Damselfishes alleviate the impacts of sediments on host corals [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 Mutualisms play a critical role in ecological communities; however, the importance and prevalence of mutualistic associations can be modified by external stressors. On coral reefs, elevated sediment deposition can be a major stressor reducing the health of corals and reef resilience.

Learning temporal patterns of risk in a predator-diverse environment. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Predation plays a major role in shaping prey behaviour. Temporal patterns of predation risk have been shown to drive daily activity and foraging patterns in prey. Yet the ability to respond to temporal patterns of predation risk in environments inhabited

Fresh Submarine Groundwater Discharge Augments Growth in a Reef Fish
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 Fresh submarine groundwater discharge (fresh SGD), the efflux of terrestrial groundwater directly into the ocean, is a ubiquitous pathway for nutrient-rich freshwater to coastal ecosystems, altering their hydrography, hydrochemistry, and primary ...

Chromosome-level genome of the three-spot damselfish, Dascyllus trimaculatus
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2023 Damselfishes (Family: Pomacentridae) are a group of ecologically important, primarily coral reef fishes that include over 400 species. Damselfishes have been used as model organisms to study recruitment (anemonefishes), the effects of ocean acidification

The Effect of Algal-Gardening Damselfish on the Resilience of the Mesoamerican Reef
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019 The structures, functions, and services provided by coral reef ecosystems are deteriorating worldwide. However, not all coral reefs are affected the same way, with some showing signs of resistance and/or recovery from disturbances.

Modular diversification of the locomotor system in damselfishes (Pomacentridae) [PDF]
Journal of Morphology, 2016 ABSTRACTAs fish move and interact with their aquatic environment by swimming, small morphological variations of the locomotor system can have profound implications on fitness. Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) have inhabited coral reef ecosystems for more than 50 million years.

Environmental Extremes Are Associated with Dietary Patterns in Arabian Gulf Reef Fishes
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2017 Climate change is affecting the trophic ecology of reef fishes through changes in reef-associated food availability and fish feeding behavior. The southern Arabian Gulf is a thermally extreme environment, providing an opportunity to study fish diets on ...

Intrageneric differences in the effects of acute temperature exposure on competitive behaviour of damselfishes [PDF]
PeerJ, 2019 Projected increases in global temperatures brought on by climate change threaten to disrupt many biological and ecological processes. Tropical ectotherms, like many fishes, can be particularly susceptible to temperature change as they occupy environments
