Systematics of Damselfishes [PDF]

Ichthyology & Herpetology, 2021
The family Pomacentridae is a species-rich group of primarily marine fishes. The phylogenetic relationships of the damselfishes are examined herein using sequence data from five mitochondrial (12S, 16S, ATP synthase subunits 8/6, cytochrome b, and cytochrome c oxidase I) and three nuclear (histone H3, recombination activating gene 1 exon 3, and Tmo-4C4)

Semi-automated MicroED system unveils multiple polymorphs in fish-derived guanine crystals. [PDF]

Acta Crystallogr C Struct Chem
A semi‐automated MicroED data collection and processing system was established and shown to be suitable for the structural investigation of submicrometer‐scale biogenic crystals.Certain fish display silvery or blue colour, not through pigments, but through specialized guanine crystals that exist within iridophore cells in their skin. Within these cells,

The potential for egg-guarding care in females of the damselfish, Dascyllus reticulatus, in the absence of uniparental male care.

Journal of Fish Biology, 2023
Male damselfish typically demonstrate uniparental egg-guarding care in nature. Potential plasticity in sexual behavior has recently been reported in various teleost fish.

How does damselfish risk assessment vary with increased predator and shoal size?

Journal of Experimental Marine Biology and Ecology, 2023
Predation is an important factor that influences the behavior of prey species. When approached by a predator, individuals must make escape decisions that may be sensitive to the level of perceived risk.

Narrowing the Horizon: Using Known Invasives and Propagule Pressure to Focus Risk Screening Efforts on Potential Invasives

Fishes, 2023
About 11 million marine ornamental fish of ca 1800 non-native species are imported into the USA each year. Selecting species for risk assessment is daunting for such a diverse pathway.

DAMSELFISH SEE COLOUR [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Biology, 2008
![Figure][1] Anyone lucky enough to dive on a coral reef knows they are truly breath taking. And the colours must be even more vibrant to the species that live there. Or are they? Ulrike Siebeck explains that although many marine species have several photoreceptors that detect light ...

The complete mitochondrial genome of Dascyllus trimaculatus (Rüppell, 1829)

Mitochondrial DNA. Part B. Resources, 2023
Damselfishes (family Pomacentridae) comprise approximately 400 species that play an important ecological role in temperate and coral reefs. Here, for the first time, we assemble and annotate the mitochondrial genome of Dascyllus trimaculatus, the three ...

Stable isotopes elucidate body-size and seasonal fluctuations in the feeding strategies of planktivorous fishes across a semi-enclosed tropical embayment

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022
Reef fish may switch feeding strategies due to fluctuations in resource availability or through ontogeny. A number of studies have explored these trophodynamics using carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) stable isotopes, but additional tracers such as ...

Prevalence of Aggression as it Relates to Territory Size, Fish Density, and Neighbor Number in the Yellowtail Damselfish, Stegastes arcifrons

Transactions of the Missouri Academy of Science, 2022
Territoriality plays a key role in the survival and reproduction of many species. Damselfish (Family: Pomacentridae), reef-dwelling fish found in tropical locations, are territorial and competitively engage both intra- and inter-specific fish in order ...
