The role of antipatharians (black corals) in supporting tropical shallow reef fishes. ABSTRACT Addressing anthropogenic threats compromising the persistence of tropical marine ecosystems requires a comprehensive understanding of the fundamental ecological functions organisms fulfill in these realms.

Pairs of cleaner fish prolong interaction duration with client reef fish by increasing service quality [PDF]
We present field experiments showing that levels of cooperation quantitatively predict the duration of interactions between the cleaner wrasse and its reef fish clients.

Alteration of cleaner wrasse cognition and brain morphology under marine heatwaves
Read the free Plain Language Summary for this article on the Journal blog. Abstract Heatwaves, exacerbated by global warming, are progressively affecting various ecosystems, with coral reefs among the most susceptible. Within these ecosystems, cleaner wrasses (Labroides dimidiatus) engage in cooperative interactions with client fish by removing ...

Megalocytivirus: A Review of Epidemiology, Pathogenicity, Immune Evasion, and Prevention Strategies
ABSTRACT Megalocytivirus, a large double‐stranded DNA virus belonging to the Iridoviridae family, has infected over 100 species of fish, leading to significant economic losses in the aquaculture, food, and ornamental fish industries. These viruses exhibit icosahedral symmetry and have diameters ranging from 120 to 200 nm.

Distinguishing personal belief from scientific knowledge for the betterment of killer whale welfare – a commentary [PDF]
We contest publication of Marino et al. regarding captive killer whale (Orcinus orca) welfare because of misrepresentations of available data and the use of citations that do not support assertions. Marino et al. misrepresent stress response concepts and

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 ...

Comparing remote and hand‐held video observation methods for quantifying a cleaning mutualism
Abstract Field studies of cleaning mutualisms use a variety of methods to quantify behavioral dynamics. Studies in marine systems typically utilize data recorded by human observers on scuba or snorkel or via remote underwater video. The effects of these different methods on cleaner–client behaviors have not been rigorously assessed.

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.
