Abudefduf
Template:Short description Template:Automatic taxobox
Abudefduf, also known as the sergeant-majors, is a genus of fish in the family Pomacentridae.
The name is from Arabic ابو دفدوف abu, "the one with"; and def, "side", and the intensive plural ending -duf. The name thus means "the one with prominent sides".[1]
General biology
The approximately 20 species of Abudefduf may be divided into planktivores and benthivores and three broadly pantropical clades.[2][3][4] Two of the Abudefduf clades are primarily benthivorous and a third clade is composed of planktivores and is the most species-rich. Most diversification has occurred in the last 10 million years within this genus across all clades.[5][6]
