Evolution, Development and Ecology of Anemonefishes
Model Organisms for Marine Science

Bioscience, Environment & Agriculture

Anemonefishes, one of the most popular and recognizable of fishes in the world, are much more than film characters; they are also emerging model organisms for studying the biology, ecology, and evolution of coral reef fishes. They are a group of 28 species often employed to study patterns and processes of social organization, intra- and inter-specific competition, sex change, mutualism, dispersal and connectivity of fish populations, habitat selection, pigment pattern formation, lifespan and predator-prey interactions. This multi-authored book covers all these areas and provides an update on the research done with this model and the perspective it opens for the future.

Key Features

Allows non-specialist readers to grasp the relevance of a wide research area
Provides accurate and easy to access information on each of the 28 species
Includes guidance for establishing a breeding colony
Documents that anemonefishes are useful model organisms for ecological, developmental and climate research
