Many immature individuals and largest size classes lacked females for three coral reef fishes (Actinopterygii) in Fiji market surveys: Implications for fishery management

Data-limited fisheries benefit from using life-history traits as biological indicators of targeted stocks. We used histology-based reproductive analyses to estimate size at maturity, per capita egg…

Contrasting Evolutionary Paths Among Indo-Pacific Pomacentrus Species Promoted by Extensive Pericentric Inversions and Genome Organization of Repetitive Sequences.

Different chromosomal pathways followed the phyletic diversification in the Pomacentrus genus, making possible the characterization of two well-contrasting species groups regarding their karyotype features, including P. moluccensis and P. cuneatus.

The quantification of external colour changes during sexual transition in the protogynous spotty wrasse Notolabrus celidotus

Developing a systematic colour measurement in the protogynous N. celidotus means developing a systematic approach to colour quantification in fish.

Monogamy and sex change by aggressive dominance in coral reef fish

Social controlled proteandric hermaphroditism is described in the anemone fish Amphiprion, in which females control production of females by aggressive dominance over males.

Sexual Allocation in a Simultaneously Hermaphroditic Coral Reef Fish

E egg trading and the pattern of allocation of reproductive effort account for the evolutionary stability of the hermaphroditism by providing a fecundity advantage similar to that of parthenogens over sexual organisms.

The Evolution of Hermaphroditism in Fishes

Recently, a renewed interest in the philosophy and methodology of systematic biology has resulted in some dramatic changes in our concepts of the phylogenetic relationships of the vertebrates. These…

Population Structure, Reproductive Behavior and Protogynous Hermaphroditism in the Angelfish.

Detailed studies of both the reproductive units and courtship behavioral patterns of representatives of the various angelfish genera may eventually provide useful tools for classification of this difficult family.

Mating Systems, Sex Change and Sexual Demography in the Rainbow Wrasse, Thalassoma lucasanum

This study extends observations to the abundant rainbow wrasse of the eastern tropical Pacific, finding that social mediation of sex change may be of value in preventing sex change from occurring at all in situations where the costs of transformation are too great.

The Evolution of Hermaphroditism Among Animals

The literature is reviewed to show the conditions under which hermaphroditism may have evolved and it is concluded that all thee explanations have some validity.

Evidence for protogynous hermaphroditism in some lethrinid fishes

An examination of the size/sex relationships and gonadial structure and histology of eight species of the commercially important family Lethrinidae suggests that protogynous hermaphroditism is the typical mode of sexuality in these fishes.

Social Control of Sex Reversal in a Coral-Reef Fish

Males of Labroides dimidiatus control the process of sex reversal within social groups by actively dominating them and death of the male releases this suppression and the dominant female of the harem changes sex immediately.

Sexual patterns in the labroid fishes of the Western Caribbean, II, the parrotfishes (Scaridae)

The results of a two year investigation into the interactions of sex change, coloration, and mating behavior in nine Caribbean wrasses show that sex change from female to male appears to precede a change of coloration into the bright terminal phase.
