Notes on the Life History of Two Californian Pomacentrids: Garibaldis, Hypsypops rubicunda (Girard), and Blacksmiths, Chromis punctipinnis (Cooper)
@inproceedings{Limbaugh1964NotesOT, title={Notes on the Life History of Two Californian Pomacentrids: Garibaldis, Hypsypops rubicunda (Girard), and Blacksmiths, Chromis punctipinnis (Cooper)}, author={Conrad Limbaugh}, year={1964} }
The range, life history, food, competitors, predators, and ectoparasitic cleaners of H ypsypops rubicunda and Chromis punctipinnis are considered. Both species exhibit elaborate prespawning and spaw ning behavior. N est preparation and nest behavior of the garibaldis are discussed in detail. THE POMACENTRIDS are well represented in tropical waters; de Beaufort ( 1940) listed 88 species divided into 11 genera for the IndoAustralian Archipelago, and Smith (19 53) gave 24 species for the South…Â

Seasonal variation in territorial response, and other aspects of the ecology of the Australian temperate pomacentrid fish Parma microlepis
- Environmental Science
- 1977
The Australian temperate pomacentrid fish Parma microlepis Gunther maintains permanent, interspecifically defended territories, and shows a reduced tendency to attack juvenile conspecifics at the time of year when they would be settling from the plankton.
Systematics of Damselfishes

The phylogenetic relationships of the damselfishes are examined herein using sequence data from five mitochondrial and three nuclear loci to reconstruct the phylogeny of pomacentrids via maximum likelihood, corroborating some conclusions drawn by recent studies but contradicting others.

Nesting behaviour of a temperate damselfish (Parma mccullochi) and its influence on algae
- Environmental Science
- 2013
The effect of algal manipulation by this temperate pomacentrid in an algal canopy dominated reef system, is comparable to the strongest effects of the tropical p Pomacentrids that maintain species poor, high biomass feeding areas in coral reef systems.

Predation on eggs by conspecific males in two Japanese damselfishes,Pomacentrus nagasakiensis andChromis notatus notatus, after removal of egg-guarding males
- Environmental Science, BiologyJournal of Ethology

Results suggest that males which intruded into vacant nests to eat eggs did not have clutches of their own during the spawning bouts when the experiments were done, and showed that the intruding males were not inferior to egg-guarding males in standard length, gonadosomatic index, and condition factor.
