Allopatric divergence and speciation in coral reef fish: the three-spot dascyllus, Dascyllus trimaculatus, species complex.
Long pelagic larval phases and the absence of physical barriers impede rapid speciation and contrast the high diversity observed in marine ecosystems such as coral reefs. In this study, we used the three-spot dascyllus (Dascyllus trimaculatus) species complex to evaluate speciation modes at the spatial scale of the Indo-Pacific. The complex includes four recognized species and four main color m...
متن کاملSpecies boundaries, populations and colour morphs in the coral reef three-spot damselfish (Dascyllus trimaculatus) species complex.
Coloration patterns of tropical reef fishes is commonly used for taxonomic purposes, yet few studies have focused on the relationship between species boundaries and coloration types. The three-spot damselfish (Dascyllus trimaculatus) species complex comprises four species that vary both in geographical ranges and colour patterns making them an ideal model to study these relationships. We analys...
متن کاملColour thresholds in a coral reef fish
Coral reef fishes are among the most colourful animals in the world. Given the diversity of lifestyles and habitats on the reef, it is probable that in many instances coloration is a compromise between crypsis and communication. However, human observation of this coloration is biased by our primate visual system. Most animals have visual systems that are 'tuned' differently to humans; optimized...
متن کاملRegional Endothermy in a Coral Reef Fish?
Although a few pelagic species exhibit regional endothermy, most fish are regarded as ectotherms. However, we document significant regional endothermy in a benthic reef fish. Individual steephead parrotfish, Chlorurus microrhinos (Labridae, formerly Scaridae) were tagged and their internal temperatures were monitored for a 24 h period using active acoustic telemetry. At night, on the reef, C. m...
متن کاملPhysical habitat and social conditions across a coral reef shape spatial patterns of intraspecific behavioral variation in a demersal fish
Environmental variation holds a central role in determining the distribution and diversity of species. For any given taxon, the number and type of environmental variables that govern its distribution can range widely, but commonly include both abiotic parameters (e.g. temperature, salinity, wave energy, substratum shelter) and biotic variables such as food and social factors (e.g. conspecific d...
