Seascape Connectivity Shapes Genetic and Species β‐Diversity in Tropical Reef Fishes
Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.Our study combines species occurrence data from five reef fish families with genomic SNP data for 19 species. A correlation between genetic and species β‐diversity emerges only in the Western Indian Ocean, where higher genetic β‐diversity and significant isolation by distance at both the population and community levels are detected.

Anthropogenic noise increases fish mortality by predation
Nature Communications, 2016 Little evidence exists on whether human-generated noise directly affects survival of wildlife. Here, Simpson et al. show that damselfish exposed to motorboat noise have elevated metabolic rates, reduced responses to predatory attacks, and suffer ...

Reef fish assemblages impacted by sponges overgrowing corals
Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Numerous stressors are driving long‐term declines in coral cover on coral reefs, significantly impacting reef fish biodiversity and community structure. The benthic space made available by declining coral cover is often occupied by increases in other organisms, including macroalgae, encrusting ascidians, and sponges.

Journal of Zoology, 2019 To effectively balance the need to forage against the need to avoid predation, animals should utilize information from both their physical and social environments. However, most studies have considered these factors in isolation and few have investigated

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.

Energetic costs of mounting an immune response in a coral reef damselfish (Pomacentrus amboinensis) [PDF]
While immune responses can be energetically costly, quantifying these costs is challenging. We tested the metabolic costs of immune activation in damselfish ( Pomacentrus amboinensis Bleeker, 1868) following a mass-adjusted injection of ...

, 2014 Many members of the Pomacentridae family, commonly referred to as damselfish, are herbivorous, consuming algae regularly as part of their diet, and territorial, aggressively defending where they feed and reproduce. These characteristics affect coexisting
