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.

Transitive inference in cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus).
PLoS ONE, 2020 Transitive inference (TI) is the ability to infer unknown relationships from previous information. To test TI in non-human animals, transitive responding has been examined in a TI task where non-adjacent pairs were presented after premise pair training ...

Cleaner Fish Labroides dimidiatus Presence Does Not Indirectly Affect Demersal Zooplankton
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 Coral reef mutualisms involve complex trophic ecological relationships that produce indirect effects. Excluding mutualistic cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus from reefs indirectly increases the abundance of many fishes and reduces demersal stages of ...

Cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus perform above chance in a "matching-to-sample" experiment.
PLoS ONE, 2022 Concept learning have been studied widely in non-human animal species within or not an ecological context. Here we tested whether cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus, which show generalised rule learning in an ecologically relevant context; they generalise

Not so monochromatic: Size-dependency of both sex and color in the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 In marine interspecific cleaning mutualisms, small fish known as “cleaners” inspect the surface, gills and sometimes the mouth of “client” reef fish, eating ectoparasites, mucus, scales and dead or infected tissue.

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.

Sex differences in the cognitive abilities of a sex-changing fish species
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Males and females of the same species are known to differ at least in some cognitive domains, but such differences are not systematic across species. As a consequence, it remains unclear whether reported differences generally reflect adaptive adjustments

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.

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

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
