Male cleaner wrasses adjust punishment of female partners according to the stakes [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2011 Punishment is an important deterrent against cheating in cooperative interactions. In humans, the severity of cheating affects the strength of punishment which, in turn, affects the punished individual's future behaviour. Here, we show such flexible adjustments for the first time in a non-human species, the cleaner wrasse ...

Individual identification of bony fishes using unique body markings: Implications and applications. [PDF]
J Fish BiolAbstract The natural variation in animal body markings, such as spots, stripes and blotches, offers a powerful tool for researchers, conservationists, citizen scientists and resource managers to distinguish specific individuals within species. By building libraries of photo‐identified individuals, we can track and differentiate individuals over time ...

Facilitative interspecific interactions in marine vertebrates across scales: from individuals to ecosystems. [PDF]
Biol Rev Camb Philos SocABSTRACT Facilitative interspecific interactions (FIIs) confer benefits to at least one participant without detriment to others. Although often less emphasised than antagonistic interactions in ecological studies, this review highlights the significant ecological role of FIIs across biological scales – from individual behaviours to population ...

Variation in Cleaner Wrasse Cooperation and Cognition: Influence of the Developmental Environment? [PDF]
Ethology, 2014 AbstractDeviations from model‐based predictions of strategies leading to stable cooperation between unrelated individuals have raised considerable debate in regards to decision‐making processes in humans. Here, we present data on cleaner wrasse (Labroides dimidiatus) that emphasize the importance of generalizing this discussion to other species, with ...

Marine ornamental species from European waters: a valuable overlooked resource or a future threat for the conservation of marine ecosystems? [PDF]
, 2006 The worldwide growth of the marine aquarium market has contributed to the degradation of coral reef ecosystems. Enforcing the legislation on importing ornamental species has led some European traders to concentrate on local species. Portugal is used as a

Parasite removal rates by the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus [PDF]
Marine Ecology Progress Series, 1996 The rate at which parasites (mainly gnathiid isopod larvae) were removed from fish by the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus was investigated. To examine the effect of this parasite removal on the parasites of fish, the number of parasites removed per individual host fish Hemigymnus melapterus per day was estimated and compared to the infection rate ...

The Neurobiology of Mutualistic Behavior: The Cleanerfish Swims into the Spotlight
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017 One of the most notorious examples of cooperation between different species happens in the cleaner-client fish mutualism. The best known cleaner fish species, the bluestreak Indo-Pacific cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus has been a model system to ...
