Potential plasticity in sexual behavior has recently been reported in various teleost fish. To examine behavioral plasticity in parental care, we conducted aquarium experiments to explore the potential for egg\u2010guarding care in the female damselfish, <jats:italic>Dascyllus reticulatus<\/jats:italic>. After initial caretaking, males were removed from the mating nests, and cohabiting females frequently exhibited egg predation on the same day. However, we confirmed that females showed significantly decreased egg\u2010predation frequencies on the following day and showed egg\u2010caring behaviors. All experimental females guarded their eggs until they hatched. Females subsequently spawned eggs as females even after performing parental care behaviors, indicating no progression of sex change into males. Molecular analysis of select pituitary gland hormones indicated that egg\u2010caring females and males showed high expression levels of prolactin, suggesting its involvement in the development of parental care behaviors. The cryptic possession of caretaking ability in females may be a tactical response to the need for temporary replacement of the care roles in cases where caretaking males are removed, for example, through predation, in damselfish species living in sexually cohabiting groups.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/jfb.15640","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]],"date-time":"2023-12-20T23:28:30Z","timestamp":1703114910000},"page":"979-988","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["The potential for egg\u2010guarding care in females of the damselfish, <scp><i>Dascyllus reticulatus<\/i><\/scp>, in the absence of uniparental male care"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"104","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9602-1601","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoichi","family":"Sakai","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Biosphere Science Hiroshima University  Higashi\u2010Hiroshima Japan"},{"name":"Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life Hiroshima University  Higashi\u2010Hiroshima Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yu","family":"Muranaka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Applied Biological Science Hiroshima University  Higashi\u2010Hiroshima Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiromi","family":"Nakayama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kobe Municipal Suma Aqualife Park  Kobe Japan"},{"name":"Kobe Port Museum \u00e1toa  Kobe Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Koji","family":"Baba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Kobe Municipal Suma Aqualife Park  Kobe Japan"},{"name":"Granvista  Kobe Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuya","family":"Matsushita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Biosphere Science Hiroshima University  Higashi\u2010Hiroshima Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hiroyuki","family":"Kuwahara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Biosphere Science Hiroshima University  Higashi\u2010Hiroshima Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2955-8043","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Hisato","family":"Kuniyoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Graduate School of Biosphere Science Hiroshima University  Higashi\u2010Hiroshima Japan"},{"name":"Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life Hiroshima University  Higashi\u2010Hiroshima Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","volume-title":"Damselfishes of the world","author":"Allen G.
