Environmental Biology of Fishes, 2018 Predation is a key ecosystem function, especially in high diversity systems such as coral reefs. Not only is predation one of the strongest top-down controls of prey population density, but it also is a strong driver of prey behaviour and function ...

Effects of ocean acidification on dopamine-mediated behavioral responses of a coral reef damselfish. [PDF]
Science of the Total Environment, 2023 We investigated whether CO2-induced ocean acidification (OA) affects dopamine receptor-dependent behavior in bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus). Damselfish were kept in aquaria receiving flow through control (pH ~ 8.03; pCO2 ~ 384 μatm) or OA (pH ...

Analysis of the vertebral number of damselfish, Chromis chromis (L.) in the central Adriatic [PDF]
Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1994 Six samples of damselfish catches with a total of 833 individuals from the channel area (Hvar channel) and open waters (the region of Vis and Biąevo Islands) of the central Adriatic were analysed with respect to their number of vertebrae.

A test of the species confidence hypothesis in dusky damselfish
Current Zoology, 2023 Visual cues are important in both interspecific and intraspecific communication. The species confidence hypothesis proposes that animals are more attracted to conspecific colors and repelled by colors, not on their bodies.

Positive interactions between corals and damselfish increase coral resistance to temperature stress
Global Change Biology, 2022 By the century's end, many tropical seas will reach temperatures exceeding most coral species' thermal tolerance on an annual basis. The persistence of corals in these regions will, therefore, depend on their abilities to tolerate recurrent thermal ...

Clownfish triggers plasticity in the acoustic communication of the three-spot damselfish [PDF]
Marine Biology, 2023 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

Geographic variation in the damselfish-red alga cultivation mutualism in the Indo-West Pacific [PDF]
BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2010 Background On coral reefs, damselfish defend their territories from invading herbivores and maintain algal turfs, from which they harvest filamentous algae.

Coral loss alters guarding and farming behavior of a Caribbean damselfish
Marine Biology, 2020 Coral loss is a major element of global ecological change in the oceans that may shape the behavior of keystone species such as habitat-attached animals. Farming damselfishes cultivate and aggressively protect algal garden within their territory, thereby

Context-dependent multimodal behaviour in a coral reef fish [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceAnimals are expected to respond flexibly to changing circumstances, with multimodal signalling providing potential plasticity in social interactions. While numerous studies have documented context-dependent behavioural trade-offs in terrestrial species ...

Progression of Infection and Tumor Development in Damselfish
Marine Biotechnology, 2001 The bicolor damselfish (Stegastes partitus) is a tropical marine teleost naturally affected by multiple neurofibromas and chromatophoromas on South Florida reefs. Damselfish neurofibromatosis is a transmissible disease caused by a subcellular agent. Development of tumors is associated with the appearance of a series of extrachromosomal DNAs ranging in ...
