Cleaning symbiosis and the disease triangle [PDF]
Pauline Narvaez found that the dedicated cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus, is susceptible to a diversity of parasites and can potentially transmit them to their fish clients.

Cleaner Wrasses Labroides dimidiatus Are More Cooperative in the Presence of an Audience [PDF]
Humans may help others even in situations where the recipient will not reciprocate [1-5]. In some cases, such behavior can be explained by the helpers increasing their image score, which will increase the probability that bystanders will help them in the future [5-7].

The Neurobiology of Mutualistic Behavior: The Cleanerfish Swims into the Spotlight
One of the most notorious examples of cooperation between different species happens in the cleaner-client fish mutualism. The best known cleaner fish species, the bluestreak Indo-Pacific cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus has been a model system to ...

Fish, mirrors, and a gradualist perspective on self-awareness.
The mirror mark test has encouraged a binary view of self-awareness according to which a few species possess this capacity whereas others do not. Given how evolution works, however, we need a more gradualist model of the various ways in which animals ...

Access to Cleaning Services Alters Fish Physiology Under Parasite Infection and Ocean Acidification
Cleaning symbioses are key mutualistic interactions where cleaners remove ectoparasites and tissues from client fishes. Such interactions elicit beneficial effects on clients’ ecophysiology, with cascading effects on fish diversity and abundance.

Image scoring and cooperation in a cleaner fish mutualism [PDF]
Humans are highly social animals and often help unrelated individuals that may never reciprocate the altruist's favour. This apparent evolutionary puzzle may be explained by the altruist's gain in social image: image-scoring bystanders, also known as ...

Patterns of Local Distribution of Labroides Dimidiatus in French Polynesian Atolls
Cleaning behaviour by fishes has been described to be either facultative or specialised. If being specialised in cleaning is more advantageous than to be a facultative cleaner, cleaner fishes would prefer to settle on reefs were ecological conditions promote specialisation.

The selective cleaning behaviour of juvenile blue-headed wrasse (Thalassoma bifasciatum) in the Caribbean [PDF]
Through the removal of parasites, dead skin and mucus from the bodies of visiting reef fish (clients), cleaner fish have a significant ecosystem function in the ecology of coral reefs.

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
