‘Personality’ in two species of temperate damselfish [PDF]

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 2010
The extent and importance of consistent individual differences in behaviour, often referred to as 'personality' or 'temperament', is a relatively recent question in ecology. It indicates that animal behaviour is much less flexible than usually assumed, and suggests that individuals con- sistently differ in the way they perceive and react to changes in ...

Kelp forests modulate fish community dynamics and responses to ocean warming

open access: yesJournal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 7, July 2026.
Our spatially resolved benchmark indicates that abundant kelp cover can delay tropicalisation by lowering the realised thermal affinity of reef‐fish communities, while increases in fish biodiversity may signal the early stages of this process. Abstract Kelp forests are foundation habitats that create structurally complex and biodiverse marine ...

Loss of live coral compromises predator-avoidance behaviour in coral reef damselfish

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Tropical reefs have experienced an unprecedented loss of live coral in the past few decades and the biodiversity of coral-dependent species is under threat.

A new species of Chromis damselfish from the tropical western Atlantic (Teleostei, Pomacentridae)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2020
Initially described in 1882, Chromisenchrysurus, the Yellowtail Reeffish, was redescribed in 1982 to account for an observed color morph that possesses a white tail instead of a yellow one, but morphological and geographic boundaries between the two ...

The Effect of Heterospecific Song and Anthropogenic Sound on the Development of Life History Traits in a Field Cricket

open access: yesEthology, Volume 132, Issue 7, Page 466-476, July 2026.
We raised fall field crickets in acoustic environments of silence, their own song, traffic noise, or the song of the recently introduced Japanese burrowing cricket and measured development, size, and adult survival. We found that crickets reared with burrowing cricket song developed more quickly than crickets reared in silence.

Vessel noise affects routine swimming and escape response of a coral reef fish.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
An increasing number of studies have shown that anthropogenic noise can negatively affect aspects of the anti-predator behaviour of reef fishes, potentially affecting fitness and survival.

3D printed objects do not impact the behavior of a coral-associated damselfish or survival of a settling stony coral

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
3D printing technology offers significant advantages in the development of objects and tools across an array of fields and has been implemented in an increasing number of ecological studies.

Do fawn‐footed mosaic‐tailed rats experience age‐related cognitive decline in novel object recognition?

open access: yesJournal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 3, Page 247-256, July 2026.
We explored age‐related cognitive decline in captive fawn‐footed mosaic‐tailed rats (Melomys cervinipes) using a novel object recognition task. Contrary to expectations, recognition memory did not decline with age, but recognition memory was lower in intermediate‐aged rats compared to both older and younger individuals.

Giant damselfish display more nest aggression towards Acapulco damselfish than conspecifics, June 2019

open access: yes, 2019
Species of the family Pomacentridae, including damselfishes, provide parental care and show territorial behavior. Microspathodon dorsalis, Giant damselfishes, are known to be especially territorial within their nesting sites and will attack other species
