Genomic structural variation in clownfish adaptive radiation

This study characterizes structural variation across 16 clownfish species, identifying extensive SVs and clarifying inversion events on chromosomes 18 and 9.

One species or several? Genomic evidence for deep divergence within the widely distributed anemonefish Amphiprion clarkii species complex

This study uses whole genome re-sequencing to reveal deep divergence within the Amphiprion clarkii species complex, identifying five lineages and challenging the taxonomic status of A. tricinctus.

Discovery and genomic characterization of a novel wild clownfish hybrid from the Philippines

The paper identifies a new wild clownfish hybrid in the Philippines and characterizes its genomic and phenotypic traits, showing it is a backcrossed descendant of A. sandaracinos and A. perideraion.

Color polymorphism in the saddleback clownfish, Amphiprion polymnus: species or complex?

The paper investigates whether color polymorphism in the saddleback clownfish represents intraspecific variation or multiple species using genomic and image data.

Host-use Drives Convergent Evolution in Clownfish and Disentangles the Mystery of an Iconic Adaptive Radiation

This study identifies sea anemone host use as the driver of convergent evolution in clownfish color and morphology, resolving a long-standing mystery in adaptive radiation.

Genetic basis of the evolution of vertical bars in clownfishes

This study investigates the genetic basis of vertical bar evolution in clownfish by analyzing changes in selective pressure on pigmentation-related genes.

Specialization into Host Sea Anemones Impacted Clownfish Demographic Responses to Pleistocene Sea Level Changes

The paper examines how clownfish demographic responses to Pleistocene sea level changes are influenced by their host specialization, revealing resilience in generalists and bottlenecks in specialists.

First draft genome assembly of an iconic clownfish species (Amphiprion frenatus)

The paper presents the first draft genome assembly of the tomato clownfish (Amphiprion frenatus), providing a resource for studying its life history traits and adaptive radiation.
