolution. Amphiprion leucokranos, the naturally occurring clownfish hybrid between Amphiprion chrysopterus and Amphiprion sandaracinos, is found within the hybrid zone of the two parental species.

Extent of threats to marine fish from the online aquarium trade in the United States. [PDF]
The global marine aquarium hobby is a multibillion‐dollar industry, largely driven by demand from the United States. Much of this trade occurs online. We web scraped 4 major US‐based e‐commerce platforms selling marine aquarium fish to determine the retail price and source (wild capture, aquaculture, or both) of 13 families of ray‐finned marine fish ...

Hybridisation and diversification in the adaptive radiation of clownfishes [PDF]
The importance of hybridisation during species diversification has long been debated among evolutionary biologists. It is increasingly recognised that hybridisation events occurred during the evolutionary history of numerous species, especially during the early stages of adaptive radiation. We study the effect of hybridisation on diversification in the

Larval fish counteract ram and suction to capture evasive prey
A simple hydrodynamic model of predator–prey interactions between larval clownfish and copepod prey is used to elucidate how larval fish capture highly evasive copepods.

Hearing ability in three clownfish species [PDF]
SUMMARYClownfish live in social groups in which there is a size-based dominance hierarchy. In such a context, sonic cues could play a role in social organisation because dominant frequency and pulse length of sounds are strongly correlated with fish size.
