Abstract excerpt
Habitat fragmentation and loss are key threats to biodiversity, yet their impacts on marine species remain poorly understood. Clownfishes, which rely on sea anemones for shelter and reproduction, provide an interesting model to explore how ecological specialisation mediates species responses to habitat perturbations. We used whole-genome data from 382 individuals across 10 species with varying host...
