Larval settlement and juvenile group dynamics in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella)

Creator:

Booth, David J. (David John), 1958-

Abstract:

Patterns of settlement of larvae and population dynamics of juveniles are poorly known for coral reef fishes. During 1987 to 1989, I studied these phenomena in the domino damselfish (Dascyllus albisella), a species endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Larvae settle onto branching coral heads as new recruits (10-15 mm in...

The roles of environmental constraints and aggression on male-female pairing in the coral-reef fish Gobiosoma evelynae

Creator:

Harding, Jeffrey A.

Abstract:

Early theoretical models for the evolution of male-female pairing were based largely on studies of birds. These models assumed that biparental care of eggs and young was an essential component of pairing. However, male-female pairing is also a relatively common social system in coral-reef fishes, and biparental care of young...
