Uncovering the acoustic ecology of sympatric coral-dwelling fish with portable audio-video arrays [PDF]
Acoustic communication plays an important role in fish ecology and behaviour. Understanding how acoustic signals vary across species and populations is central to questions of sexual selection, population divergence, and environmental modulation of ...

PolyQ Length of the Clock Gene Is Correlated With Pelagic Larval Duration in the Damselfishes (Pomacentridae), but Within a Species Habitat Availability Counts [PDF]
Immediately after hatching, larvae of coral reef fish leave their natal reef environment and begin their pelagic larval phase probably to avoid high predation on the reef.

Size-specific recolonization success by coral-dwelling damselfishes moderates resilience to habitat loss. [PDF]
Increasing degradation of coral reef ecosystems and specifically, loss of corals is causing significant and widespread declines in the abundance of coral reef fishes, but the proximate cause(s) of these declines are largely unknown.

Familiarity mediated by body size predicts intraspecific aggression in farming damselfishes. [PDF]
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 ...

During a research of gill ectoparasites on damselfishes (Pomacentridae) and butterflyfishes (Chaetodontidae) from the Cayo Arcas reef in the Campeche Bank (Gulf of Mexico), the following monogenoids (Platyhelminthes) were found: Paraeuryhaliotrema ...

Evaluating species at risk in data-limited fisheries: A productivity-susceptibility analysis for marine aquarium fish. [PDF]
Abstract The marine aquarium trade (MAT) is a significant global industry harvesting millions of wild‐caught, live coral reef fishes for public and private aquaria markets in the United States and Europe annually, while supporting fisher livelihoods in the Indo‐Pacific.

![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 ...

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.
