Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 8, Page 1386-1400, August 2026.We show that ocean acidification, more than warming or marine heatwaves, alters shoaling behaviour indirectly by simplifying reef habitat and reducing population densities and shoal sizes. Because fish behaviour can be strongly mediated by shoal size, climate‐driven habitat change may reshape social dynamics that influence how range‐extending fishes ...

Behavioral trade-offs and habitat associations of coral-dwelling damselfishes (family Pomacentridae)
, 2020 Many coral reef fishes are intimately associated with branching corals. While these fishes rely on their host corals for shelter, fishes may exhibit behavioral trade-offs linked to spatial and temporal variations in their association with corals.

Modular Diversification of the Locomotor System in Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) [PDF]
, 2016 peer reviewedAs fish move and interact with their aquatic environment by swimming, small morphological variations of the locomotor system can have profound implications on fitness.

Diversity and Distributions, Volume 32, Issue 8, August 2026.ABSTRACT Aim Uncovering the drivers that shape biodiversity patterns is critical to understanding ecological and evolutionary dynamics. Despite evidence that biodiversity is influenced by processes at different spatial scales, little is known about the role of fine‐scale oceanographic processes on the structure of marine communities.

Long-term effects of the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus on coral reef fish communities. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Cleaning behaviour is deemed a mutualism, however the benefit of cleaning interactions to client individuals is unknown. Furthermore, mechanisms that may shift fish community structure in the presence of cleaning organisms are unclear.

Corals and Reef‐Dwelling Fish Regulate Carbon Storage and Cycling Processes in Coral Reef Ecosystems
Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 41, 22 July 2026.Coral reefs are biodiversity hotspots, yet their role in carbon storage and cycling remains poorly understood. Using field surveys and modeling in the South China Sea, we reveal the overlooked potential of carbon storage in reef ecosystems and how reef fish, corals, and surface sediment jointly shape reef carbon reservoirs.

A ligament influences the diversification of damselfishes (Pomacentridae)
, 2013 editorial reviewedThe Pomacentridae (damselfishes) is one of the most successful families of reef-associated fishes (386 species). In 1981, Stiassny described a synapomorphic trait of the Pomacentridae: the cerato-mandibular ligament (CML) joining the ...

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.We performed common garden experiments on offspring of the sea silverside Odontesthes regia to characterize thermal growth reaction norms of different populations along the Chilean coast. This showed that the species exhibits local adaptation in the form of countergradient growth adaptation because higher‐latitude southern populations grew faster at ...
