General Biology
The approximately 20 species of Abudefduf may be divided into planktivores and benthivores and three broadly pantropical clades.[3][4][5] 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.[6]
