Ecological diversity of damselfishes (Pomacentridae) from Moorea
, 2014 The Pomacentridae (damselfishes) represents the 3rd most species-rich coral reef fish family, including 394 species spread worldwide. Recent studies suggested that damselfishes iteratively evolve along three main trophic guilds: “the pelagic feeders ...

Damselfishes of the Genus Dischistodus found in the Ryukyu Islands [PDF]
Two species of the damselfishes of the genus Dischistodus are recognized and described from the Ryukyu Islands. D. notophthalmus is recorded for the first time from the Japanese waters. D.

Territorial damselfishes as determinants of the structure of benthic communities on coral reefs
, 2001 This review evaluates the generalisation that territorial, herbivorous damselfishes (pomacentridae) have a major influence on the structure of algal, coral, other invertebrate and fish assemblages on coral reefs.

Boat noise affects the early life history of two damselfishes
, 2019 Anthropogenic noise can have a negative effect on the physiology and survival of marine fishes. Most research has focused on later life-stages, and few studies have investigated the effects of human-induced noise on embryogenesis.

Demography and age structures of coral reef damselfishes in the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean
, 2001 Few studies have examined spatial variation in the demography or age structures of coral reef fishes. We analysed sectioned sagittal otoliths to describe the age structures, growth and mortality of 5 species of Stegastes damselfishes.

Familiarity mediated by body size predicts intraspecific aggression in farming damselfishes
Aggressive territoriality can have significant benefits for resource acquisition yet is a costly behaviour. Selection should therefore favour mechanisms that allow individuals to modify their behaviour to maintain and defend their territory whilst ...

Trophic niches of thirteen damselfishes (Pomacentridae) at the Grand Récif of Toliara, Madagascar
, 2009 The damselfishes, with more than 340 species, constitute one of the most important families that live in the coral reef environment. Most of our knowledge of reef-fish ecology is based on this family, but their trophic ecology is poorly understood.

A re-appraisal of feeding relationships of damselfishes
, 2007 魚類在珊瑚礁生態系統中數量眾多，是重要的消費者。魚類食性的研究可以闡釋礁區生物種間複雜掠食關係，增進對海洋生態系能量傳遞鍵結的瞭解，因此是生態學研究的一個重要課題。雀鯛科魚類 (Damselfishes; Pomacentridae) 是棲息於熱帶珊瑚礁及亞熱帶礁區海域的重要魚類之一，以往雀鯛科魚類的食性資料，都是藉由分析魚類個體的胃內含物而獲得。胃內含物分析 (Stomach content analysis) 所顯示的是生物個體被捕獲前一刻的攝食情況，但對於碎屑或是細小生物類的食物 ...

Diet of Damselfishes (Pomacentridae): a multidisciplinary approach
, 2006 Coral reefs are the marine ecosystem showing the greatest fish diversity. Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) represent, with more than 340 species, one of the most important families in the coral reef environment. Currently their diet is understudied.
