Microbiota composition data for wild and captive bluestreak cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus (Valenciennes, 1839) [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2020 The Labroides dimidiatus is known as the “doctor fish” because of its role in removing parasites and infectious pathogens from the body of other fishes.

In the absence of extensive initial training, cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus fail a transitive inference task. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 Transitive inference (TI) is a reasoning capacity that allows individuals to deduce unknown pair relationships from previous knowledge of other pair relationships.

Sea lice prevention strategies affect cleaner fish delousing efficacy in commercial Atlantic salmon sea cages [PDF]
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2020 Over the last 2 decades, cleaner fishes have been employed to remove external sea lice parasites from Atlantic salmon Salmo salar in sea cages. Norway, Scotland, Ireland, and the Faroe Islands combined now use ~60 million cleaner fish per year.

Characteristics of the sleep structure in the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus [PDF]
Zoological LettersSleep is a widespread phenomenon among animals, yet its evolutionary traits and core functions remain largely enigmatic. To elucidate the fundamental characteristics of behavioral sleep in fish, we conducted quantitative assessments of behavioral and ...

Do cleaning organisms reduce the stress response of client reef fish? [PDF]
Frontiers in Zoology, 2007 Background Marine cleaning interactions in which cleaner fish or shrimps remove parasites from visiting 'client' reef fish are a textbook example of mutualism. However, there is yet no conclusive evidence that cleaning organisms significantly improve the

Relative Brain and Brain Part Sizes Provide Only Limited Evidence that Machiavellian Behaviour in Cleaner Wrasse Is Cognitively Demanding. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 It is currently widely accepted that the complexity of a species' social life is a major determinant of its brain complexity, as predicted by the social brain hypothesis.

Neuro-molecular characterization of fish cleaning interactions [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Coral reef fish exhibit a large variety of behaviours crucial for fitness and survival. The cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus displays cognitive abilities during interspecific interactions by providing services of ectoparasite cleaning, thus serving as
