The mechanism(s) that cause such shifts in 25 population structure are unclear, but it is possible that young fish preferentially settle into 26 microhabitats where cleaner wrasse are present. As a first step to investigate this possibility, 27 we conducted aquarium experiments to examine whether settlement-stage and young 28 juveniles of ambon damselfish, Pomacentrus amboinensis, selected a microhabitat near a 29 cleaner wrasse (adult or juvenile). Both settlement-stage (0 d post-settlement) and juvenile (~ 30 5 weeks post-settlement) fish spent a greater proportion of time in a microhabitat adjacent to 31 L. dimidiatus than in one next to a control fish (a non-cleaner wrasse, Halichoeres 32 melanurus) or one where no fish was present.

I asked how you all are and again received many responses. A number are included in the next two sections. Nearly everyone still expresses confidence at having met the challenges and a great feeling of accomplishment even though tired of the whole thing; congratulations to you all! There are 117 new publications since December! Thanks to so many for the contributions and for letting me know how important AN continues to be. Please keep in touch and continue to send me contributions for the next issue. Keep safe, keep working, and good luck to everyone. *Ascidian News is not part of the scientific literature and should not be cited as such. NEWS AND VIEWS 1. From Hiroki Nishida ([email protected]) : In Japan, we are very slow to be vaccinated, but the labs are ordinarily opened and we can continue working. Number of patients are gradually increasing though and we are waiting for vaccines. I have to stay in my home and the lab. Postponement of 11th ITM (International Tunicate Meeting) This is an announcement about 11th ITM that had been planned to be held in July 2021 in Kobe, Japan. It is postponed by a year because of the global spread of COVID-19. We had an 11th ITM board meeting, and came to the conclusion that we had to reschedule it for July 2022 at the same venue (Konan University, Kobe, Japan) and similar dates (July 11 to 16).
