Developmental and transcriptomic responses of Hawaiian bobtail squid early stages to ocean warming and acidification

This study examines the developmental and transcriptomic responses of Hawaiian bobtail squid to ocean warming and acidification, finding trade-offs in metabolism versus development and molecular changes like alternative splicing.

Using supervised machine learning to quantify cleaning behaviour

This paper develops a semi-automated system using DeepLabCut and a classification algorithm to quantify cleaning behaviour in cleaner wrasse and powder blue tang, achieving 90% accuracy and reducing manual annotation by 75%.

Cleaner gobies can solve a biological market task when the correct cue is larger

Cleaner gobies solved a biological market task using plate size as a cue but not other cues, suggesting cognitive abilities shaped by ecological roles.

Sickness behaviour within cleaning interactions

This study investigates if cleaner wrasses exhibit sickness behaviour to prevent disease spread during cleaning interactions, finding reduced activity and altered social interactions.
