An Indo-Pacific damselfish (Neopomacentrus cyanomos) in the Gulf of Mexico: origin and mode of introduction [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
The Indo-West Pacific (IWP) coral-reef damselfish Neopomacentrus cyanomos is well established across the south-west Gulf of Mexico (SwGoMx). Comparisons of mtDNA sequences of the SwGoMx population with those from conspecifics from 16 sites scattered ...

Do fawn‐footed mosaic‐tailed rats experience age‐related cognitive decline in novel object recognition?

Journal of Zoology, Volume 329, Issue 3, Page 247-256, July 2026.
We explored age‐related cognitive decline in captive fawn‐footed mosaic‐tailed rats (Melomys cervinipes) using a novel object recognition task. Contrary to expectations, recognition memory did not decline with age, but recognition memory was lower in intermediate‐aged rats compared to both older and younger individuals.

Evaluating species at risk in data‐limited fisheries: A productivity–susceptibility analysis for marine aquarium fish

Ecological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 4, June 2026.
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.

Seascape Connectivity Shapes Genetic and Species β‐Diversity in Tropical Reef Fishes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Our study combines species occurrence data from five reef fish families with genomic SNP data for 19 species. A correlation between genetic and species β‐diversity emerges only in the Western Indian Ocean, where higher genetic β‐diversity and significant isolation by distance at both the population and community levels are detected.

Reef fish assemblages impacted by sponges overgrowing corals

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Numerous stressors are driving long‐term declines in coral cover on coral reefs, significantly impacting reef fish biodiversity and community structure. The benthic space made available by declining coral cover is often occupied by increases in other organisms, including macroalgae, encrusting ascidians, and sponges.

Broad-scale spatial distribution, microhabitat association and habitat partitioning of damselfishes (family Pomacentridae) on an Okinawan coral reef [PDF]

PeerJ
Spatial distribution of coral reef fishes is related to diverse environmental variables. This study aimed to elucidate the (1) broad-scale spatial distribution, (2) microhabitat-scale substrate association, (3) degree of dependence on live corals and (4)

Marine invertebrates and fishes exhibit inconsistent body size responses to ocean acidification

Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 71, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Body size is a fundamental characteristic of all living organisms that determines physiological functions and life‐history traits. Ecological theory predicts that ocean acidification can cause body size reductions, confirmed by several studies reporting miniaturization in ectotherms.

N-acetylated sugars in clownfish and damselfish skin mucus as messengers involved in chemical recognition by anemone host

Scientific Reports
The clownfish - sea anemone system is a great example of symbiotic mutualism where host «toxicity» does not impact its symbiont partner, although the underlying protection mechanism remains unclear.

Coral-dwelling fish moderate bleaching susceptibility of coral hosts.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Global environmental change has the potential to disrupt well established species interactions, with impacts on nutrient cycling and ecosystem function. On coral reefs, fish living within the branches of coral colonies can promote coral performance, and ...
