A ligament influences the diversification of damselfishes (Pomacentridae)

open access: yes, 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 ...

Coral-dwelling fish moderate bleaching susceptibility of coral hosts.

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

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

open access: yes, 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 ...

Evolution and diversity of ram-suction feeding in damselfishes (Pomacentridae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
peer reviewedThe cerato-mandibular (c-md) ligament is a synapomorphy within Pomacentridae that creates a tight link between the lower jaws and the hyoid bars.

Boat noise affects the early life history of two damselfishes

open access: yes, 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.

Interspecific differences in how habitat degradation affects escape response

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

Damselfishes of the Genus Dischistodus found in the Ryukyu Islands [PDF]

open access: yes
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.

Demography and age structures of coral reef damselfishes in the tropical eastern Pacific Ocean

open access: yes, 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.

Predicting Success of Range-Expanding Coral Reef Fish in Temperate Habitats Using Temperature-Abundance Relationships

open access: yesFrontiers in Marine Science, 2018
An 18-year database of coral reef fish expatriation poleward in South East Australia was used to estimate persistence of coal reef fish recruits on temperate reefs. Surveys have identified over 150 coral reef fish species recruiting to temperate reefs at
