Description
Anemonefishes are one of the most popular and recognizable of fishes in the world; 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. Evolution, Development and Ecology of Anemonefishes: Model Organisms for Marine Science, is a multi-authored book covering all these areas; and provides an update on the research done with this model and the perspective it opens for the future. Key features include: – Basic and up-to-date information on an emerging fish model; – 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. 329 p.
