Port areas are subjected to multiple anthropic pressures that directly impact residing marine
communities and deprive them of most of their essential ecological functions. Several global …

Predation risk effects are impacts on prey caused by predators that do not include
consumption. These can include changes in prey behaviour, physiology, and morphology …

Drivers of successful introduction of exotic species remain a major headline in marine
invasion biology. We ran two experiments aiming to disentangle the effects of abiotic factors …

Tropicalization is rapidly restructuring subtropical marine communities. A key driver for
tropicalization is changes in herbivory pressure that are linked with degrading ecosystem …

The ability to detect and respond to the presence of predation risk is under intense selection,
especially for small‐bodied fishes. Damselfishes (Pomacentridae) use auditory …

Predation is ubiquitous on coral reefs. Among the most charismatic group of reef predators
are the top predatory fishes, including sharks and large-bodied bony fishes. Despite the …

As habitats change, highly specialised species may die or be forced to relocate. However,
some obligate coral-dwelling damselfishes appear to survive the localized extinction of their …

The risk of predation is an important driver that tailors life histories in various ways. Using an
evolutionary model based on hormonal control, we study how different predation regimes …

The present study investigates how the humbug damselfish Dascyllus aruanus, subject of a
large number of ecological, evolutionary and behavioural studies, responds to the presence …

Human disturbances can prompt natural anti-predator behaviours in animals, affecting how
energy is traded off between immediate survival and reproduction. In our study of male …
