Spatial autocorrelation and host anemone species drive variation in local components of fitness in a wild clownfish population by Marrot, Pascal, Fauvelot, Cécile, Berumen, Michael L, Srinivasan, Maya, Jones, Geoffrey P, Planes, Serge, Pujol, Benoit

“…Because of a long-term sampling effort, such information is available for the population of wild orange clownfish, Amphiprion percula, from Kimbe Island (Papua New Guinea). Previous work on the wild orange clownfish near Kimbe Island suggests that there is little adaptive potential and that variation in LRS is mainly driven by a breeder’s habitat. …”
