Asynchronous effects of heat stress on growth rates of massive corals and damselfish in the Red Sea.

PLoS ONE
Climate change is imposing multiple stressors on marine life, leading to a restructuring of ecological communities as species exhibit differential sensitivities to these stressors.

Long-term effects of a severe tropical cyclone on coral reef habitat and fish assemblages at the Whitsunday Islands, central Great Barrier Reef.

PLoS ONE
Coral reef habitats and associated fish communities can be severely impacted by physical disturbances such as storms and cyclones, which can dramatically reduce live coral cover.

The cerato-mandibular ligament: an innovation for sound production and feeding in damselfishes (Pomacentridae).

, 2014
editorial reviewedThe success of a taxonomic group can be promoted by a key character that allows the group to interact with its environment in a different way and to potentially occupy new niches.

Further insight into the iterative ecological radiation of damselfishes (Pomacentridae)

, 2017
editorial reviewedThe evolutionary history of Pomacentridae (damselfishes) is a rare example of the occurrence of an iterative ecological radiation in the ocean.

Trophic specialization influences the rate of environmental niche evolution in damselfishes (Pomacentridae) [PDF]

, 2012
The rate of environmental niche evolution describes the capability of species to explore the available environmental space and is known to vary among species owing to lineage-specific factors.

Rapid embryonic development supports the early onset of gill functions in two coral reef damselfishes

, 2021
The gill is one of the most important organs for growth and survival of fishes. Early life stages in coral reef fishes often exhibit extreme physiological and demographic characteristics that are linked to well-established respiratory and ionoregulatory ...

Zoogonids (trematoda) infecting Indo-West Pacific damselfishes (Pomacentridae), including the proposal of a new genus and two new species

Parasitology
As part of a broad survey of the trematodes of damselfishes (Pomacentridae) in the tropical Indo-West Pacific, zoogonids were collected from multiple localities in Australia, New Caledonia, and French Polynesia.

Interspecific differences in how habitat degradation affects escape response

Scientific Reports, 2017
Degradation of habitats is widespread and a leading cause of extinctions. Our study determined whether the change in the chemical landscape associated with coral degradation affected the way three fish species use olfactory information to optimize their ...

Reef fish endemism and genetic connectivity: Phylogeography of endemic damselfishes in the Hawaiian Archipelago [PDF]

, 2014
While it was once widely accepted that there is plentiful larval dispersal and high levels of connectivity in marine populations, studies detecting self-recruitment and local larval retention in reef fishes have revealed that not all marine organisms ...

Patterns of morphological evolution of the cephalic region in damselfishes (Perciformes: Pomacentridae) of the Eastern Pacific [PDF]

, 2011
peer reviewedPomacentridae are one of the most abundant fish families inhabiting reefs of tropical and temperate regions. This family, comprising 29 genera, shows a remarkable diversity of habitat preferences, feeding, and behaviours. Twenty-four species
