Ultraviolet-B wavelengths regulate changes in UV absorption of cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus mucus. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 High-energy wavelengths in the ultraviolet-B (UVB, 280-315 nm) and the UVA (315-400-nm) portion of the spectrum are harmful to terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Interestingly, UVA is also involved in the repair of UV induced damage.

To clean or not to clean: Cleaning mutualism breakdown in a tidal environment [PDF]
Ecology and Evolution, 2020 The dynamics and prevalence of mutualistic interactions, which are responsible for the maintenance and structuring of all ecological communities, are vulnerable to changes in abiotic and biotic environmental conditions.

Characteristics of the sleep structure in the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus
Zoological LettersSleep is a widespread phenomenon among animals, yet its evolutionary traits and core functions remain largely enigmatic. To elucidate the fundamental characteristics of behavioral sleep in fish, we conducted quantitative assessments of behavioral and ...

Population densities predict forebrain size variation in the cleaner fish Labroides dimidiatus [PDF]
Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2019 The ‘social brain hypothesis' proposes a causal link between social complexity and either brain size or the size of key brain parts known to be involved in cognitive processing and decision-making.

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 ...

Client reef fish prefer more blue-saturated cleaner wrasses Labroides dimidiatus.
Journal of Experimental BiologyIn interspecific signalling, vivid colours have been interpreted to enable species recognition and maximise signal detection. Recently, it has been shown that vivid colours can also convey information on individual fitness which could be advantageous for

Testing the Low-density Hypothesis for Reversed Sex Change in Polygynous Fish: Experiments in Labroides dimidiatus [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2014 Hermaphroditism is ubiquitous among plants and widespread in the animal kingdom. It is an unsolved problem why reversed sex change has evolved in polygynous and protogynous reef fish.
