Damselfish face climate change: Impact of temperature and habitat structure on agonistic behavior
PLoS ONE, 2020 Oceans absorb a huge part of the atmospheric heat, leading to the rise in water temperature. Reefs are among the most affected ecosystems, where the complex behavioral repertoire of fishes is usually an indicator of environmental impacts.

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.

, 2021 We conducted an observational study on the benthic community of the fringing reefs in the two major bays in Moorea, French Polynesia (Cook’s Bay and Opunohu Bay) and investigated the relationship between the presence of damselfish (Stegastes nigricans ...

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

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

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.
