  abstract = {{W}e investigated the short-term impact of environmental-induced stress on survival and neutral genetic diversity of recently settled juveniles of a damselfish, {D}ascyllus aruanus, using spatiotemporal caging experiments in various natural environmental conditions in {M}oorea ({F}rench {P}olynesia). {J}uveniles' mortality was followed at five study sites and overall four experiments, mortality rates ranged from 0 to 45%. {M}ortality rate and average daily water temperature were positively correlated ({P} = 0.018). {J}uveniles' mortality rate and allelic richness estimated from ten microsatellite loci were negatively correlated ({P} = 0.046). {T}ogether, an overdominance of heterozygotes was observed within hostile environments. {T}hese results suggest that an allelic richness loss may be expected as a direct consequence of unfavorable environmental conditions. {T}hus, a worrisome scenario on demographic and genetic consequences may be expected from habitat degradation in the context of global change and human pressure increases.},
