Geographic variation in the damselfish-red alga cultivation mutualism in the Indo-West Pacific
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.

Dual roles of an algal farming damselfish as a cultivator and opportunistic browser of an invasive seaweed. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Herbivory is a fundamental process determining reef resilience, and while algal farming damselfishes can help shape benthic assemblages, an understanding of their contribution to areas outside of defended territories is relatively unexplored.

A test of the species confidence hypothesis in dusky damselfish
Current Zoology, 2023 Abstract 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. Studies on terrestrial lizards and birds have tested the species confidence hypothesis and shown that ...

Duration of Exposure to Elevated Temperature Affects Competitive Interactions in Juvenile Reef Fishes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Climate change will affect key ecological processes that structure natural communities, but the outcome of interactions between individuals and species will depend on their thermal plasticity.

BMC Evolutionary Biology, 2009 Background Damselfishes (Perciformes, Pomacentridae) are a major component of coral reef communities, and the functional diversity of their trophic anatomy is an important constituent of the ecological morphology of these systems.

Extraoral Taste Buds on the Paired Fins of Damselfishes
Integrative Organismal Biology, 2022 SynopsisSome fish species have taste buds on the surface of their bodies and fins, as well as in the oral cavity. The extraoral taste system of fish has traditionally been studied in species that inhabit environments and/or employ feeding strategies where vision is limited.

Social familiarity improves fast-start escape performance in schooling fish
Communications Biology, 2021 Nadler et al examined how social familiarity influences fast-start defensive responses in the tropical damselfish Chromis viridis. They showed that fish in familiar schools responded faster to threats and the behaviour of others in the school than those ...
