The role of serotonin in the modulation of cooperative behavior [PDF]

, 2017
We examined the modulatory role of serotonin in cooperation between unrelated individuals. The identification of the neurohormonal candidates that may modulate levels of cooperation in marine cleaning mutualisms has been a major aim in recent years.

Behavioral Evidence of Predator–Predator Commensalism: Cobia Track and Feed on Prey Disturbed by Southern Stingrays

Ethology, Volume 132, Issue 3, Page 225-234, March 2026.
We documented a novel predator–predator commensal foraging interaction between cobia (Rachycentron canadum) and a southern stingray (Hypanus americanus) in a shallow coastal habitat of Biscayne Bay, Florida. Using drone‐based observations, we recorded a 7‐min sequence in which a cobia closely tracked the stingray's movements and fed on prey disturbed ...

Cleaner fish and other wrasse match primates in their ability to delay gratification

Animal Behaviour, 2021
Humans are outstanding in their ability to achieve mutual cooperation for direct benefits. One often-quoted factor driving our unique cooperation skills is our ability to delay gratification for future benefits, which is supposedly linked to our advanced cognitive abilities relative to other species.

The Habitats and Biodiversity of Watamu Marine National Park: Evaluating Our Knowledge of One of East Africa's Oldest Marine Protected Areas [PDF]

, 2018
Watamu Marine National Park (WMNP) is one of the oldest no-take Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the world. Since its establishment in 1968, it has been the subject of a number of scientific studies as well as suffering from a range of modern threats to ...

Fraternal cooperation of hierarchical cancer parallels metazoan multicellularity and eusociality

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 1, Page 400-418, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Metazoan multicellularity and eusociality — both outcomes of the fraternal major transitions — have numerous features in common such as uneven distribution of group‐establishing potential. In addition to this framework, I argue herein that the group‐forming principles of metazoan multicellularity and eusociality are analogous to hierarchical ...

Long-term effects of the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus on coral reef fish communities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Cleaning behaviour is deemed a mutualism, however the benefit of cleaning interactions to client individuals is unknown. Furthermore, mechanisms that may shift fish community structure in the presence of cleaning organisms are unclear.

SlotLim: Catch advice for data‐limited vertebrate and invertebrate fisheries managed by harvest slot limits

Ecological Solutions and Evidence, Volume 7, Issue 1, January–March 2026.
SlotLim is a new harvest control rule that produces catch advice for vertebrate and invertebrate fisheries managed by harvest slot limits. The methodology is data‐limited, requiring a few years of fishery‐dependent data and life‐history information. The ‘SlotLim’ R package is available via CRAN. Abstract Minimum landing sizes are a fisheries management

Production of sounds by squirrelfish during symbiotic relationships with cleaner wrasses

Scientific Reports
AbstractExamples of symbiotic relationships often include cleaning mutualisms, typically involving interactions between cleaner fish and other fish, called the clients. While these cleaners can cooperate by removing ectoparasites from their clients, they can also deceive by feeding on client mucus, a behavior usually referred to as “cheating behavior ...
