Feeding complementarity versus redundancy among herbivorous fishes on a Caribbean reef (2011, unknown): “…(Ceccarelli et al. 2001) and many damselfish species show important similarities and differences in feeding patterns (e.g., Jones et al. 2006; Ceccarelli 2007), their small size and previous access to these treatments presented us with the same difficulties in identifying their responses to…”
Habitat degradation increases functional originality in highly diverse coral reef fish assemblages (2016, background): “…small territories over coral rubble or within live coral outcrops (e.g., Stegastes spp.) are known to act as ecosystem engineers with the ability to alter benthic community composition (Ceccarelli 2007), and have been specifically linked to coral disease and survival (Casey et al. 2014, 2015).”
Trophic niches of thirteen damselfishes (Pomacentridae) at the Grand Récif of Toliara, Madagascar (2009, background): “For instance, the effects of herbivorous damselfishes on benthic communities are increasingly being studied (Hata and Kato 2002; Gobler et al. 2006; Ceccarelli 2007 ).”
Changes in Biodiversity and Functioning of Reef Fish Assemblages following Coral Bleaching and Coral Loss (2011, background): “It is also apparent that many territorial farming damselfishes favor sites with high coral cover in which to establish territories [116].”
