Cleaner blues: Condition-dependent colour and cleaner fish service quality
Behavioural Processes, 2020While vivid colours in sexual signals can provide information on individual quality, vivid colours in interspecific signals have been interpreted mostly as indicating species identity and maximizing signal detection. Here we investigate if colour differences in an interspecific signal could also indicate relevant aspects of individual quality because ...

Cleaner shrimp are true cleaners of injured fish
Marine Biology, 2018Reef fishes sustain injuries from various behavioural and environmental interactions. Injured fishes have been observed frequenting cleaning stations to be attended by different cleaner fishes. This symbiotic relationship between injured fishes and cleaner fishes has only been observed in the wild and has never been demonstrated empirically for cleaner

Cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus recognise familiar clients
Animal Cognition, 2002Individual recognition has been attributed a crucial role in the evolution of complex social systems such as helping behaviour and cooperation. A classical example for interspecific cooperation is the mutualism between the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus and its client reef fish species.

Nature, 1999
The cleaning of client fish by cleaner fish is one of the most highly developed interspecific communication systems known. But even though it is a seemingly obvious mutualism1,2, several quantitative studies3,5 have failed to show any benefit for the clients, leading to the hypothesis that cleaner fish are ‘behavioural parasites’ that exploit the ...

Are cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus, inequity averse?
Animal Behaviour, 2012Inequity aversion (IA), a willingness to incur temporary costs to prevent unequal outcomes, is common in humans and thought to be beneficial in the context of cooperative relationships with nonkin, since it might allow individuals to regulate contributions to cooperative activities.

Choosing when to be a cleaner-fish mimic
Nature, 2005Little is known of how individuals find each other in interspecific mutualisms involving free-living partners. We tested the importance of two factors, namely body size and the presence of a lateral body stripe, in the recognition of cleanerfish by their fish clients. Clients on an Indonesian reef flat readily approached wooden models of the bluestreak

Choosy reef fish select cleaner fish that provide high-quality service
Animal Behaviour, 2002Abstract Reef fish that actively visit cleaner fish to have parasites and dead or infected tissue removed face two potential problems: they might have to wait while cleaners inspect other clients, and cleaners might feed on healthy body tissue, a behaviour that is referred to as cheating.

Are cleaner fishes replaceable on coral reefs as consumers of fish ectoparasites?
2022Specialist species have evolved to fill narrow niches but are especially susceptible to environmental change. With sufficient functional redundancy, ecosystem services can persist without specialists. Grooming behaviors are common in both terrestrial and aquatic organisms.
