Arginine vasotocin regulation of interspecific cooperative behaviour in a cleaner fish. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2012
In an interspecific cooperative context, individuals must be prepared to tolerate close interactive proximity to other species but also need to be able to respond to relevant social stimuli in the most appropriate manner.

The macroecology of marine cleaning mutualisms

Journal of Animal Ecology, 2006
1. Marine cleaning mutualisms generally involve small fish or shrimps removing ectoparasites and other material from cooperating 'client' fish. We evaluate the role of fish abundance, body size and behaviour as determinants of interactions with cleaning mutualists. 2.

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.

Cheating and the evolutionary stability of mutualisms [PDF]

, 2002
Interspecific mutualisms have been playing a central role in the functioning of all ecosystems since the early history of life. Yet the theory of coevolution of mutualists is virtually nonexistent, by contrast with well-developed coevolutionary theories ...

Community business in Scotland: an alternative vision of 'enterprise culture', 1979-97 [PDF]

, 2018
The force and coherency with which Margaret Thatcher and her inner circle outlined their vision for ‘enterprise culture’, like so many aspects of Thatcherism, have masked the complexity of its origins and the histories of alternative responses.

Client fish traits underlying variation in service quality in a marine cleaning mutualism

Animal Behaviour, 2021
Game-theoretical models help us understand how and when cooperation can evolve and persist. However, current models fall short of explaining the striking amount of variation in cooperation levels that we observe in nature, even within a system. For example, an animal's ability to choose partners with which to interact can explain the maintenance of ...

Investigations into stability in the fig/ fig-wasp mutualism [PDF]

, 2010
Fig trees (Ficus, Moraceae) and their pollinating wasps (Chalcidoidea, Agaonidae) are involved in an obligate mutualism where each partner relies on the other in order to reproduce: the pollinating fig wasps are a fig tree’s only pollen disperser ...

Evolutionary biology and anthropology suggest biome reconstitution as a necessary approach toward dealing with immune disorders [PDF]

, 2013
Industrialized society currently faces a wide range of non-infectious, immune-related pandemics. These pandemics include a variety of autoimmune, inflammatory and allergic diseases that are often associated with common environmental triggers and with ...

Formal comment to Soler et al.: Great spotted cuckoo nestlings have no antipredatory effect on magpie or carrion crow host nests in southern Spain [PDF]

, 2017
The colonization of new adaptive zones is widely recognized as one of the hallmarks of adaptive radiation. However, the adoption of novel resources during this process is rarely distinguished from phenotypic change because morphology is a common proxy ...

Why mutual helping in most natural systems is neither conflict-free nor based on maximal conflict [PDF]

, 2016
Funding: All authors are funded by individual grants from the Swiss Science Foundation.Mutual helping for direct benefits can be explained by various game theoretical models, which differ mainly in terms of the underlying conflict of interest between two
