The cleaning goby mutualism: a system without punishment, partner switching or tactile stimulation [PDF]
AbstractIn the cleanerfish–client mutualism involving the Indo‐Pacific cleaner wrasseLabroides dimidiatusand its reef fish clients, mechanisms such as ‘tactile stimulation’, partner switching and punishment are used by clients to control cheating by cleaners. We sought to establish whether these behaviours are general features of cleaning mutualisms by

Colourful stripes send mixed messages to safe and risky partners in a diffuse cleaning mutualism [PDF]
AbstractThe steps by which neutral, random and/or negative biological interactions evolve into mutualistic ones remain poorly understood. Here, we studyElacatinusgobies and the ‘client’ fishes they clean. Colourful stripes are common to mutualist cleaners and noncleaning sister species.

Long-term cleaning patterns of the sharknose goby (Elacatinus evelynae) [PDF]
Cleaning interactions, which involve a cleaner removing ectoparasites and other material from the body of a heterospecific (client), are iconic symbiotic interactions observed on coral reefs worldwide. These small cleaners play a disproportionately large

Helping in humans and other animals: a fruitful interdisciplinary dialogue. [PDF]
Humans are arguably unique in the extent and scale of cooperation with unrelated individuals. While pairwise interactions among non-relatives occur in some non-human species, there is scant evidence of the large-scale, often unconditional prosociality ...

Motorboat noise disrupts co-operative interspecific interactions
Human-made noise is contributing increasingly to ocean soundscapes. Its physical, physiological and behavioural effects on marine organisms are potentially widespread, but our understanding remains largely limited to intraspecific impacts.

Mutualism and evolutionary multiplayer games: revisiting the Red King
Coevolution of two species is typically thought to favour the evolution of faster evolutionary rates helping a species keep ahead in the Red Queen race, where `it takes all the running you can do to stay where you are'.

The pervasive nature of heterodox economic spaces at a time of neoliberal crisis: towards a “postneoliberal” anarchist future [PDF]
Re-reading the economic landscape of the western world as a largely non-capitalist landscape composed of economic plurality, this paper demonstrates how economic relations in contemporary western society are often embedded in non-commodified practices ...

Cleaning mutualism in Santa Luzia (Cape Verde Archipelago) and São Tomé Islands, Tropical Eastern Atlantic [PDF]
This work reports for the first time cleaning activity by fish and shrimps in Santa Luzia, Cape Verde Archipelago and Sao Tome Islands. Three new records of facultative cleaner fish species are presented. Facultative cleaners dominated by Labridae were the most observed cleaner fishes in the two studied islands.

The arginine-vasotocin and serotonergic systems affect interspecific social behaviour of client fish in marine cleaning mutualism [PDF]
Many species engage in mutualistic relationships with other species. The physiological mechanisms that affect the course of such social interactions are little understood. In the cleaning mutualism, cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus do not always act cooperatively by eating ectoparasites, but sometimes cheat by taking bites of mucus from so-called ...

THE ECOLOGY OF MUTUALISM [PDF]
Elementary ecology texts tell us that organisms interact in three fundamen tal ways, generally given the names competition, predation, and mutualism. The third member has gotten short shrift (264), and even its name is not generally agreed on.
